Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

353
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...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

Computed Tomography

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...

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Properties of Enantiomers and Optical Activity

21.6K
It is essential to understand the difference between chiral and achiral interactions and the implications thereof in optical activity and their applications. Just as our feet, which are chiral, interact uniquely with chiral objects, such as a pair of shoes, but identically with achiral socks, enantiomers of a molecule exhibit different properties only when they interact with other chiral media. An example of a significant implication from this facet is the phenomenon known as optical activity,...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Keratoconus diagnosis traditionally relies on elevation-based topography.
  • There is a growing need for advanced imaging techniques in ophthalmology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the expanding role of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in keratoconus management.
  • To emphasize the diagnostic value of cross-sectional OCT imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing cross-sectional OCT imaging for detailed corneal analysis.
  • Measuring total corneal thickness and epithelial thickness.

Main Results:

  • OCT provides crucial cross-sectional views of the cornea.
  • Epithelial thickness measurements are significant for early keratoconus detection.
  • OCT is valuable for monitoring outcomes after keratoconus treatments.

Conclusions:

  • Optical coherence tomography is an increasingly important tool for keratoconus diagnosis and management.
  • OCT imaging, especially epithelial thickness assessment, aids in early disease identification and treatment follow-up.
