Initials about Radiology

 Radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases.

Radiology is a field of medicine that uses imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds to diagnose and treat diseases. Radiologists are medical doctors who specialize in interpreting these images to help diagnose and treat patients. They work closely with other doctors and healthcare professionals to provide the best care possible.

Radiology is a rapidly evolving field that has advanced significantly in recent years. With the help of advanced imaging techniques, radiologists can now detect diseases and injuries earlier and more accurately than ever before. This has led to improved patient outcomes and a better understanding of the human body. Radiologists use a variety of imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases, including X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds. They work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide the best possible care to their patients.

Ultrasound:-

Ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. It is non-invasive and does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safe and effective tool for diagnosing and monitoring a variety of medical conditions. Ultrasound is commonly used to monitor the health of a developing fetus during pregnancy, as well as to diagnose conditions such as gallstones, kidney stones, and liver disease. It is also used to guide medical procedures such as biopsies and needle aspirations.

KUB Ultrasound

Image
Ultrasound of the Kidneys In medicine, KUB refers to a diagnostic medical imaging technique of the abdomen and stands for Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder, although in fact the Ureters only show if they are abnormally distended.  A KUB ultrasound is an examination requested by your doctor to evaluate the urinary tract (which includes the kidneys, ureters, and urinary bladder). In the male patient, the prostate gland is also scanned. A KUB Ultrasound may be requested: 1/To look for changes in the bladder wall  2/To look for changes in the kidney size or structure 3/To look for stones in the urinary tract  4/To evaluate reasons why you have recurrent kidney infection 5/To identify the cause of renal or pelvic pain  KUB Ultrasound:- The urinary bladder can only be properly assessed when full or distended, as bladder volume measurements are taken whilst the bladder is full.   The bladder and both kidneys are also scanned after the bladder has been emptied to evaluate the volume of urine ret

Deep vein thrombosis

 Deep vein thrombosis  DVT stands for Deep Vein Thrombosis. It is a medical condition where a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins in the body, usually in the leg. This can cause pain and swelling in the affected area, and if left untreated, can lead to more serious health problems. In DVT, a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins in the body, usually in the leg. This can cause pain and swelling in the affected area. If the blood clot breaks off and travels through the bloodstream, it can cause a life-threatening condition called a pulmonary embolism, which occurs when the clot gets lodged in the lungs. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms of DVT. Role of radiology in DVT Radiology plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of DVT. Imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans can be used to detect blood clots and assess the severity of the condition. These imaging techniques can also be used to monitor the eff

ROLE OF CT IN EVALUATION OF ABDOMINAL MASSES

 MAIN ROLE OF CT:- An abdominal CT scan makes detailed pictures of the structures inside your belly very quickly. This test may be used to look for: Cause of blood in the urine. Cause of abdominal pain or swelling. Palpable abnormalities, such as abdominal mass or organomegaly. Both US and CT are excellent techniques for confirming or excluding the presence of an abdominal mass, with sensitivity and specificity higher than 95%. The accuracy of US in determining the organ of origin is estimated at between 88% and 91%.Mainly CT scan are 100 percent accurately in evaluation of abdominal masses. For intra-abdominal masses, contrast-enhanced CT and ultrasound examination have demonstrated accuracy. For abdominal wall masses, which may arise from muscle, subcutaneous tissue, or connective tissue, MRI, CT, and ultrasound all provide diagnostic value. An abdominal CT scan uses a special X-ray machine to take pictures of the liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, stomach, intestines, pancreas, and ad
