Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal01:27

Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal

11.9K
Rectal temperature measurement is considered the most precise method for assessing core body temperature and typically registers higher than oral temperature. For adults, the rectal thermometer should be inserted 1 to 1.5 inches into the rectum to obtain the most accurate reading.
Follow these steps for rectal temperature assessment:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don clean gloves to prevent cross-infection.
Step 2: Position the patient in a side-lying position to better visualize the rectal...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

847
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...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

568
Description
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...

Cancer02:18

Cancer

53.9K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

What is Cancer?02:12

What is Cancer?

14.1K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

990
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is crucial for rectal cancer staging and follow-up.
  • Conventional MRI accuracy decreases in post-treatment evaluation due to tissue changes.
  • Distinguishing residual tumor from post-treatment effects like fibrosis and inflammation is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the technique and implications of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for rectal cancer.
  • To explore how mpMRI enhances diagnostic accuracy, especially post-treatment.
  • To summarize existing research on mpMRI in rectal cancer management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published studies on multiparametric MRI for rectal cancer.
  • Focus on diffusion and perfusion sequences added to standard MRI protocols.
  • Analysis of technique and potential clinical impact.

Main Results:

  • Multiparametric MRI integrates functional imaging (diffusion, perfusion) with morphologic sequences.
  • This approach aims to overcome limitations of conventional MRI in differentiating tumor from post-treatment changes.
  • Studies suggest mpMRI offers improved accuracy in rectal cancer assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Multiparametric MRI represents an advancement in rectal cancer imaging.
  • It holds significant potential for more accurate post-treatment evaluation.
  • Further research and clinical integration of mpMRI are warranted for improved patient outcomes.
