Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...
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 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...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Conventional film-screen mammography is being replaced by digital mammography.
  • Digital mammography is the gold standard for breast cancer screening and diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of digital mammography compared to conventional methods.
  • To highlight the benefits of digital mammography in specific patient groups and its advanced features.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of large international multi-center trials comparing digital and conventional mammography.
  • Review of advanced processing techniques and future trends in breast imaging.

Main Results:

  • Digital mammography demonstrates at least equivalence and in some cases superiority in breast cancer detection.
  • Improved detection in pre/perimenopausal women, women under 50, and those with dense breasts.
  • Computer-aided detection (CAD) can increase specificity for experienced readers.

Conclusions:

  • Digital mammography is a superior alternative to film-screen mammography for breast cancer detection.
  • Advanced digital mammography techniques like tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography offer improved diagnostic options.
  • Future breast imaging will likely involve the fusion of different imaging systems (hybrid systems).
