Computed Tomography

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 III: Computed Tomography

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

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...

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Radiology
Orthodontics

Background:

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is increasingly adopted in orthodontics as a superior radiographic alternative.
Cephalometric analysis remains crucial for treatment planning, despite the rise of 3D analyses.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare cephalometric measurements from conventional radiography with those from CBCT-synthesized images.
To evaluate the reproducibility of different CBCT rendering techniques.

Main Methods:

Landmarks for Björk analysis were digitized by three observers on conventional cephalograms and two sets of CBCT-synthesized images (MIP and RayCast).
Data were collected from 34 orthodontic patients.

Main Results:

No significant differences were found in cephalometric measurements between conventional and CBCT-synthesized images.
The RayCast technique demonstrated higher reproducibility compared to the MIP technique.

Conclusions:

CBCT-synthesized cephalograms are a viable replacement for conventional headfilms in orthodontics.
The RayCast technique enhances the reliability of CBCT-based cephalometric analysis.
