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...

Alveoli and Alveolar Ducts

The respiratory zone of the human body, which stands in contrast to the conducting zone, comprises the structures that actively participate in the exchange of gases. The initiation of this zone is marked by the terminal bronchioles converging into respiratory bronchioles, the tiniest bronchiole classification. The respiratory bronchioles give way to the alveolar ducts that opens into a congregation of alveoli. Actively involved in gas exchange, alveoli resemble tiny sacs similar to clusters of...

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...

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial surgery
  • Medical imaging
  • Dental and oral surgery

Background:

  • Existing classifications for developmental defects lack preoperative radiographic evaluation integration.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scans offer detailed preoperative assessment for cleft lip and palate management.
  • Diverse treatments exist, but a standardized classification based on imaging is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel classification system for alveolar clefts based on CT scan analysis.
  • To enhance surgical planning and treatment strategies for cleft alveolus.
  • To establish a clinically relevant, CT-based system for the digital era.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective evaluation of archived CT scans for alveolar cleft morphology.
  • Comprehensive literature search (MEDLINE) for existing cleft classification systems.
  • Development of a new classification based on CT-observed morphological patterns and extent of cleft.

Main Results:

  • Identified five distinct types of alveolar clefts based on CT scan extent.
  • Found no prior classification exclusively using CT scans for cleft alveolus.
  • Reviewed twenty-nine historical classifications from 1922 to 2015.

Conclusions:

  • A CT scan-based classification is crucial for successful alveolar cleft surgical planning.
  • The proposed system offers clinical relevance and aids in relating surgical outcomes in the digital age.
  • Three-dimensional CT imaging facilitates virtual planning and improves patient satisfaction.
