Computed tomography A computed tomography (CT) scan also utilizes X-rays to produce images but, instead of being stationary, the X-ray tube rotates around the patient (Fig. 14.4). Specialized detectors collect the emerging X-rays and produce an electrical signal that is fed into a computer; ...
Computed tomography is a method of examining body organs by scanning them with X rays and using a computer to construct a series of cross-sectional scans along a single axis. Latest Research and Reviews Artificial intelligence for body composition assessment focusing on sarcopenia ...
Computed tomographically guided biopsy of the spine is recommended as a procedure of choice, especially in cervical and thoracic lesions. Computed tomography is superior to fluoroscopy when dealing with small, deep-seated lesions especially in the cervical and thoracic regions and with lesions picked ...
Background: Cervical pedicle screw insertion is a technically demanding procedure that carries the risk of catastrophic damage to surrounding neurovascular structures. Here, we analyzed computed tomography (CT)-based three-dimensional cervical spine pedicle geometry to determine the level and sex-specific ...
Computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle biopsy is a common diagnostic procedure that is associated with various complications including pneumothorax, parenchymal hemorrhage, and hemoptysis. A systemic air embolism is a very rare ... K Min,Shin,Jae-Kwang,... - 《Journal of Medical Case Reports...
The number of computed tomography (CT) examinations performed has been on the rise for decades [1,2,3]. Increases in clinical application are related to technical developments, wider availability, and physician and patient demands [1,2]. CT is at the forefront of imaging for multiple purposes...
The anatomic boundaries of the greater sciatic foramen and the relation of the sacral plexus and sciatic nerve to the structures within are identified and described on axial computed tomography (CT). The piriform muscle, which passes through the center of the greater sciatic foramen, is a ...
The role of computed tomography (CT) in the evaluation of abdominal pain is well established. However, concern exists in regard to procedure-related radiation levels, contrast-medium toxicity and costs. We sought to determine whether the use of abdominal CT caused major changes in the management ...
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is a specialized form of chest CT. All the technical principles that govern the acquisition and reconstruction of chest CT also apply to cardiac CT. However, the nature of cardiac anatomy and function requires that the system image small, complex structural elements...
Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most commonly used clinical imaging modalities. There have recently been many reports of novel contrast agents for CT imaging. In particular, the development of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) as CT contrast agents is a topic of intense interest. AuNP have fav...
