Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

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...

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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Orthopedics
Radiology
Anatomy

Background:

Humeral version variability impacts shoulder arthroplasty.
Traditional 2D CT for humeral version has reproducibility and positioning issues.

Purpose of the Study:

Evaluate a novel 3D volume rendering technique for measuring humeral version.
Compare the accuracy and reproducibility of 3D vs. 2D CT methods.

Main Methods:

Eight human humerus specimens were used.
Gold standard measurements were obtained via metallic beads and fluoroscopy.
CT scans were performed in neutral and angled positions, analyzed with 2D and 3D techniques by blinded readers.

Main Results:

3D measurements averaged within 4.3 degrees of the gold standard.
3D technique showed improved accuracy over 2D for most readers.
Both intraobserver and interobserver variability were superior with the 3D technique.

Conclusions:

3D volume rendering CT offers an accurate and consistent method for measuring humeral version.
This technique is independent of patient positioning, overcoming 2D CT limitations.
