Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT01:30

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

806
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 III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

268
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...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

337
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 for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray01:20

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

365
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

143
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic necessitates effective diagnostic and management tools.
  • Microbiological diagnosis is definitive, but imaging supports clinical decisions.
  • The lungs are the primary organ affected by SARS-CoV-2.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the role of imaging in COVID-19 diagnosis and management.
  • To compare the utility of chest X-rays and CT scans in COVID-19.
  • To describe common radiologic findings in COVID-19 patients.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging techniques used for COVID-19.
  • Comparison of chest X-ray and chest CT sensitivity and utility.
  • Description of typical radiologic manifestations.

Main Results:

  • Chest X-rays are accessible first-line tools for initial assessment.
  • Chest CT offers higher sensitivity for detecting pulmonary involvement and complications.
  • Common findings include bilateral, peripheral, lower-lobe airspace opacities (ground-glass and consolidations).

Conclusions:

  • Imaging is vital for supporting COVID-19 diagnosis, severity assessment, and treatment monitoring.
  • Chest CT provides more detailed information than chest X-ray for COVID-19.
  • Understanding typical radiologic findings aids in timely diagnosis and management of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
