Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan01:30

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

111
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 III: X-Ray

172
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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

91
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Radiology
  • Patient Care

Background:

  • Interventional radiology procedures often cause patient discomfort, pain, and anxiety.
  • Traditional pain and anxiety management may not be sufficient for all patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the tolerance and feasibility of using virtual reality (VR) headsets during interventional radiology procedures.
  • To assess the safety, effectiveness, and patient satisfaction with VR in this setting.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, single-center study involving patients undergoing interventional radiology procedures from December 2020 to June 2022.
  • Patients were offered VR headsets in addition to standard analgesic and anxiolytic treatments.
  • Exclusion criteria included communication difficulties, epilepsy, non-verbal status, and pregnancy. Safety, feasibility, pain, anxiety, comfort, and satisfaction were evaluated.

Main Results:

  • VR headsets were offered to 100 patients, with 9 declining. Procedures were completed in 93.5% of cases, with only 6.6% removing the headset early.
  • Minor adverse events (discomfort, nausea) occurred in 2.3% of procedures; no major adverse events were reported.
  • 93.9% of patients reported overall benefit, 90.2% would recommend VR, and 94.4% of caregivers were satisfied. Mean pain and anxiety scores significantly decreased after the procedure.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual reality technology is a feasible and safe addition to traditional therapy for procedures performed under local anesthesia.
  • VR can significantly benefit patients by managing pain and anxiety during interventional radiology procedures.
  • High patient and caregiver satisfaction rates suggest VR is a valuable tool for enhancing patient experience in interventional radiology.
