Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT01:25

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

362
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...

758
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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

377
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 V: CT

252
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...

Summary

Panoramic radiography is a widely used dental screening tool but has limitations in detecting subtle bone fractures. Prophylactic mandibular plating (PMP) may be necessary when fractures are underestimated or missed on these 2D images.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Radiology
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Panoramic radiography is a common dental imaging technique for screening bone lesions and pathologies.
  • It offers a broad view of jaw bones, maxillary sinus, and temporomandibular joint.
  • However, its diagnostic accuracy for subtle bone conditions, like nondisplaced fractures, is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the limitations of panoramic radiography in assessing bone conditions and detecting fracture lines.
  • To emphasize the importance of prophylactic mandibular plating (PMP) in specific clinical scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical experience with panoramic radiography.
  • Discussion of limitations including artifacts, distortion, and superimposition.
  • Comparison with alternative diagnostic and treatment methods.

Main Results:

  • Panoramic radiography often underestimates or misses nondisplaced mandibular fractures.
  • Image quality is compromised by artifacts, distortion, and positioning sensitivity.
  • Cone-beam computed tomography and clinical/intraoperative assessment are often required for definitive diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Panoramic radiography has significant limitations in evaluating bone integrity and detecting subtle fractures.
  • Prophylactic mandibular plating (PMP) or fixation should be considered when fractures are suspected but not clearly visualized.
  • Accurate fracture assessment may require advanced imaging or direct surgical evaluation.
