Brain Imaging01:14

Brain Imaging

521
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

623
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...

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...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

8.6K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Neurotrauma

Background:

  • Computed tomography (CT) is standard for pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) but involves radiation exposure.
  • There is a need for safer, effective neuroimaging alternatives in pediatric emergency care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a QuickBrain MRI (qbMRI) protocol for detecting clinically important TBIs in pediatric emergency department patients.
  • To compare qbMRI's ability to identify radiographic TBIs against CT scans.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 73 pediatric trauma patients (<15 years) with suspected TBI.
  • Patients underwent both CT and qbMRI in the acute setting.
  • Clinically important TBI defined by need for surgery, prolonged ICU stay, or death.

Main Results:

  • qbMRI had a median acquisition time of under 5 minutes.
  • Sensitivity for clinically important TBI was 95% (95% CI = 77%-99%).
  • Sensitivity for any radiographic injury was 89% (95% CI = 78%-94%).

Conclusions:

  • qbMRI demonstrates high sensitivity for detecting clinically important traumatic brain injuries in children.
  • Further multi-institutional trials are recommended to validate these findings and support qbMRI adoption.
