Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

883
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

366
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

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...

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Materials Science
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Assessing the feasibility of multicolour quantitative imaging using spectral photon-counting computed tomography (SPCCT).
  • Evaluating the performance of mixed contrast agents, including gadolinium, iodine, and gold nanoparticles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if SPCCT can differentiate and quantify multiple contrast agents simultaneously in a single scan.
  • To assess the accuracy and potential cross-contamination when imaging mixtures of different contrast agents.

Main Methods:

  • Prepared phantoms with varying concentrations of two contrast agents (gadolinium, iodine, gold).
  • Acquired scans using a preclinical SPCCT prototype, generating material-specific images.
  • Assessed correlation between prepared and measured concentrations and quantified cross-contamination using RMSE.
  • Calculated contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) for each agent.

Main Results:

  • Conventional images could not differentiate the contrast agents, but material images showed distinct signals.
  • Measured and prepared concentrations were highly correlated (R² ≥ 0.97).
  • Observed cross-contamination in iodine images for gold/gadolinium mixtures (RMSE = 0.34 mg/mL).
  • Iodine/gadolinium mixtures showed better CNR (3.20, 2.80) than gold/gadolinium (1.67, 1.37).

Conclusions:

  • SPCCT successfully enables multicolour quantitative imaging of mixed contrast agents.
  • This technique allows for sequential imaging of multiple uptake phases in a single scan by using different contrast agents.
