Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with 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...

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...

Summary

This study mapped the binocular functional visual-field for two subjects, revealing consistent boundary irregularities. The findings confirm previous observations of individual visual field shapes.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Neuroscience
Visual Science

Background:

The binocular functional visual-field defines the spatial extent for target detection around a fixation point.
Previous research has established baseline visual field shapes for individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

To map the binocular functional visual-field in two subjects.
To assess the consistency and characteristics of visual field shapes, including boundary irregularities.

Main Methods:

Utilized a peripherally presented target against a regular background.
Mapped the visual field for two human subjects.

Main Results:

The overall shapes of the binocular functional visual-field were remarkably similar between the two subjects.

Related Experiment Videos

The mapping confirmed the presence of boundary irregularities in the visual fields of both subjects.

Conclusions:

Individual binocular functional visual-field shapes exhibit high consistency.
Boundary irregularities are a notable characteristic of the visual fields in these subjects.
