Brain Imaging

409
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

167
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:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Neurological symptoms are observed in COVID-19 patients, but their underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • Neurological manifestations can sometimes lead to the incidental diagnosis of underlying conditions.
  • Fahr's syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by bilateral brain calcifications.

Observation:

  • The study discusses a case where COVID-19 diagnosis facilitated the identification of Fahr's syndrome.
  • A case of primary brain calcifications was uncovered during the investigation of a suspected coronavirus infection.

Findings:

  • COVID-19 can serve as a diagnostic trigger for rare neurological conditions such as Fahr's syndrome.
  • Primary brain calcifications can be revealed through the diagnostic process initiated by suspected coronavirus infection.

Implications:

  • This highlights the importance of considering neurological assessments in COVID-19 patients.
  • The findings suggest a potential link between viral infections and the manifestation of primary brain calcifications.
  • Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms connecting COVID-19 and neurological disorders like Fahr's syndrome.
