Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.6K
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 for Cardiovascular System V: CT

581
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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

627
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...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Radiology
  • Pediatric Imaging
  • Vascular Imaging

Background:

  • Postmortem imaging, particularly postmortem computed tomography (PMCT), is crucial in forensic investigations.
  • Multiphase postmortem computed tomography angiography (MPMCTA) offers detailed visualization of the vascular system, including small vessels.
  • Existing MPMCTA protocols are established for adults, with no specific guidelines for pediatric applications.

Observation:

  • A 7-year-old child underwent MPMCTA using adapted perfusion values from an adult protocol.
  • The same technical equipment used for adult cases was employed.
  • This case represents the first reported pediatric application of MPMCTA.

Findings:

  • The adapted MPMCTA protocol successfully visualized the pediatric vascular system.
  • Specific perfusion values were adjusted for the pediatric case.
  • The study identified challenges and potential improvements for pediatric MPMCTA.

Implications:

  • This work proposes a novel, adapted MPMCTA perfusion protocol for infants and children.
  • The findings aim to standardize pediatric postmortem vascular imaging in forensic science.
  • Further research can refine MPMCTA techniques for improved pediatric forensic investigations.
