Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

6.8K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

X-ray Imaging

9.0K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

328
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 V: Intravenous Urography and Retrograde Pyelography

338
IntroductionIntravenous Urography (IVU) and Retrograde Pyelography (RP) are important diagnostic imaging techniques used to evaluate the urinary system. These methods help identify structural abnormalities, obstructions, and functional issues in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Both procedures use iodine-based contrast media to enhance the visibility of urinary tract structures on X-ray images, though they differ in their methods and indications.1. Intravenous Urography (IVU)Intravenous...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

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:

  • Dentistry
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Periapical lesions, often from endodontic infections, cause radiolucency requiring accurate diagnosis.
  • Radiographic methods are common, but ultrasonography offers a non-invasive alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for periapical lesions.
  • To compare ultrasound's accuracy against traditional radiographs in vivo.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Comprehensive literature search across major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science).
  • Quality assessment of included studies using the QUADAS-2 tool.

Main Results:

  • Five studies were included from 87 initially identified articles.
  • Ultrasonography demonstrated superior accuracy in distinguishing periapical lesions across all reviewed studies.
  • A notable risk of bias, particularly in patient selection, was identified in the included studies.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasonography appears to be a more accurate diagnostic tool for periapical lesions than radiographs.
  • Further high-quality research with robust protocols and minimized bias is necessary to solidify these findings.
