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 VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Summary

Bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) affects 1.82% of patients, with no significant difference between sexes or sides. This rare anomaly may be more common in the Turkish population.

Background:

Bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) is a rare developmental anomaly of the temporomandibular joint.
Understanding its prevalence and characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the frequency and characteristics of bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) using computed tomography (CT).

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of CT scans from 550 patients.
Statistical comparison of BMC frequency between sides and sexes using T-tests and chi-squared tests.

Main Results:

BMC was identified in 10 patients (1.82%).
Seven patients had unilateral and three had bilateral BMCs, totaling 13 BMCs.
No statistically significant differences were observed in BMC prevalence based on side or sex.

Conclusions:

BMC is an uncommon anomaly, but may be more prevalent in the Turkish population.
Further research on the orientation of duplicated condylar heads is recommended.
