Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
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...

Imaging Studies V: Intravenous Urography and Retrograde Pyelography

Imaging Studies V: Intravenous Urography and Retrograde Pyelography

IntroductionIntravenous Urography (IVU) and Retrograde Pyelography (RP) are important diagnostic imaging techniques used to evaluate the urinary system. These methods help identify structural abnormalities, obstructions, and functional issues in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Both procedures use iodine-based contrast media to enhance the visibility of urinary tract structures on X-ray images, though they differ in their methods and indications.1. Intravenous Urography (IVU)Intravenous...

Cardiac Catheterization I: Pre-Procedure Overview

Cardiac Catheterization I: Pre-Procedure Overview

Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...

Summary

Imaging-guided sampling aids in diagnosing soft tissue and bone lesions in pets when imaging alone is insufficient. Ultrasound and CT are key for obtaining samples for definitive diagnosis in veterinary medicine.

Area of Science:

Veterinary medicine
Diagnostic imaging
Interventional procedures

Background:

Medical imaging is crucial for diagnosing canine and feline lesions.
Imaging alone often cannot distinguish inflammatory/infectious from neoplastic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

To review imaging-guided sampling techniques for veterinary diagnostics.
To detail indications and procedures for sample collection.

Main Methods:

Review of interventional procedures under imaging guidance.
Focus on ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), MRI, and fluoroscopy.
Highlighting US and CT as preferred modalities.

Main Results:

Imaging-guided sampling provides definitive cytological or histopathological diagnoses.
Ultrasound and CT are the primary modalities for interventional imaging procedures.
Various imaging modalities facilitate sample collection for difficult diagnoses.

Conclusions:

Interventional imaging-guided sampling is vital for accurate veterinary diagnoses.
Ultrasound and CT are the most effective imaging modalities for these procedures.
This technique improves diagnostic capabilities for soft tissue and bone lesions.
