Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Imaging Studies IV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System IV: CMRI

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, or CMRI, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that employs a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to create precise images of the heart and arteries. It provides comprehensive information about cardiac anatomy, function, perfusion, and tissue characterization without ionizing radiation.IndicationsCMRI diagnoses various heart conditions, including tissue damage from heart attacks, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, aortic issues (tears, aneurysms,...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Speech Science
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Accurate assessment of velopharyngeal function is crucial for speech production.
    • Direct visualization of the velopharynx, especially the levator muscle, aids in functional evaluation.
    • Existing methods may not provide sufficient detail for comprehensive analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and demonstrate a static and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol.
    • To evaluate velopharyngeal structures and function using advanced MRI techniques.
    • To improve the visualization of the levator muscle and velopharyngeal dynamics.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a high-resolution, T2-weighted 3D anatomical scan for velopharyngeal anatomy.
    • Employed a fast-gradient echo, multi-shot spiral technique for dynamic speech assessment.
    • Acquired dynamic images at 15.8 frames per second (FPS) in sagittal and oblique coronal planes.

    Main Results:

    • Three-dimensional (3D) datasets allowed for complete appreciation of the levator muscle contour.
    • Dynamic 15.8 FPS imaging visualized movements of the velum, pharyngeal walls, and levator muscle during speech.
    • Enabled detailed observation of velopharyngeal structures in motion.

    Conclusions:

    • A 3D MRI sequence offers superior analysis and precise measurements of velopharyngeal structures.
    • Dynamic fast low-angle shot (FLASH) sequences visualize the levator muscle and velum during speech at high frame rates.
    • This protocol can significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment planning for velopharyngeal pathologies, including cleft lip and palate.
