Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

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 the...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

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 for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality in US women.
  • Screening mammography offers significant mortality reduction (22-48%).
  • Underutilization of screening mammography persists despite its benefits.

Approach:

  • Review of screening mammography utilization data in the US.
  • Analysis of data sources: insurance claims, electronic medical records, patient surveys.
  • Identification of barriers impacting screening mammography use.

Key Points:

  • Mammography screening effectiveness is well-established.
  • Multiple data sources exist for utilization tracking, each with pros and cons.
  • Various barriers hinder widespread screening mammography adoption.

Conclusions:

  • Improving screening mammography utilization is essential for reducing breast cancer deaths.
  • Addressing identified barriers can enhance public health outcomes.
  • Further strategies are needed to boost screening mammography rates.
