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

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...

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...

Summary

Flat panel volume CT (fpVCT) and flat panel digital volume tomography (fpDVT) scanners offer improved image quality for temporal bone imaging. However, whole cadaveric head scans showed no significant difference compared to multisection CT (MSCT).

Computed Tomography

Background:

Flat panel detectors represent an advancement in CT technology for enhanced image resolution.
Flat panel volume CT (fpVCT) utilizes this technology.
Flat panel digital volume tomography (fpDVT) is a clinical application of this technology, often integrated with multisection CT (MSCT) scanners.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the image quality and diagnostic value of a prototype fpVCT scanner against a clinical fpDVT scanner and standard MSCT.
To evaluate the performance of advanced flat panel detector CT systems in radiological imaging.

Main Methods:

Five explanted temporal bones and two whole-head cadaveric specimens were scanned.
Imaging was performed using fpVCT, fpDVT, and MSCT scanners.
Three blinded observers assessed the delineation and appearance of 38 anatomical structures.

Main Results:

Both fpVCT and fpDVT demonstrated significantly better image quality than MSCT when imaging isolated temporal bones.
No significant differences in image quality were observed between fpVCT, fpDVT, and MSCT when whole cadaveric heads were scanned.

Conclusions:

Flat panel detector scanners offer theoretical and practical advantages, including potentially improved image quality.
Despite potential benefits, current flat panel technology did not show a significant imaging advantage over standard MSCT for whole cadaveric head scans.
