Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

7.6K
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...

Positron Emission Tomography

6.5K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

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:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Gastrointestinal Imaging
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Interpretation of gastrointestinal positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is challenging due to anatomical variations and physiological uptake.
  • These factors compromise the sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT in identifying true positives and negatives within the gastrointestinal tract.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of CT enterography integrated with PET/CT for improving gastrointestinal imaging.
  • To address the diagnostic limitations of standard PET/CT caused by bowel anatomy and physiological activity.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of CT enterography with PET/CT.
  • Utilizing negative/neutral contrast agents to distend the gut lumen.
  • Employing iodinated contrast agents to enhance the gastrointestinal wall and highlight pathological findings.

Main Results:

  • CT enterography significantly augments the diagnostic performance of PET/CT.
  • The technique improves imaging quality, physician confidence, and inter-rater agreement.
  • It effectively differentiates pathological findings from physiological uptake and anatomical variations.

Conclusions:

  • CT enterography is a valuable adjunct to PET/CT for gastrointestinal imaging, particularly for chronic inflammatory disorders and malignancies.
  • The procedure is feasible, easily executable, and has manageable side-effects.
  • Routine recommendation in cases with expected physiological interference is warranted.
