Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

240
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...

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

130
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...

Imaging Studies IV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

115
Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Parathyroid imaging is crucial for identifying hyperfunctioning glands in primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and valuable for secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) before surgery.
  • Accurate preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands is essential for successful minimally invasive parathyroidectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide updated, state-of-the-art guidelines for nuclear medicine physicians on parathyroid imaging.
  • To promote optimal parathyroid imaging for detecting and localizing hyperfunctioning parathyroid lesions in pHPT and sHPT.

Main Methods:

  • Guidelines developed by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM).
  • Covers parathyroid scintigraphy, SPECT/CT, PET/CT, and PET/MRI.
  • Addresses imaging in both primary (pHPT) and secondary (sHPT) hyperparathyroidism.

Main Results:

  • Nuclear medicine imaging techniques are highly sensitive for assessing the presence and number of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands.
  • Imaging can locate glands in typical or ectopic sites.
  • Accurate localization improves surgical outcomes and minimizes the need for extensive neck exploration.

Conclusions:

  • These EANM-authorized guidelines aim to optimize parathyroid imaging practices.
  • They will assist nuclear medicine physicians in the accurate detection and localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid lesions.
  • Updated guidelines reflect advancements in imaging techniques since the last edition.
