Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

4.5K
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...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

5.1K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Flow Cytometry

The development of flow cytometry techniques began in 1934 with initial attempts by Andrew Moldavan, a bacteriologist who counted the cells in a flowing capillary system. Moldavan pumped cells through a capillary tube focused under a microscope for visualization. The invention of photometry allowed the measurement of differentially-stained cells, and Louis Kamentsky developed the first multiparameter flow cytometer in 1965 to identify and count the cancer cells in cervical tissue specimens.

Summary

Radiologists must distinguish flow artifacts from true pathology on contrast-enhanced CT scans. Understanding artifact mechanics aids diagnosis and can even serve as a diagnostic tool for vascular anatomy.

  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Flow artifacts are common in contrast-enhanced CT.
  • Distinguishing artifacts from pathology is challenging for radiologists.
  • Misinterpretation can lead to incorrect diagnoses, such as pulmonary embolism or aortic dissection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance radiologists' ability to differentiate flow artifacts from true pathologic conditions.
  • To explain the mechanisms behind flow artifact creation.
  • To highlight the diagnostic utility of flow artifacts in vascular imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging characteristics of flow artifacts.
  • Analysis of clinical conditions predisposing to flow artifacts.
  • Discussion of troubleshooting strategies for artifactual findings.
  • Exploration of flow artifacts as diagnostic tools for vascular anatomy.

Main Results:

  • Knowledge of artifact mechanics improves differentiation from pathology.
  • Awareness of predisposing clinical factors aids recognition.
  • Troubleshooting methods include protocol adjustment and additional imaging recommendations.
  • Flow artifacts can characterize shunts, venous collaterals, and altered blood flow patterns.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding flow artifact generation is crucial for accurate interpretation of contrast-enhanced CT.
  • This knowledge empowers radiologists to avoid misdiagnosis and optimize imaging protocols.
  • Flow artifacts offer valuable insights into vascular anatomy and hemodynamics.
