Insights

CT coronary angiography (CTCA) provides valuable 3D imaging for complex coronary artery issues. However, CTCA

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular imaging
  • Interventional cardiology

Background:

  • CT coronary angiography (CTCA) offers noninvasive, detailed imaging of coronary arteries.
  • Complex coronary pathology often presents challenges in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate the utility of CTCA in resolving complex coronary pathology.
  • To highlight the importance of integrating anatomical and functional information for patient management.

Main Methods:

  • Case report detailing the application of CTCA.
  • Review of imaging findings in a complex coronary case.

Main Results:

  • CTCA provided valuable three-dimensional anatomical information.
  • The case demonstrated CTCA's potential in understanding intricate coronary lesions.

Conclusions:

  • CTCA is a useful tool for noninvasive assessment of coronary arteries.
  • Limitations of anatomical imaging necessitate the incorporation of functional data for comprehensive patient care.

Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
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...
