As an alternative method to the 100 mm long ionization chamber, which is normally used to measure the CT dose index (CTDI), some studies use smaller semiconductor photodetectors to measure the single ...

Introduction: Sagittal balance was measured by Hardacker`s et al. using the occipital method COBB C1-C2, C2-C3, C3-C4, C4-C5, C5-C6, C6-C7 in a sample of asymptomatic patients without neck and ...

Karla Flores was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. An misplaced MRI found a second, nearly inoperable, tumor on her spine.

What are the alternatives to a CT scan? Possible alternatives may include routine X-rays, ultrasound images or MRIs. For certain spine conditions, low-radiation EOS imaging may also be an option. Your ...

For patients who cannot undergo an MRI, a CT myelogram is a good alternative, but this requires an injection of contrast material (dye) into the spinal canal to improve visualization. To confirm the ...

Paresis, ataxia, and sphincter dysfunction are common. On T2-weighted MRI, a longitudinally extensive hyperintense lesion is typically seen, primarily involving the cervical and thoracic spine, ...

The imaging quality of the device can be on par with an X-ray or CT scan, but instead of a single snapshot, we can monitor how the lungs and heart behave over time, which is far more informative ...

The correlation between spinal cord lesions and MS disability is weak, even when observed at a higher resolution. A current drawback in the collection of SC magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans is ...

We live in an age where medical technology can uncover what the naked eye can’t, and CT scans are a major part of that advancement. But with growing chatter around radiation exposure and ...

Computed Tomography scans are vital for diagnosis. Recent studies indicate a potential link between CT scans and increased cancer risk. In the United States, millions undergo CT scans annually.

TAMPA (BLOOM) – Frankie Maldonado, the Director of Operations for Life Guard Imaging joins Gayle Guyardo, the host of Bloom, to share more about their innovative CT scan and how it compares to a ...
