Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

34
DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

69
Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

34
IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

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...

Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

31
Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic imaging
  • Diagnostic performance evaluation
  • Adnexal mass classification

Background:

  • Adnexal masses require accurate classification for appropriate management.
  • The Gynecologic Imaging and Report Data System (GI-RADS) is a proposed tool for standardizing adnexal mass assessment.
  • Systematic evaluation of GI-RADS diagnostic performance is needed.

Approach:

  • A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted.
  • Searched multiple databases (Medline, Google Scholar, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science) from January 2009 to December 2021.
  • Pooled sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, and DOR were calculated; study quality assessed using QUADAS-2.

Key Points:

  • 26 studies including 7350 adnexal masses were analyzed.
  • GI-RADS demonstrated high pooled sensitivity (94%) and specificity (90%) for classifying adnexal masses.
  • High heterogeneity was observed, explained by multiple observers and study design.

Conclusions:

  • The GI-RADS system exhibits good diagnostic performance in classifying adnexal masses.
  • This supports its utility as a standardized reporting system in gynecologic imaging.
  • Further research may address heterogeneity to refine its application.
