Imaging Studies III: Gastrointestinal Motility Studies and Virtual Colonoscopy

This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow

The Barium Swallow Study, or a Barium Esophagogram, is a diagnostic imaging method used to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. It employs barium sulfate, a radiopaque contrast material, to provide clear images of the upper digestive system, helping to identify abnormalities, diseases, or structural issues.
Purpose and Procedure
Patients undergoing this procedure ingest a liquid containing barium sulfate with a chalky...

Imaging Studies II: Positron Emission Tomography and Scintigraphy

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.
Fundamental Principles of PET

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Biomechanics
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Swallowing is a complex neurological process.
  • Current imaging methods cannot capture both biomechanics and brain activity simultaneously.
  • Neurological conditions can significantly disrupt swallowing function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an updated pulse sequence, SimulScan, for simultaneous BOLD-fMRI and dynamic imaging.
  • To enable data-driven analysis of swallowing function using partial least squares (PLS).
  • To provide higher quality and faster dynamic imaging for improved swallow visualization.

Main Methods:

  • SimulScan was integrated with updated dynamic imaging for MRI at 23.75 fps.
  • BOLD fMRI was acquired at a 1.6s TR.
  • Five subjects underwent two SimulScan scans and videofluoroscopy for reliability testing using computational analysis of swallowing mechanics (CASM).

Main Results:

  • High reliability was observed for biomechanical swallowing measures using CASM (r=0.891) and between SimulScan and videofluoroscopy (r=0.686).
  • Correlations between dynamic and functional imaging showed high reliability within and across runs.
  • SimulScan with PLS analysis reliably mapped correlations between brain activity and oropharyngeal dynamics.

Conclusions:

  • The updated SimulScan with PLS analysis facilitates the study of the central control of swallowing.
  • This technique offers simultaneous biomechanical visualization and brain functional signal acquisition.
  • It opens new avenues for researching swallowing disorders in neurological conditions.
