Abstract:
MR imaging automated spine survey iterative scan technique (ASSIST) provides an automated subminute, submillimeter, in-plane resolution survey of the entire spine in 2 contiguous sagittal fast gradient-echo breath-hold series with computer labeling of vertebrae and disks. The technique was prospectively tested in 13 school-aged children for a wide range of clinical indications. In all cases, imaging was successful without requiring repeated sequencing. In all but 1 patient manifesting prominent scoliosis, automated labeling was concordant with neuroradiologist assignments.

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...
Computed Tomography
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...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
