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:

Neuroscience
Radiology
Sports Medicine

Background:

Concussions are often considered invisible injuries.
Conventional imaging like CT and MRI are insufficient for detecting concussive damage.
Advanced imaging is crucial for understanding the metabolic and ultrastructural changes after a concussion.

Purpose of the Study:

To review data from advanced neuroimaging techniques used to study concussions.
To highlight the utility of these techniques in explaining post-injury brain changes.

Main Methods:

Review of studies utilizing functional MRI (fMRI).
Review of studies utilizing single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
Review of studies utilizing positron emission tomography (PET).
Review of studies utilizing diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
Review of studies utilizing magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).

Main Results:

Each reviewed neuroimaging technique shows utility in characterizing brain alterations post-concussion.
Concussive injuries are detectable using advanced neuroimaging modalities.
The concussed brain exhibits distinct changes in acute and subacute phases.

Conclusions:

Advanced neuroimaging provides valuable insights into the pathophysiology of concussions.
Brain changes following concussion can be persistent, particularly in patients with chronic symptoms.
These techniques are essential for a comprehensive understanding of traumatic brain injury recovery.
