Abstract:
Calvarial lesions are frequently identified in radiological studies. A wide variety of neoplasms and non-neoplastic lesions can involve the calvarium, and their imaging appearances vary according to their pathologic features. These lesions are usually asymptomatic but may manifest as a lump with or without associated pain. Clinical information, including the age of patient, is an important factor in the diagnostic process. In this paper, we illustrate the value of cross-sectional imaging techniques by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating these lesions. We also review the literature and discuss the specific imaging characteristics of the most common calvarial lesions in order to provide information that can guide radiological diagnosis or limit differential diagnosis.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

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...
