Radiologic Examinations Using Contrast Media. Certain materials or gases can be injected into veins arteries lymphatics or hollow cavities to obtain contrast with the surrounding tissues.A contrast medium is a radiopaque substance which obstructs the passage of x rays so that the structures containing it appear white on the x ray film thus delineating abnormal pouches or

An early angiographic study showed changes in the arterioleglomerulus unit with aging.24 In the arterioles hyaline deposition within the vessels walls leads to obliteration of the lumen and is associated with sclerotic glomeruli primarily in the cortex.22 24 31 Two structural types associated with the afferent and efferent arterioles have been
A chest x ray in the absence of history or physical examination findings suggestive of cardiopulmonary disease is unlikely to add any useful information and is an unnecessary screening test. In the presence of positive historical or physical evidence however a chest x ray can serve as a valuable basis for postoperative comparison.

The full X ray power of 60 kW can be applied for a 20 s spiral providing considerable dose reserves even for adipose patients. As an example in the Thorax Combi protocol 120 kV 45 mAs 0.5 s rot 16 x 1.5 mm pitch 0.75 a scan range of 150 mm can be covered in 5.17 s and dose can be increased up to 200 mAs without reduction of the table feed.
Oct 25 2013 The purpose of this study is to evaluate the radiation dose in patients undergoing liver angiographic procedure and verify the usefulness of different dose measurements to prevent deterministic effects. Gafchromic film MicroMOSFET data and DIAMENTOR device of the X ray system were used to characterize the examined interventional radiology IR

Objective Our goal was to demonstrate the spectrum of neuroradiologic CT MR and angiographic findings in craniocervical arterial dissection CAD related to exercise or sporting activities and compare the diagnostic utility of CT MRI and MR angiography MRA . Materials and methods The neuroradiologic examinations of 11 patients with CAD was performed CT

When more than one artery is studied from the same vascular family after a basic examination another CPT code 75774 is used for supervision and interpretation. This is an add on code and can be coded many times.

With the use of 3D MRA roadmap the overall amount of contrast medium used was decreased to only 30 mL and x ray dose was decreased to 1094 mGy as compared with 50 to 90 mL contrast medium and 1300 to 2100 mGy x ray dose used on average for a typical intracranial stenting procedure in the absence of the MRA roadmap guidance .

Feb 19 2010 The use of computer aided automatic edge detection results in more exact and reproducible results than visual estimates. 19 20 QCA is still based on two dimensional X ray images of the three dimensional contrast filled vessel lumen. Therefore the current standard quantitative methods focus on the projection of the vessel.

Thin section dynamic CT also precludes the need for staging with angiography 67 .
A CT system for scanning a patient is disclosed. In at least one embodiment the system includes a tube/detector system which can be set by a control device in respect of tube voltage and/or dose power a patient couch which can be displaced in a controlled fashion at least in the direction of a system axis and a computer system which can control the CT system.
Original x ray equipment used during invasive catheter ization procedures delivered x ray energy in a continuous dose. However most modern x ray equipment will deliver x ray energy for fluoroscopy and CINE in pulses that can be adjusted from 30 15 10 and 7.5 frames per second FPS . Reducing the rate at which the x ray pulse is generated par

The use of cardiac PET and in particular of quantitative myocardial perfusion PET has been growing during the last years because scanners are becoming widely available and because several studies have convincingly demonstrated the advantages of this imaging approach. Therefore there is a need of determining the procedural modalities for performing high quality
