科学分野:
- 放射線科
- 腫瘍学
- 乳房イメージング
背景:
- 乳腺の密度は乳がんの重要な危険因子です.
- 低用量計算機断層撮影 (LDCT) による肺がんのスクリーニングは,乳房の密度を特定します.
- CTとマンモグラフィの乳腺密度評価の相関は確立されています.
研究 の 目的:

- CTとマンモグラフィの乳房密度との相関を確認
- 補足的な乳がんスクリーニングの利用率を決定する.
主な方法:
- I-ELCAPプログラムから LDCTを投与された 濃厚な乳房を持つ英語を話す女性が参加しました
- 参加者は乳房密度に関する意識と知識に関するアンケートを記入しました.
- マンモグラフィの報告は密度のために分析され,不一致の症例は放射線科医によって見直されました.
主要な成果:
- 参加者の89%は 胸の密度を知っていました
- 64%は乳がんの追加スクリーニングを受けなかった.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
413
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT
119
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT
66
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
297
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...

Computed Tomography
6.1K
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...

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...
