Basic physics of multidetector computed tomography ( CT Scan) - how ct scan works, different generations of ct, how image is generated and displayed and image artifacts related to CT Scan.
Application of dect in emergency radiology including the application in diagnosis of renal calculi, bone marrow edema, gout , abdominopelvic imaging,detection of pulmonary embolism and in cardiac imaging.
Physicians have used palpation to detect differences in tissue stiffness as an aid to diagnosis based on the fact that the mechanical properties of tissues are often dramatically affected by the presence of disease processes such as cancer, inflammation, and fibrosis. Elastography depends on the same differences in mechanical properties between healthy and abnormal tissues using imaging to detect these differences at depths not reachable by manual palpation and presents data in color-coded display, can be performed with ultrasound, using manual pressure or low frequency sonic waves, or by MR Elastography imaging.
this power-point slide presentation includes lots of information like how MRI coil works. what is shimming, magnet, fringe, and design of mri coil and also magnet. this will help a lot for radiologist and technician radiographers.. thanks.

MRI artifacts remains a big challenge to get a diagnostic image. This represents a practical comprehensive approach to understand MRI artifacts & how to get rid of.
The Indian Dental Academy is the Leader in continuing dental education , training dentists in all aspects of dentistry and
offering a wide range of dental certified courses in different formats.
Ultrasound is used for many reasons, including to:
View the uterus and ovaries during pregnancy and monitor the developing baby's health
Diagnose gallbladder disease
Evaluate blood flow
Guide a needle for biopsy or tumor treatment
Examine a breast lump
Check the thyroid gland
Find genital and prostate problems
Assess joint inflammation (synovitis)
Evaluate metabolic bone disease
Before your ultrasound begins, you may be asked to do the following:
Remove any jewelry from the area being examined.
Remove or reposition some or all of your clothing.
Change into a gown.
You'll be asked to lie on an examination table.
During the procedure
Gel is applied to your skin over the area being examined. It helps prevent air pockets, which can block the sound waves that create the images. This safe, water-based gel is easy to remove from skin and, if needed, clothing.
A trained technician (sonographer) presses a small, hand-held device (transducer) against the area being studied and moves it as needed to capture the images. The transducer sends sound waves into your body, collects the ones that bounce back and sends them to a computer, which creates the images.
Sometimes, ultrasounds are done inside your body. In this case, the transducer is attached to a probe that's inserted into a natural opening in your body. Examples include:
Transesophageal echocardiogram. A transducer, inserted into the esophagus, obtains heart images. It's usually done while under sedation.
Transrectal ultrasound. This test creates images of the prostate by placing a special transducer into the rectum.
Transvaginal ultrasound. A special transducer is gently inserted into the vagina to look at the uterus and ovaries.
Ultrasound is usually painless. However, you may experience mild discomfort as the sonographer guides the transducer over your body, especially if you're required to have a full bladder, or inserts it into your body.
A typical ultrasound exam takes from 30 minutes to an hour.
Results
When your exam is complete, a doctor trained to interpret imaging studies (radiologist) analyzes the images and sends a report to your doctor. Your doctor will share the results with you.
You should be able to return to normal activities immediately after an ultrasound.
CT scan and MRI are the techniques for body imaging. Computed Tomography or Computerized Axial Tomography is commonly referred to as a CT scan.
C- computed (Use of computer) and T- tomography (Greek word “Tomos” means “slice” and “Grapho” means “ To write”
The first commercial CT scanner was invented by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield in United Kingdom.
It is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce images of the inside of the body. It shows detailed images of any part of the body including the bones, muscles, fat, organs and blood vessels.
CT scans may be performed to help diagnose tumors, investigate internal bleeding, or check for other internal injuries or damage.

CT scans may be performed to help diagnose tumors, investigate internal bleeding, or check for other internal injuries or damage. MRI stands for Magentic Resonance Imaging which is a non-invasive medical imaging test that produces detailed images of almost every internal structure in the human body, including the organs, bones, muscles and blood vessels.
MRI scanners create images of the body using a large magnet and radio waves.
No ionizing radiation is produced during an MRI exam, unlike X-rays. These images give your physician important information in diagnosing your medical condition and planning a course of treatment.
Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the first magnetic resonance scanning machine performed the first full-body scan of a human being in 1977.
The Nobel Prize was awarded to the American chemist, Paul Lauterbur, and the British physicist, Peter Mansfield, for developing a method to represent the information gathered by a scanner as an image. This is fundamental for the way the technology is used today.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. What is an artifact???
An Artifact is an structure or appearance
that is not normally present on the radiograph and
is produced by artificial means.
Artifacts may degrade the image quality
and leads to misdiagnosis.
3. Sources of artifacts
Patient related
Hardware problems
Software problems
Contrast induced
5. Beam hardening artifacts
It occurs when the average energy of the x
ray beam passing through the patient
increases.
The beam is hardened.
High energy photons are attenuated less by
the tissue.
This artifact is also called CUPPING
artifact.
6.
7.
8. Remedy
○ Increase the KVp
○Decrease the slice thickness
○ Dilute the contrast medium.
9. Edge gradient effect
The edge gradient effect results in shading arising
from irregularly shaped objects that have
difference in density.
It results when barium and air lie adjacent to each
other in stomach.
Remedy
Decrease the slice thickness
10.
11. Low-attenuating artifact from an air
bubble in contrast material. Axial source
image shows an air bubble in the main
pulmonary artery (arrow).
12. Streak artifact
It occurs when the scan is done with
the barium contrast or
High osmolar contrast medium.
It appears in the image like streaks of
lines obscuring the organ of interest.
13. This artifact can be reduced by
○Using low osmolar contrast medium.
○Avoid scans if barium studies are
done a week before.
○Using a low HU value oral contrast
such as volumen or water in place of
barium suspension.
14. Saline flush:
○ Saline flush is used in CT and MRI to
reduce the concentration of contrast
medium.
○ Also reduce the streak artifact.
15.
16.
17. Aortic root artifact
The contrast material in the brachio cephalic
vein or SVC associated with cardiac motion
transmitted to these veins.
It produces artifacts that project over the
ascending aorta and supra aortic arch
branches.
18. In addition motion in the free wall of the
left ventricle may produce artifacts that
project over the descending thoracic
aorta.
This artifact sometimes resembles a aortic
dissection.
19. Remedy
Decrease the slice thickness
Decrease the flow rate of contrast
medium.
20.
21.
22. When the contrast is used, CT scans are usually
performed with the scan direction
commensurate with the direction of contrast
material bolus propagation, one notable
exception is caudocranial scanning at
pulmonary CT angiography.
A benefit of caudocranial scanning is that
artifact from dense contrast medium flowing in
the superior vena cava is minimized when
scanning later after the contrast medium has
been flushed from the veins
23. A similar benefit in artifact reduction was
observed at carotid artery CT angiography
performed with use of a craniocaudal scan
direction.
when the scan direction is opposite to the flow
of contrast medium for a long scan, contrast
material injection duration may need to be
increased to ensure adequate enhancement of
the upstream structures.
24. In MRI
○Susceptibility artifacts
○Dark rim artifact
25. Susceptibility artifact
It occurs when high concentration of Ferro
magnetic contrast agent is used.
If the contrast is injected excessively
without dilution.
It resembles the metallic susceptibility
artifact.
This artifact can be reduced by diluting the
contrast medium.
26. In contrast enhanced MR angiography
contrast agents induce susceptibility
artifacts.
This can be avoided by acquiring the full k
space; partial echo sampling can be avoided
or reduced.
28. Dark rim artifact
In dynamic contrast enhanced MR imaging,
dark rim artifact appears when gadolinium
contrast bolus appears in the left ventricle.
It appears like a signal loss in the rim of pixels
in the subendocardium at the boundary between
the myocardium and LV blood.
It occurs most frequently in images acquired
with the Steady State Free Precession (SSFP)
pulse sequence
