Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

4.3K
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...

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...

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...

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

4.3K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate mapping of knee chondral surface topography is crucial for diagnosing and treating joint conditions.
  • Conventional methods like computed tomography (CT) provide detailed anatomical data but can be expensive and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of 3-dimensional (3D) iPhone scans using commercial applications compared to CT for mapping knee chondral surface topography.

Main Methods:

  • Ten cadaveric dysplastic trochleae, 16 patellae, and 24 distal femoral condyles (DFCs) were scanned using both CT and three iPhone X optical scanning applications.
  • 3D surface models were compared using a validated 3D-3D registration volume merge method to measure surface-to-surface least distance distribution.
  • Absolute least mean square distances were calculated between iPhone-generated and CT models using a point-to-surface distance algorithm.

Main Results:

  • Only one of the three iPhone scanning applications produced usable models for quantitative analysis.
  • The median absolute least mean square distance between the usable iPhone models and CT models was 0.18 mm.
  • The trochlea group showed significantly better accuracy (0.14 mm) than the DFC group (0.19 mm). iPhone models were generally smaller than CT models.

Conclusions:

  • 3D iPhone scanning applications can generate accurate, inexpensive, and real-time 3D models of knee structures.
  • The accuracy is comparable to conventional CT scanning for analyzing surface topography.
  • This technology holds potential for applications like graft selection in osteochondral allograft transplantation.
