Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.2K
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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Radiology
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Canine Medicine

Background:

  • Wooden foreign bodies in dogs present diagnostic challenges.
  • Accurate detection is crucial for timely and effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe computed tomographic (CT) signs associated with wooden foreign bodies in dogs.
  • To estimate the diagnostic accuracy of CT for detecting wooden foreign bodies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cross-sectional study of 72 dogs with suspected wooden foreign bodies.
  • Review of patient records and CT images correlated with surgical findings.

Main Results:

  • CT sensitivity was 79% and specificity was 93% for detecting wooden foreign bodies.
  • Gas in soft tissues indicated acute cases; foreign material, lesions, and periosteal reaction suggested chronic cases.

Conclusions:

  • CT is a valuable tool for diagnosing wooden foreign bodies in dogs.
  • Specific CT findings correlate with acute versus chronic presentations, aiding in diagnosis and management.
