Download or read book Computed Tomography of the Gastrointestinal Tract written by Morton A. Meyers, MD, FACR, FACG and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed as a comprehensive, useful, up-to-date presenta tion of computed tomography (CT) of the major disease states involving the gastrointestinal tract, mesentery and peritoneal cavity. Rather than representing one institution's sole experience, the coverage reflects masterful contributions from international centers with the most exten sive experience. Plain £lm identification of intraperitoneal structures is generally lim ited to those aspects outlined by contrasting extraperitoneal fat or naturally occurring intraluminal gas. Routine contrast studies of the intestinal tract permit visualization of its internal mucosal contour alone. An outstanding limitation has been the inability to accurately evaluate the thickness of the bowel wall. In these circumstances, only indirect signs are relied upon for the radiologic diagnosis of mural or serosal disease. Approaches to visualize the bowel wall and perito neal reflections by the introduction of intraperitoneal contrast medium have been of only limited success (1-3). Computed tomography, by virtue of its superior density discrimination and excellent spatial resolu tion, permits exquisite imaging of the gastrointestinal tract, mesenter ies and peritoneal cavity. In the presentation of normal and pathologic anatomy and the discus sion of clinical efficacy, efforts have been made to keep the text as precise as possible. In the elaboration of CT's capability to detect and to determine the extent of disease, particularly as the findings relate to staging, insights and responsible conclusions are drawn for the accuracy, relia bility, limitations and sources of error for the study.

Download or read book Spectral Photon Counting Computed Tomography written by Katsuyuki Taguchi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spectral, Photon Counting Computed Tomography is a comprehensive cover of the latest developments in the most prevalent imaging modality (x-ray computed tomography (CT)) in its latest incarnation: Spectral, Dual-Energy, and Photon Counting CT. Disadvantages of the conventional single-energy technique used by CT technology are that different materials cannot be distinguished and that the noise is larger. To address these problems, a novel spectral CT concept has been proposed. Spectral Dual-Energy CT (DE-CT) acquires two sets of spectral data, and Spectral Photon Counting CT (PC-CT) detects energy of x-ray photons to reveal additional material information of objects by using novel energy-sensitive, photon-counting detectors. The K-edge imaging may be a gateway for functional or molecular CT. The book covers detectors and electronics, image reconstruction methods, image quality assessments, a simulation tool, nanoparticle contrast agents, and clinical applications for spectral CT.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sinee the publieation of the First Edition of Dynamie Radiology of the Abdomen: Normal and Pathologie Anatomy six years ago, literally hundreds ofseientifie articles in the literature have attested to its basic insights in the understanding and clinieal diagnosis ofa speetrum ofintraabdominal diseases. Based on radiologie correlations with anatomieand pathologie features, the observations have proven readily applieable and highly accurate by ultrasonography and particularly com puted tomography (CT) . This edition is designed to provide a eomprehensiveupdateofthese prineiples and their clinieal applieations, to include not only plain films and eonventional contrast studies, but also ultrasonography and CT. To aeeomplish these ends, some seetions have been eompletely rewritten and new seetions and ehapters have been added. Over 503 illustrations have been added, many of them CT images. The atlas of anatomie cross-sections in color has been retained, and these as weIl as all CT images are now oriented aeeording to the eonvention generally adopted shortly after the First Edition was published, i. e., as if viewed from below with the subjects's right to the viewer's left. While a few of the CT illustrations are not of the highest quality, the reader will understand that they havebeen earefullyseleeted for the particularabnormality they demonstrate. The rcferenees have been updated to eite not only classie articles, but seleetions from the literature through 1981. Partieular appreeiation is expressed to the following for their cooperation: james L. Clements, jr., M.D., jaek Farman, M.D., Gary Ghahremani, M.D.

Download or read book Investigating the Characterization and Differentiation of Disease on CT Scan written by Rochita Venkata Ramanan and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this case study, we demonstrate in a step-by-step fashion how we overcame the imaging diagnostic dilemma of differentiating peritoneal tuberculosis from carcinomatosis by assessing the usefulness of a new sign on computed tomography scan (CT) called the CT Omental rim sign that we observed. We used a blinded prospective observational cohort study to assess the accuracy of the sign. A detailed outline of how to design such a study has been demonstrated. The difficulties that we encountered at maintaining the quality of the CT consistently for every patient, data collection, and data analysis have been discussed. Examples of tables for comparison of data have been shown. This case study helps a researcher to perform successfully an observational cohort study in the field of radiology and alerts them to pitfalls and mistakes and how to overcome them.
