Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

653
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 for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

633
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 II: Positron Emission Tomography and Scintigraphy

748
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.5K
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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

3.0K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

721
IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic imaging
  • Skeletal system analysis
  • Medical diagnostics

Context:

  • Complex orthopedic cases requiring precise diagnostics and surgical planning.
  • Limitations of conventional radiographic techniques (X-ray, CT) in assessing whole-body skeletal alignment and weight-bearing conditions.
  • Need for reduced radiation exposure, particularly in pediatric patients.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the versatile applications of the EOS imaging system in orthopedics.
  • To emphasize its utility in diagnosing and planning corrective surgeries for spinal, pelvic, and lower extremity deformities.
  • To present EOS imaging as a low-radiation alternative for whole-body, weight-bearing examinations.

Summary:

  • The EOS imaging system provides full-body, weight-bearing examinations with significantly reduced radiation exposure compared to conventional methods.
  • It is indicated for complex orthopedic cases, including spinal and lower extremity malalignments, and for planning hip and knee arthroplasty.
  • Physicians can assess the entire skeletal system's response to planned surgical interventions, aiding in predicting effects on posture.

Impact:

  • Enables more accurate surgical planning and improved patient outcomes in complex orthopedic conditions.
  • Facilitates comprehensive skeletal assessment under physiological weight-bearing conditions.
  • Offers a safer imaging modality, especially for pediatric patients, due to lower radiation doses.
