Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

923
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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Breast cancer mortality is high, with delayed diagnosis causing 60% of deaths.
  • Early and accurate detection is vital for improving breast cancer patient survival rates.
  • Thermography, a non-invasive imaging technique, has a long history as a breast cancer screening tool.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review various breast cancer screening tools, focusing on thermography's advantages and limitations.
  • To analyze methodologies for interpreting breast thermal variations and diagnosing breast cancer.
  • To identify research gaps for improving thermography's accuracy in breast abnormality detection.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of breast cancer screening modalities.
  • Analysis of thermography's historical performance and recent technological advancements.
  • Examination of diagnostic performance metrics (accuracy, specificity, sensitivity) for thermography.

Main Results:

  • Thermography, despite historical subjectivity, is re-emerging due to technological maturation.
  • Various image processing, mathematical modeling, and AI approaches are being explored for breast thermal variation analysis.
  • Current research highlights potential but requires further validation for effective breast cancer risk prediction.

Conclusions:

  • Thermography shows promise as a low-risk tool for early breast cancer detection, particularly in younger women.
  • Further research is needed to enhance diagnostic accuracy and validate its predictive capabilities.
  • Addressing research gaps can improve the efficacy of thermography in breast cancer screening.
