Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called a...

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...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

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...

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging

Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Area of Science:

Oncology
Radiology
Pathology

Background:

Soft-tissue tumors are frequently encountered in clinical practice.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective patient management.
Histopathological classification is essential for treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the primary imaging characteristics of common soft-tissue sarcoma histotypes.
To correlate imaging findings with histopathological diagnoses.
To emphasize the role of imaging in the diagnostic pathway of soft-tissue sarcomas.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed and established medical textbooks.
Focus was placed on identifying characteristic imaging features for various soft-tissue sarcoma subtypes.
Data from the "Sarcomi" group at Istituto Oncologico Veneto over the past 5 years were considered.

Main Results:

Specific imaging patterns were identified for major soft-tissue sarcoma histotypes.
Radiological imaging can reliably diagnose a subset of soft-tissue tumors with typical presentations.
A systematic approach combining clinical and imaging data improves diagnostic accuracy.

Conclusions:

Imaging plays a pivotal role in the initial evaluation and diagnosis of soft-tissue sarcomas.
Understanding typical imaging features aids in differentiating benign from malignant soft-tissue lesions.
Integrated clinical and radiological assessment is fundamental for guiding further diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
