概括
头部CT扫描经常在老年急诊室患有 Delirium 的病人身上进行. 然而,缺乏风险因素并没有显著降低阳性扫描的可能性,这表明CT可能对所有这些患者都是合理的.
科学领域:
- 紧急医疗 紧急医疗
- 老年病的医生 老年病的医生
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
背景情况:
- 脑部计算机断层扫描 (CT) 是常见的老年急诊室 (ED) 患者 Delirium.
- 缺乏基于证据的指导方针,用于这个人口群体的头部CT使用.
- 这项研究调查了缺乏特定风险因素是否可以排除需要头部CT.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定风险因素的缺失是否足以阻止老年痴呆ED患者的头部CT.
- 评估常见风险因素在预测异常头部CT发现中的有用性.
主要方法:
- 两项前性观察研究的二次分析.
- 包括65岁及以上的疯狂的急诊室患者.
- 评估的危险因素:抗凝剂使用,头部创伤,焦点神经缺陷,头痛,意识变化.
- 主要结局定义为"阳性复合头部CT" (在CT或30天内急性发现).
主要成果:
- 分析了160名患者;中位数年龄为76岁.
- 15.6%的患者呈阳性复合头部CT.
- 任何风险因素的存在对阳性CT有92.0%的灵敏度和13.3%的特异性.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
303
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...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
434
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...

X-ray Imaging
7.8K
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...

Respiratory System Abnormal Finding I: Inspection and Percussion
446
Respiratory system abnormalities are a significant concern in healthcare due to their potential to indicate underlying severe conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, and pneumonia. These abnormalities can often be detected through physical examination methods like inspection and percussion.
Inspection Findings
During an inspection, several findings may suggest the presence of respiratory distress or disease. Pursed-lip breathing, where exhalation is slowed by...
