Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Pathology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Cross-sectional imaging is increasingly used in forensic pathology.
  • Assessing fatal injuries requires accurate diagnostic methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the practicability of post-mortem multislice computed tomography (MSCT) for fatal cut and stab injuries.
  • To compare MSCT findings with traditional autopsy results.

Main Methods:

  • 12 corpses with fatal cut and stab injuries underwent pre-autopsy MSCT.
  • MSCT was used to detect foreign bodies, wound channels, skeletal, and organ injuries.
  • Findings were compared with subsequent forensic autopsy results.

Main Results:

  • Post-mortem MSCT effectively identified foreign bodies and wound channels.
  • Skeletal and organ injuries were accurately assessed via MSCT.
  • MSCT findings correlated well with autopsy diagnoses.

Conclusions:

  • Post-mortem MSCT is a valuable tool in forensic pathology for evaluating fatal cut and stab injuries.
  • MSCT can aid in determining the cause of death in such cases.
