Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

585
DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

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...

Tooth Anatomy

2.6K
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

614
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:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Jaw pathologies and maxillofacial trauma require accurate diagnostic imaging.
  • Computed tomography (CT) is a key modality for evaluating complex anatomical regions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the nature, location, size, extent, and effects of jaw pathologies on surrounding structures using CT.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of CT in maxillofacial trauma.

Main Methods:

  • CT scans were performed on 29 subjects with jaw pathologies and maxillofacial injuries.
  • Characteristic features of pathologies were analyzed.
  • Fisher exact test was used to compare feature consistency (matrix, margins, density, number).

Main Results:

  • CT demonstrated distinct features for various jaw pathologies.
  • Analysis revealed consistency in features like matrix, margins, density, and number across pathologies.
  • The study highlighted CT's ability to characterize lesions.

Conclusions:

  • CT is crucial for accurately depicting the extent of jaw pathologies.
  • CT effectively illustrates the relationship between pathologies and adjacent anatomical structures.
  • This imaging modality aids in comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning.
