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 for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

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...

Area of Science:

Radiology
Medical Imaging
Pediatric Imaging

Background:

Advancements in helical and multi-slice CT (MDCT) have expanded imaging capabilities.
The 320-row MDCT system enables volume CT, mitigating helical scanning's over-beaming effect.
This technology allows for rapid data acquisition with a 16cm detector coverage and sub-second rotation times.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the utility of volume CT using a 320-row MDCT scanner for body imaging in pediatric patients.
To showcase representative examples of neck, cardiac, and skeletal investigations in children.

Main Methods:

Utilized a 320-row MDCT scanner with a 16cm detector, capable of reconstructing 640 slices.
Employed various scan modes including volume, helical, and single slice, with dose-saving technologies.
Included advanced reconstruction techniques such as iterative algorithms and multi-planar reconstruction.

Main Results:

Volume CT facilitates sub-second scanning over a 16cm z-coverage.
Despite challenges with contrast medium administration, the technology is applicable to pediatric body scanning.
Representative pediatric cases of neck, cardiac, and skeletal imaging were successfully acquired.

Conclusions:

320-row MDCT volume scanning is a valuable tool for pediatric body imaging.
The technology provides rapid, comprehensive imaging for various pediatric anatomical regions.
Further application of this advanced CT technology in pediatric radiology is warranted.
