Abstract:
The case illustrates how to approach imaging in pregnancy. Some basic principles of radiation exposure are reviewed. The effects of radiation are divided into either deterministic, dose-related, or stochastic, where exposure determines the probability of an outcome. Deterministic effects have a threshold below which the effect does not occur. The threshold may be small and may vary from person to person; whereas stochastic effects occur by chance and may occur without a threshold level. Cancer caused by radiation is an example of a stochastic effect. The overall safety of magnetic resonance imaging is discussed. Determining which imaging modality to order depends on the acuity of the situation and the information needed to know in order to adequately treat the mother.

Abstract:
Emerging breast imaging technologies may provide improved care across the entire breast cancer care continuum; however, assessment of these technologies and their added value will require further development and research. Contrast-enhanced mammography was first described in 1985, utilizing digital subtraction angiography of the breast. Molecular techniques in breast imaging are expanding as advances in technology allow for decreased radiotracer dose and reveal high sensitivity for the detection of breast cancers. Molecular breast imaging (MBI) tools may have a role as we develop personalized breast imaging protocols based on risk. This chapter, appearing in the section on breast cancer overview, describes the new emerging technologies in breast imaging, including contrast-enhanced spectral mammography and molecular breast imaging.

This summary outlines the study methodology and design, major results, limitations and criticisms, related studies and additional information, and clinical implications. Low-dose CT was shown not to be inferior to standard-dose CT with respect to negative appendectomy rates among young adults presenting with suspected appendicitis. If used as the first-line imaging study in a common indication for CT, potential radiation-induced cancer risks can be reduced among this radiosensitive patient population. In addition to outlining the most salient features of the study, a clinical vignette and imaging example are included in order to provide relevant clinical context.

Full text
Abstract:
Abdominal evaluation of the critically-ill patient is challenging. The patient may have a vague presentation, sometimes with a poor clinical history, few localizing signs, multiple co-morbidities and multi-organ involvement. Often the patient will require resuscitation prior to diagnostic work-up, and support devices such as mechanical ventilators and haemofilters may hamper assessment. Such unreliability of clinical indicators and the myriad of abdominal pathologies in a critically-ill patient may lead to diagnostic uncertainty with consequent delays in treatment. These challenges make imaging one of the most critical steps in the management of such patients. The optimal imaging pathway should be sensitive, specific, and minimize delay in therapy, but should also account for the patient’s clinical state and overall radiation dose. The modalities that have a role in abdominal evaluation of the critically ill are covered in this chapter.

Full text
Abstract:
The core principle of hybrid imaging is based on the fact that it provides information beyond that achievable with either data set alone. This is attained through the combination and fusion of two datasets by which both modalities synergistically contribute to image information. Hybrid imaging is, thus, more powerful than the sum of its parts, yielding improved sensitivity and specificity. While datasets for integration may be obtained by a variety of imaging modalities, its merits are intuitively best exploited when combining anatomical and functional imaging, particularly in the setting of evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) as this combination allows a comprehensive assessment with regard to presence or absence of coronary atherosclerosis, the extent and severity of coronary plaques, and the haemodynamic relevance of stenosis. In clinical practice, the combination of CT coronary angiography (CCTA) with myocardial perfusion studies obtained by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and by positron emission tomography (PET) has been well established. Recent literature also reports on the feasibility of combining CCTA with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Finally, recent advances in CCTA and SPECT imaging have led to a substantial reduction of radiation exposure, now allowing for comprehensive morphological and functional diagnostic work-up by cardiac hybrid SPECT/CCTA imaging at low radiation dose exposures ranging below 5 mSv.

Full text
Abstract:
The computed tomography (CT) medical examination is the highest single source of radiation to the general public in the developed world. Its use is rapidly growing, as is its technical complexity. The primary dosimetry formalism is based on the computed tomography dose index (CTDI), which can be measured in air or in standard phantoms using a calibrated pencil ionization chamber with adaptations for wide beam scanners. Displayed dose parameters can be used with caution to estimate patient organ doses, effective dose, and risk, using a variety of models and software. An understanding of automatic exposure control and the influence of patient size is essential when interpreting dosimetry results. CT examination protocols require optimisation, including the appropriate use of newly available dose reduction features. Particular consideration needs to be given to paediatric CT and to specialist applications such as radiotherapy planning, cardiac CT and volume imaging.

Abstract:
One of the fundamental quests of nuclear cardiology is the search for elements with appropriate chemical properties for use in radiopharmaceuticals, which have radioactive isotopes that produce photons well suited for imaging, and deliver only a small radiation dose to the patient. This requires that that the emission of any radiation that does not contribute to the image be kept to a minimum and that the isotope remains radioactive only for a short period of time. Understanding the emission of radiation from atoms requires an understanding of atomic and nuclear structure and forces.

Full text
Abstract:
Interactions of ionizing radiations with matter are fundamental to the practice of radiation protection. They determine the magnitude and distribution of doses in tissues, the performance of detectors and imaging devices, and the attenuating properties of shielding materials. This chapter describes briefly the processes of radioactive decay and the properties of the various particles emitted, and then goes on to consider the interactions of radiation with matter. Electron interactions with metals result in bremsstrahlung and characteristic X-rays that form the basis of X-ray production. The interaction mechanisms of X-rays with tissue, particularly the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering, are inherent in the process of radiology image formation. Understanding the physics behind X-ray interactions so that scattered radiation can be taken into account is crucial in designing methods for accurately measuring radiation dose parameters. The final section deals with the dose related variables involved in measurement of radiation fields.

Abstract:
This chapter on “Imaging” examines the relative advantages and disadvantages of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. It compares the modalities to each other and to gross neuropathology. For several decades, neurologists have been able to view cross-sectional images of living patients. Analogous to gross neuropathology, cross-sectional imaging displays the brain as an entire organ but does not demonstrate microscopic tissue or cellular pathology. By allowing practitioners to view sections of brain and spinal cord in vivo, imaging has improved neurologic practice and facilitated clinical research. This chapter deals with imaging topics that are important to the neurologist. The timing of scans, the effects of gravity, and the importance of plane of section are considered. Imaging is compared to gross neuropathology, and MRI is compared to CT.

Abstract:
Nuclear cardiology is generally considered a clinical phenomenon of the past four decades. However, the field has its roots in earlier times. This chapter focuses on these historical roots as they have evolved into the present era. The initial application of radioisotopes to cardiac studies occurred in the mid-1920s. Ventricular function was evaluated in the 1960s and 1970s by first pass and equilibrium techniques. Myocardial stress perfusion imaging was first performed using potassium-43 and exercise in 1973. Stress imaging rapidly evolved thereafter with new tracers (thallium-201 and technetium-labeled agents) and from planar to SPECT approaches. Perfusion imaging rapidly proved its value diagnostically and in assessing prognosis. Infarct imaging reached its peak use in the 1970s but is now no longer employed. Advances in hybrid imaging, combining CT with radionuclide imaging has recently allowed attenuation correction as well as providing the combination of anatomic and physiologic data. PET myocardial perfusion studies have recently become a standard approach for evaluating perfusion, absolute coronary blood flow and coronary reserve. PET FDG studies of cardiac sarcoidosis have recently been established as a new approach for defining myocardial inflammation. New SPECT systems provide high sensitivity, high resolution studies, allowing for radiation dose reduction and high quality imaging studies.

Full text
Abstract:
Radiation considerations are an integral part of the practice of nuclear cardiac imaging. Concern regarding radiation has increased in recent years, reflected in statements by many professional societies, and likely attributable both to rapid growth in use of nuclear cardiology as well as high doses received by some nuclear cardiology patients. The fundamental principles of medical radiological protection are justification (ensuring that the right test is performed for the right patient at the right time), optimization (ensuring that the test is performed in the right manner), and dose limitation, which while applicable to healthcare workers is not operative regarding patients. Three "As" facilitate and serve as an organizing principle for justification: awareness, appropriateness, and audit. Awareness incorporates knowledge of the benefits and risks of testing involving radiation and effective communication of these to the patient. Appropriateness in nuclear cardiology can be assessed using the American College of Cardiology's appropriateness criteria. Methods that have been demonstrated to improve appropriateness include using a collaborative learning model, a point-of-order decision support tool, and a multifaceted intervention including threatened loss of insurance coverage. A variety of strategies should be considered for optimization to ensure patient-centered imaging. These including strategic selection of both the protocol, e.g. selecting a stress-first protocol and performing stress-only imaging in patients without a high pre-test probability of abnormal findings on stress imaging, or using PET, and also the administered activity, e.g. by using weight-based dosing and/or software- or hardware-based advances in camera technology. Special considerations are required for pregnant, nursing, and pediatric patients.

Full text
Abstract:
Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare disorder presenting with a capillary malformation, better known as a port-wine birthmark, on the upper face, glaucoma, and a leptomeningeal angioma. Most children develop seizures and strokes, with variable degrees of neurodevelopmental impairments including hemiparesis, visual field deficits, cognitive deficits, epilepsy, and migraines. In 2013, a somatic activating mutation in GNAQ was identified in the capillary malformations and leptomeningeal angiomas of Sturge-Weber patients. In the diagnosis of Sturge-Weber syndrome, contrast-enhanced imaging is essential to the diagnosis of brain involvement. Functional imaging has demonstrated impaired venous drainage and a role for seizures in exacerbating perfusion deficits. Aggressive seizure management is fundamental to treatment. Some data supports the use of low-dose aspirin to reduce the occurrence of strokelike episodes and seizures.

Full text
Abstract:
Protocols for SPECT MPI have evolved over the last 40-years based on the following factors: available radiotracers and gamma camera imaging systems, alternative methods of stress, the needs and demands of patients and referring physicians, the need for radiation dose reduction and optimization of laboratory efficiency. Initially studies were performed using dynamic exercise planar multi-day Thallium-201 (Tl-201) studies. Pharmacologic stress agents were not available and novel methods of stress included swallowed esophageal pacing leads, cold presser limb emersion, direct atrial pacing, crushed dipyridamole tablets and even the use of intravenous ergonovine maleate. Eventually intravenous dobutamine, dipyridamole, adenosine and regadenoson became available to allow reliable and safe pharmacologic stress for patients unable to exercise. Tomographic SPECT camera systems replaced planar units and Tc-99m agents offered better imaging characteristics over Tl-201. These gamma camera systems, radiopharmaceutical agents and pharmacologic stress agents were all available by the mid-1990s and still represent the majority of MPI being performed today.

Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides excellent anatomic detail and soft tissue contrast for the evaluation of patients with renal disease. MRI needs longer scan time than computed tomography (CT); however, no radiation is involved. Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are used to help provide additional image contrast during MRI. MRI is indicated for characterization of renal mass, staging of malignant renal neoplasms, and determination of vena cava involvement by the renal tumour. Magnetic resonance (MR) angiography is widely accepted as a non-invasive imaging work-up of renal artery stenosis. MR urography is an alternative to CT urography to assess the upper urinary tract but does not identify urinary calculi. Diffusion-weighted imaging is a functional MR technique being used to characterize parenchymal renal disease and renal tumours. Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a rare but debilitating and potentially life-threatening condition which has been linked to exposure of GBCAs in patients with severe renal insufficiency. The risk versus benefit must be assessed before proceeding.
