Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT01:25

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

783
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...

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...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

1.5K
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Positron Emission Tomography

8.0K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Adolescent back pain is a common concern, particularly in athletes.
  • Stress fractures are often suspected in young athletes with activity-related back pain.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old gymnast presented with escalating lower thoracic back pain.
  • Physical examination identified localized tenderness around the T10 vertebral level.
  • A bone scan revealed focal radiotracer uptake adjacent to the midline.

Findings:

  • Combined interpretation of bone scan and spinal computed tomography (CT) confirmed apophysitis of the transverse process.
  • This condition involves inflammation of the apophysis, a bony outgrowth.

Implications:

  • Apophysitis of the transverse process is an uncommon etiology of back pain in adolescent athletes.
  • Accurate diagnosis requires integrating imaging findings, especially when differentiating from stress fractures.
  • Recognition of this rare cause is important for appropriate treatment and return-to-sport protocols.
