Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

425
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...

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...

Summary

Conventional imaging often misses subtle signs of concussion and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Advanced techniques like DTI and fMRI show promise for detecting these brain injuries in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Cerebral concussion and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) often present with subtle or absent findings on conventional imaging.
  • Common abnormalities like volume loss and microhemorrhages lack sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the limitations of conventional imaging in detecting concussion and CTE.
  • To explore the potential of advanced neuroimaging techniques for diagnosing these brain injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on conventional and advanced neuroimaging in concussion and CTE.
  • Discussion of techniques including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), BOLD fMRI, MR spectroscopy, perfusion imaging, PET, SPECT, and magnetoencephalography.

Main Results:

  • Conventional imaging shows poor sensitivity and specificity for concussion and CTE.
  • Advanced modalities like DTI and BOLD fMRI can detect physiological abnormalities in symptomatic patients.

Conclusions:

  • Advanced neuroimaging techniques show potential for improved clinical diagnosis of concussion and CTE.
  • Further research is needed to establish the clinical utility of these investigational methods.
