Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT01:30

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

246
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 III: Computed Tomography

12
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...

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

4.2K
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 III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

95
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: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

10
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...

Imaging Studies IV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

11
Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Radiology
  • Mobile Health

Background:

  • The proliferation of smartphones has led to a surge in medical mobile applications.
  • Despite widespread use in healthcare, few medical apps are approved for clinical diagnostic-therapeutic processes, including radiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To classify and evaluate radiological applications available on the Google Play and App Store platforms.
  • To assess the suitability of these apps for clinical use in the diagnostic-therapeutic process.

Main Methods:

  • A novel qualification system was developed by researchers to categorize radiological apps from the Google Play Store.
  • Applications were assessed based on criteria including download counts, with 228 apps analyzed from Google Play and 157 from the App Store.

Main Results:

  • Only 6 out of 228 (approximately 2.6%) radiological apps from the Google Play Store met the highest standard ('A' category) for clinical use.
  • Data from the App Store was not categorized due to the absence of download counts, a necessary metric in the developed rating system.
  • The majority of available radiological apps are primarily for educational purposes, not clinical practice, due to regulatory and certification requirements.

Conclusions:

  • A small fraction of available radiological mobile applications meet the criteria for clinical integration.
  • The study recommends high-standard 'A' category apps from the Google Play Store for clinical consideration.
  • Further development and regulatory approval are needed for more radiological apps to be utilized in patient care.
