Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

97
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...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

254
Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

193
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...

X-ray Imaging

5.6K
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:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Patient Education

Background:

  • Diagnostic imaging frequently utilizes ionizing radiation.
  • Patient understanding of radiation risks and procedures is vital for informed consent.
  • Current patient knowledge regarding ionizing radiation in medical imaging requires investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess patient knowledge of ionizing radiation in diagnostic imaging.
  • To evaluate the adequacy of information provided to patients about their radiological procedures.
  • To identify factors influencing patient understanding of radiation in imaging.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted with 374 participants at a university hospital.
  • A 14-question survey assessed patient awareness of ionizing radiation and procedure details.
  • Statistical analysis, including Chi-square tests, examined knowledge differences based on information received and education level.

Main Results:

  • 63.66% of patients reported being informed about their radiological exam, with 226 finding the explanation sufficient.
  • Only 47.37% correctly identified MRI as non-ionizing; 37.40% recognized chest X-ray as low-dose.
  • Higher education levels correlated with better knowledge of radiological procedures and associated risks.

Conclusions:

  • Patient knowledge regarding ionizing radiation in diagnostic imaging is suboptimal.
  • There is a clear need for improved patient education on radiological procedures and radiation safety.
  • Healthcare providers should enhance communication to ensure patients are adequately informed about imaging examinations.
