Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

561
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...

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...

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow

2.0K
The Barium Swallow Study, or a Barium Esophagogram, is a diagnostic imaging method used to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. It employs barium sulfate, a radiopaque contrast material, to provide clear images of the upper digestive system, helping to identify abnormalities, diseases, or structural issues.
Purpose and Procedure
Patients undergoing this procedure ingest a liquid containing barium sulfate with a chalky...

Summary

Bariatric surgery in obese women leads to reduced breast thickness and radiation dose in mammograms. Post-surgery mammograms show slightly denser breast tissue, but remain high quality.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Bariatric Surgery
  • Breast Imaging

Background:

  • Obese women face higher breast cancer risk.
  • Many bariatric surgery patients are over 40.
  • Bariatric surgery significantly impacts body composition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess mammography changes after bariatric surgery.
  • Evaluate technical and interpretive shifts in breast imaging post-surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of screening mammograms from 10 morbidly obese women pre- and post-bariatric surgery.
  • Analysis included breast density (ACR BI-RADS), imaging quality, compression, breast thickness, PNL length, kVp, and mAs.
  • Data compared between pre- and post-operative imaging.

Main Results:

  • Significant reductions observed in BMI, waist circumference, breast thickness, PNL length, kVp, and mAs post-surgery.
  • Mammographic radiation dose (kVp, mAs) decreased.
  • Breast density shifted towards scattered fibroglandular, with fewer fatty images.

Conclusions:

  • Quality mammography is feasible before and after bariatric surgery.
  • Weight loss results in slightly denser mammograms.
  • Bariatric surgery reduces mammographic radiation exposure.
