Mammography how safe & effective screening tool Gopa Ghosh
Mammography is an important screening and early detection tool for breast cancer. It can detect benign and precancerous lesions as well as early-stage invasive cancers. While mammography is recommended annually starting at age 40 by some organizations, others recommend starting biennial screening between ages 50-74 due to concerns about overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. Mammography involves compressing the breast between plates and taking x-ray images from different angles to detect lumps, calcifications, and other abnormalities. Digital mammography now provides improved image quality compared to film mammography. Computer-aided detection can help radiologists identify areas of concern but also increases false positives.
Fluoroscopy is an imaging tool that allows physicians to see various body systems in motion using a continuous stream of x-ray images displayed at approximately 25-30 images per second. It is used in a variety of procedures like orthopedic surgery, catheter insertion, barium x-rays, and blood flow studies. While there are risks of radiation exposure like cancer and burns, the benefit of fluoroscopy outweighs these minute risks when a patient requires the procedure. Precise steps are followed to perform the procedure safely.

The new Siemens SOMATOM Force CT scanner, installed at the University Medical Center Mannheim in Germany, enables more individualized patient diagnostics and contributions to personalized medicine. It is twice as fast as previous Dual Source CT systems and allows for improved image quality. Radiologists believe the SOMATOM Force opens possibilities for value-based medicine by targeting the clinical outcomes of medical procedures and patient recovery. The consistency of quantitative data produced by the high-end CT system cannot be matched by other imaging modalities, making CT an accepted imaging biomarker.
This document summarizes experiences using dual energy CT (DECT) from experts in Germany, the Netherlands, and Japan. DECT provides additional clinical information compared to conventional CT. Experts in Munich are researching using single source DECT to quantify iodine uptake in lesions. Experts in Rotterdam are using dual source DECT in pediatric patients to assess heart and lung abnormalities without sedation. Experts in Japan find DECT useful for distinguishing thyroid cartilage from head and neck tumors to avoid overtreatment. DECT is becoming more widely used in clinical practice and research due to improved diagnostic capabilities.
1) The syngo.via system and CT Oncology Engine allow radiologist Catherine Radier to spend more time with patients by automating and streamlining tasks like lesion detection, data retrieval, and comparing scans over time.
2) For acute stroke patients, neuroradiologist Peter Schramm uses the CT Neuro Engine and syngo.via to quickly identify the ischemic core, tissue at risk of infarction (penumbra), and location of blood clots within 10 minutes to determine appropriate treatment like thrombolysis or clot retrieval.
3) Dynamic CT angiography applications in syngo.via help estimate clot size over time which is difficult to assess from single timepoint scans, aiding decisions
The Sainte-Marie Clinic in Osny, France was one of the first places to install the new SOMATOM Perspective CT scanner in early 2012. They have already examined around 800 patients for almost all types of pathologies. The medical team is satisfied with the scanner's diagnostic performance, speed of exams, and ability to reduce radiation doses by around 50% compared to their previous scanner. The easy workflow and quick exams are beneficial when imaging children and patients needing repetitive exams.
The article discusses advances in computed tomography (CT) for neuroimaging that enable both exceptional image quality and low radiation dose. It profiles Duke University Medical Center's use of Siemens CT equipment for neuroimaging. New techniques like CT perfusion, Neuro Best Contrast, and dual energy applications have changed the diagnostic approach. CT is now routinely used as the primary modality for evaluating acute neurological diseases before treatment to detect hemorrhages or other causes of symptoms like stroke. The low dose capabilities and high image quality of Siemens CT scanners are helping radiologists maximize diagnostic confidence.
This article discusses Siemens' efforts over the past two decades to reduce radiation dose in CT scans through technological innovations. It provides a timeline of important milestones in dose reduction, including the introduction of CARE Dose4D in 1994, ECG-pulsing in 1999, the Definition Flash scanner in 2008, and Iterative Reconstruction in Image Space (IRIS) in 2009. The article highlights feedback from physicians on the clinical benefits of CARE Dose4D, the Adaptive Dose Shield, the Definition Flash, and IRIS, which together have reduced radiation exposure to a fraction of original levels while maintaining image quality. Siemens' goal is to continuously improve dose reduction and expand the clinical applications of CT
This article discusses the clinical experience and performance of the SOMATOM Definition Flash Dual Source CT scanner. Initial results from early testing at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg show that the scanner is exceeding expectations. It can perform a thorax scan in under 1 second and a cardiac scan in 270 ms with a radiation dose of under 1 mSv. The extremely fast scan speed provides motion-free images and expands clinical applications to include patients who cannot hold their breath. Early results also indicate potential for cardiac CT screening due to the very low radiation dose.
The article discusses the need for fast, high-quality and low-dose CT imaging in acute care and cardiology settings when diagnosing critical injuries. Two experts, Dr. Savvas Nicolaou from Vancouver General Hospital and Dr. Jörg Hausleiter from German Heart Center in Munich, emphasize the importance of CT for making timely diagnoses and treatment decisions. They expect the new Stellar Detector technology to provide improved image quality while further reducing radiation dose. The detector aims to balance diagnostic image quality with lower patient radiation, especially important for younger patients. Its ability to produce high-resolution images at high speed could help physicians make critical decisions within the "golden hour" window for treating conditions like stroke.

This document is an issue of the SOMATOM Sessions magazine from Siemens Healthcare. The main stories discussed are:
1. Iterative reconstruction is becoming mainstream for computed tomography as new techniques like SAFIRE have accelerated the reconstruction process.
2. A new protocol called FAST CARE has significantly reduced scan times for cardiac CT exams.
3. The software syngo.via allows physicians to view CT, MRI, and PET images simultaneously for a complete picture of the patient's condition.
The new FAST CARE software from Siemens aims to standardize and simplify CT scans through several innovations. It guides users intuitively through the entire scan process from planning to reconstruction. This reduces workload and potential for errors. FAST CARE also facilitates dose reduction through tools like iterative reconstruction and automatic selection of optimal scan parameters. Dr. Michael Lell expects FAST CARE to save time and improve efficiency, allowing clinics to examine more patients with fewer resources. He is also hopeful the automatic coupling of contrast injection and scanning can reduce staffing needs. Overall, FAST CARE makes CT scans safer, more reproducible and effective for both patients and clinicians.

The document discusses techniques for magnetic resonance neurography (MRN). It describes various 2D and 3D pulse sequences that can be used for MRN, including T1-weighted, T2-weighted, STIR and SPAIR sequences. 3D sequences like SPACE are commonly used and provide isotropic images. The document highlights the benefits of different sequences for visualizing peripheral nerves and discusses interpretation considerations. It emphasizes the importance of fat suppression and resolution for accurate depiction of the smallest nerve structures.
The document discusses developing optimal protocols for simultaneous MR-PET examinations. Initial experience with the first MR-PET system for clinical use showed promise for anatomically focused and whole-body exams. For focused exams, MR provided high-resolution anatomical maps to localize metabolic information from PET. Whole-body MR-PET allowed metabolic bone imaging with improved localization compared to PET-CT. Continued experience will help optimize protocols to maximize benefits from the multi-parametric data provided by the combined MR-PET system.
This document summarizes techniques for pediatric MRI. It notes that children require specialized skills and equipment due to differences from adults in disease types, sensitivity to radiation, and physiology/behavior. Longer scan times are often needed for neonates due to tissue properties. Techniques to improve image quality include using restore pulses and optimized protocols. Safety is a primary concern, especially for heating risks in neonates/infants. Patient cooperation challenges can be addressed through explanation, mock scans, distraction techniques, and anesthesia if needed. Overall the goal is high quality diagnostic images while minimizing distress.
The document discusses abdominal MRI on the new MAGNETOM Prisma 3T scanner. It notes the advantages of 3T MRI include higher signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio, allowing for improved spatial resolution and lesion detection. However, challenges at 3T include increased magnetic field inhomogeneities and susceptibility artifacts. The MAGNETOM Prisma addresses these challenges through technical advances, such as improved B0 and B1 field homogeneity which provide better image quality for liver imaging compared to standard 3T scanners. The article demonstrates examples of reduced distortion and improved diffusion-weighted imaging of the liver on MAGNETOM Prisma.
This document summarizes an editorial and articles in an issue of MAGNETOM Flash, a magazine about MRI. The editorial discusses how technological advances have expanded the use of MRI in pediatrics from primarily brain imaging to a comprehensive multi-organ modality. It highlights several articles in the issue that showcase new MRI techniques being applied to clinical pediatric imaging and research. The issue includes articles on radial 3D VIBE imaging of the pediatric abdomen, diffusion MRI and tractography to study white matter development, insights into tuberous sclerosis from novel DWI models, and RESOLVE imaging of the pediatric spine.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
