Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT01:30

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

954
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

442
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...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

717
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 III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

337
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (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 I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

197
Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography01:27

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

222
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Radiology Training
  • Student Engagement

Background:

  • Radiology interest groups (RIGs) can increase early exposure to radiology within medical curricula.
  • The organizational structure and functions of Canadian RIGs are not well-documented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey active RIGs across Canada.
  • To understand the structure, function, and areas for improvement of Canadian RIGs.

Main Methods:

  • A 21-question survey was distributed to leaders of active RIGs in Canadian medical schools during the 2016-2017 academic year.

Main Results:

  • RIGs were present in 88% of Canadian medical schools, with a 100% response rate.
  • Common RIG activities include lunch and learns, career panels, networking, and curriculum events.
  • Key areas for improvement identified were general mentorship, shadowing, and research mentorship.

Conclusions:

  • Canadian RIGs effectively increase early awareness and education in radiology.
  • Radiology departments can enhance RIGs through institutional mentorship, research, and shadowing programs.
