This chapter improves interpretation of CT scans by explaining first principles of CT scanning. The ideal type of CT scan for a patient varies with indication. Radiation safety principles must be considered, especially in recurring conditions such as urolithiasis and in tumor surveillance and follow ...
Interpretation of Results A radiologist interprets the images obtained from an abdominal CT scan. The radiologist analyzes the cross-sectional images for abnormalities and provides a report to the referring physician, who discusses the results with the patient. Findings can range from normal anatomical...
Owing to its rarity, the CT findings of female pelvic TB have not been fully described and are easy to be misdiagnosed as advanced ovarian malignancy (AOM) or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) without pathological findings. The interpretation of CT findings and differentiation from AOM, which ...
If the interpretation of MRI cartilage remains difficult arthro-CT images are easy to obtain. Arthro-CT is much preferable to simple arthrography. These two steps are in fact complementary: the global study of the joint is made with arthrography while the accurate assessment of cartilage is ...
Cranial CT: Normal Findings The scan usually begins at the base of the skull and continues upward. Since the hard copies are oriented such that the sections are viewed from caudal, all structures appear as if they were left/right reversed (see p. 14). Th
findings (paresis, convulsions, vomiting, unequal pupil size, GCS, cardiac arrest, and vital signs) and interventions (hypertonic saline, haemostatic agents, and airway management). Data on admission to our ED included time of arrival, time of CT scan, medical specialties present in the ED, ...
However, researchers questioned the validity of the earlier indirect estimates based on uncertain risk projections for radiation [16], whereas others declared that the findings of recent CT scan studies need to be interpreted with caution, due to the possibility of reverse causation [17]. Therefore...
Misleading interpretation of distended post-op bowel images in Helical CT scan 来自 NCBI 喜欢 0 阅读量: 44 作者:E Kailidou,EG Pavlakis,V Katsiva,E Avgerinos,D Filippou 摘要: Differential diagnosis of distended post-op colon can be misleading when based solely to imaging findings. A case ...
Objective: The association was studied of intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) on S-100B and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). The relationship was explored between biomarkers, ICP, CPP, CT-scan classifications and the clinical out...
By employing this 2.5D detection approach, the system can quickly analyze the CT scan while preserving robustness to reliably distinguish nodules from lung vessels and other structures. Overview of the proposed lung nodule detection system. To evaluate the performance...
