Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT01:30

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

198
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...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

93
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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

79
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 for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

119
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...

X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

5.3K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

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:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiography
  • Paediatric Radiology

Background:

  • Radiographer preliminary image evaluation (PIE) is a patient safety measure.
  • It provides initial interpretations of radiographs to assist emergency referrers.
  • This study assesses PIE accuracy in paediatric trauma cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of radiographer preliminary image evaluation (PIE).
  • To assess the effectiveness of PIE in interpreting paediatric trauma radiographs.
  • To determine the role of PIE in emergency departments when radiologist reports are unavailable.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 498 paediatric radiographic examinations (under 16 years).
  • Comparison of radiographer PIE with final radiologist reports.
  • Calculation of sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy.

Main Results:

  • Overall diagnostic accuracy was 93.3%, with 84.3% sensitivity and 98.1% specificity.
  • Extremities were identified as a region with frequent misinterpretations.
  • Only 0.4% of cases had no PIE participation, and 2.6% were marked as unsure.

Conclusions:

  • Radiographers achieved high diagnostic accuracy in paediatric radiograph interpretation.
  • PIE can support timely diagnosis and treatment for paediatric emergency patients.
  • Further research and targeted training may enhance PIE performance, especially for extremities.
