まとめ
パノラミック・レントゲン撮影 (PR) は,頭部と首の軟組織の結石化,すなわち桃石と状帯の結石化を効果的に検診します. 一般的ではあるが,これらの発見は,このトルコ人集団の年齢や性別と有意な関連性を示さなかった.
科学分野:
- 放射線科
- 口腔および面放射線科
- 頭と首のイメージング
背景:
- 頭と首の軟組織の骨化や化が 偶発的な発見です
- これには,桃石,化リンパ節,動脈硬化性プラーク,スチロホイド筋筋骨化,喉軟骨の化が含まれます.
- パノラマ放射線写真 (PR) は広く利用可能で,費用対効果の高い画像ツールです.
研究 の 目的:
- 一般的な頭と首の軟組織の結晶化と骨格化の発生率と分布を評価する.
- 患者の年齢と性別に関連してこれらの発見を分析する.
- 臨床医にこれらの偶発的なX線写真の発見とその診断的意義についての認識を高めること.
主な方法:
- トルコ人集団からの1193のパノラマ放射線写真 (PR) の遡及分析.
- 2人の放射線科医が軟組織の化と骨化について独立してPRを評価した.
- 年齢と性別との関連を評価するために,記述的方法とChi-squareテストを用いた統計分析.
主要な成果:
- 軟組織の化または骨化が10. 22%の患者で検出されました.
- 最も一般的な発見は,スチロホイド帯筋の骨化 (31),喉軟骨の化 (28),桃体 (25) であった.
- カルシフィケーションの存在と年齢層 (p=0. 284) または性別 (p=0. 122) の間には統計的に有意な関連性が見つかりませんでした.
結論:
- パノラマ放射線 (PR) は,頭部と首の柔らかい組織のカルシフィケーションの初期スクリーニングのための効果的な,アクセス可能なツールです.
- これらの発見は,一般的なものの,さらなる調査を必要とする根本的なシステム条件を示す可能性があります.
- CBCTや超音波のような 高度なイメージングが必要になります

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

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...

Bone Disorders
3.9K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

X-ray Imaging
6.9K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue
3.5K
Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...

Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification
7.3K
Intramembranous ossification is one of the two processes involved in the development of bones within an embryo. The flat bones of the face, most of the cranial bones, and the clavicles are formed via this process. During intramembranous ossification, the bones develop directly from sheets of undifferentiated mesenchymal connective tissue.
The process begins when mesenchymal cells in the embryonic skeleton gather together and differentiate into osteogenic cells, which then develop into ...

Compact Bone

Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
