Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

633
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 I: CT and MRI

1.1K
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...

Body Planes

34.7K
Body planes in anatomy are imaginary flat surfaces used as reference points to divide the body into sections for anatomical study. These planes are essential for understanding the orientation, relationships, and spatial organization of anatomical structures.
The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body resulting in equal division, it is called the midsagittal or median...

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...

Functional Classification of Joints

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
Synarthrosis

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Triplane fractures present diagnostic challenges in clinical practice.
  • Accurate classification of pediatric ankle fractures is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate fracture patterns in Triplane fractures.
  • To assess the benefit of cross-sectional imaging in classifying Triplane fractures and other physeal ankle fractures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 27 pediatric ankle fracture cases.
  • Blinded evaluation of radiographic images (X-rays and cross-sectional imaging) by 13 observers.
  • Questionnaire assessing fracture classification and treatment suggestions.

Main Results:

  • Cross-sectional imaging improved overall fracture classification accuracy from 48.1% (conventional X-rays, specialists) to 75.6% (specialists).
  • Classification accuracy was higher for experienced pediatric trauma surgeons compared to less experienced fellows.
  • Triplane-II fractures showed a stereotypical pattern, while Triplane-I fractures were more variable.

Conclusions:

  • Cross-sectional imaging enhances the classification of pediatric ankle fractures for all physicians.
  • The added benefit of cross-sectional imaging is most pronounced for experienced surgeons in guiding treatment decisions.
