Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

802
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...

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...

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

286
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...

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:

  • Radiology
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Osteoarthritis Research

Background:

  • Facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA) evaluation is crucial for understanding pain.
  • Multitask deep learning (DL) models show promise for FJOA assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a multitask DL model in assessing radiological features of FJOA.
  • To determine if DL assistance improves reader accuracy in FJOA evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study used 13,223 CT facet joint (FJ) patches from 1,360 patients.
  • A ResNet-18 based multitask DL model assessed FJOA features based on Weishaupt guidelines.
  • Reader accuracy with and without DL assistance was compared using paired t-tests on internal and external test datasets.

Main Results:

  • The DL model achieved high accuracy in assessing FJOA features: joint space narrowing (89.8% internal, 76.6% external), osteophytes (79.6% internal, 80.2% external), hypertrophy (65.5% internal, 56% external), subchondral bone erosions (88% internal, 89.6% external), and subchondral cysts (82.8% internal, 89.8% external).
  • The model's Gwet kappa value reached 0.88.
  • Junior readers demonstrated significantly improved assessment accuracy when using the DL model (p < 0.001 to 0.043).

Conclusions:

  • Multitask DL models are effective tools for evaluating FJOA radiological features.
  • DL assistance can enhance reader performance in FJOA image interpretation.
