Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT01:25

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

133
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

303
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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

174
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...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

434
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Osteoporosis is a prevalent global bone disease.
  • Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the standard for bone health assessment and fracture risk estimation.
  • Bone microarchitecture and tissue properties are altered in osteoporosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore advanced imaging techniques for comprehensive osteoporosis assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current and emerging imaging modalities including DXA, Trabecular Bone Score (TBS), Quantitative CT (QCT), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
  • Assessment of bone microarchitecture, volumetric BMD, bone strength, cortical porosity, and marrow fat using these techniques.

Main Results:

  • DXA-based TBS provides indirect information on bone microarchitecture.
  • QCT and FEA offer 3-D volumetric BMD and bone strength estimates.
  • MRI shows promise for assessing bone microarchitecture and tissue properties not detectable by DXA.

Conclusions:

  • No single parameter can fully characterize bone health in osteoporosis.
  • Advanced imaging techniques and image processing offer a comprehensive understanding of osteoporosis.
  • These methods hold potential for improved diagnosis, monitoring, and prediction of osteoporosis.
