概括
与胸部X射线 (CXR) 相比,超低剂量计算机断层扫描 (ULDCT) 在诊断儿童异物吸收方面具有更高的灵敏度和特异性. 这种先进的成像技术提供了准确的结果,而不会显著增加辐射暴露或医疗保健成本.
科学领域:
- 儿科放射学 儿科放射学
- 诊断成像 诊断成像 诊断成像
- 胸部成像 胸部成像
背景情况:
- 外体吸收 (FBA) 是一个常见的儿科紧急情况,需要准确的诊断.
- 胸部X射线 (CXR) 通常是最初的成像方式,但其对FBA的诊断性能可能有限.

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...

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...

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...
