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 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:

Ophthalmology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Traumatic chorioretinal injuries can lead to significant vision loss.
Accurate assessment of these injuries is crucial for understanding structural damage and functional deficits.

Observation:

Case studies detail the use of color fundus imaging, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and microperimetry in two patients with blunt ocular trauma.
FAF imaging revealed areas of hypofluorescence, while OCT provided detailed structural information of the macula.
Microperimetry assessed visual function, identifying scotomas corresponding to the areas of injury.

Findings:

Combined imaging modalities delineated the full extent of chorioretinal injury, including macular fibrosis and atrophy.
Digital filters enhanced visualization of scar tissue and fibrosis.
Correlations between structural findings from OCT and functional deficits from microperimetry were established.

Implications:

Complimentary imaging technologies offer a comprehensive approach to evaluating traumatic chorioretinal injuries.
These methods aid in understanding the relationship between ocular trauma, structural damage, and visual function.
Improved diagnostic capabilities can inform patient management and prognosis for visual recovery.
