CT SCAN
Computed tomography scaning
uses X-rays and a computer to create
detailed images of the inside of the
body.
used to diagnose and monitor a different
health conditions, including brain tumours,
certain bone conditions, and injuries to
internal organs such as the kidneys, liver
or spleen. They're also now being used to
look at the heart.
CT Scan Diagnosis
Blood Can Be Very Bad
Blood :
Acute : hyperdense (bright white)
Sub acute (4 days 2 weeks :
isodense, begin at periphery & move
centrally
>2-3 weeks : darker than brain
Intraparenchymal/
Intracerebral
Hemorrhage (IPH / ICH)
Intraventricular
hemorrhage (IVH)
C : Cisterne
CSF collection surrounding the brain
B : Brain
Check : simetry, grey-white differentiation,
shift
Tumour / Abses
Ischemic infarcation
V : Ventricle
Compression/Shift
hydrocephalus
B : Bone
Skull fracture : note of soft tissue sweling,
intracranial air
Clinical reasoning
Abnormality found in Head / brain CT scan
CNS disorder UMN dysfunction :
hemiplegia, aphasia, amnesia, etc
UMN dysfunction depend on severity &
location of abnormality prognosis
cervical
thoracal
lumbal
B : vertebral body;
L ; laminae;
SC : spinal canal ;
SP : spinous process
NR : nerve root
Ps : psoas muscle
Pa : paraspinal muscle
D : disc
SC : spinal canal ;
SP : spinous process
NR : nerve root
Ps : psoas muscle
Pa : paraspinal muscle
S : superior art. process
I : inferior art. process
F : facet joint

Advantages of MRI
Harmless to the patient - no radiation is involved
(unlike computed tomography (CT) scanning
and conventional radiology).
Excellent detail makes it similar, and even
superior to, CT scanning in some situations.
MRI contrast agent used is normally gadolinium
which is less allergenic than iodine-based
contrast agents used in CT scanning.
Disadvantages of MRI
Extreme precautions must be taken to keep metallic
objects out of the room where the machine is operating
People with pacemakers can't safely be scanned
Some people suffer from claustrophobia, and find the
confinement discomforting
The machine makes a very loud continuous hammering
noise when operating
Some people are too big to fit inside the magnet
MRI scans require patients to hold very still for long
periods of time ... up to 90 minutes or more
MRI systems are expensive to buy and run so are
currently beyond most DGHs
