Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

722
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

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 III: X-Ray

699
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Imaging Studies IV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

427
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,...

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:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • While women radiologists are increasing, their presence in interventional radiology (IR) lags significantly.
  • This disparity may stem from concerns about radiation exposure, particularly for pregnant women.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the underrepresentation of women in interventional radiology.
  • To provide clarity on radiation exposure risks for pregnant women in IR.
  • To support women in choosing and continuing IR careers during childbearing years.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on radiation safety in interventional radiology.
  • Analysis of current data on radiation exposure levels in IR procedures.
  • Examination of fetal risks associated with occupational radiation exposure.

Main Results:

  • Radiation exposure in modern interventional radiology is minimal.
  • Concerns regarding fetal health due to occupational radiation are often exaggerated.
  • Existing data does not support significant risk to developing fetuses from standard IR practices.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the minimal risks of radiation exposure can encourage more women to enter and remain in interventional radiology.
  • Accurate information empowers women to pursue IR careers confidently throughout their reproductive years.
  • Further guidance is needed for pregnant women in IR training and practice.
