Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT01:30

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

328
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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

139
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...

X-ray Imaging

5.7K
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...

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

4.4K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

181
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Imaging Studies II: Positron Emission Tomography and Scintigraphy

213
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) standardizes interpretation and reporting for CT and MRI in patients at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
  • LI-RADS assigns categories (LR-1 to 5, LR-M, LR-TIV, LR-TR) to focal liver lesions based on major and ancillary image features to indicate the probability of malignancy.

Approach:

  • This review summarizes key CT and MRI features relevant to the LI-RADS system.
  • A step-by-step approach is presented for utilizing LI-RADS, explaining imaging features and modalities like contrast-enhanced CT and MRI with various contrast agents.

Key Points:

  • LI-RADS was developed to improve diagnosis and standardize categorization of findings in chronic liver disease.
  • CT/MRI LI-RADS utilizes major criteria and ancillary features for classifying liver observations.
  • Standardized LI-RADS terminology enhances communication between radiologists and referring physicians regarding liver observations.

Conclusions:

  • Widespread adoption of LI-RADS for CT/MRI reporting in high-risk patients can reduce inter-reader variability.
  • Implementing LI-RADS can improve communication among radiologists, oncologists, hepatologists, pathologists, and surgeons.
  • Standardized reporting through LI-RADS facilitates better patient management for hepatocellular carcinoma.
