[Clinical results of dual-energy radiography in thoracic studies]
Abstract:
Dual energy methods permit the reconstruction of either soft tissue or calcium density structures. The value of the technique is demonstrated in 220 patients. Demonstration of the thoracic organs without superimposition of the skeleton improves the recognition of pulmonary lesions. Opacities related to ribs no longer simulate pulmonary lesions. The mediastinal borders are demonstrated more clearly by double spectrum radiography than by any other radiographic method. Soft tissue calcification can be shown with a high degree of sensitivity. Skeletal changes which may be obscured by overlapping soft tissue shadows on conventional radiography can also be diagnosed by this technique.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and 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 for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
