Brain aneurysms are a potentially fatal medical condition that may exist without any symptoms until they rupture. CT scans offer one way to learn more about the location, size, and shape of a ...

MRI provides exquisite detail of brain, spinal cord and vascular anatomy, and has the advantage of being able to visualize anatomy in all three planes: axial, sagittal and coronal (see the example ...

CT images of 151 stones in 102 patients were analyzed. The location of calculi varied; most were located in the renal pelvis (47) and lower pole (44), followed by the upper pole (18) and distal ...

A computed tomography (CT) scan of the head creates images of the skull, brain, and other parts of the head. Read about the uses, procedure, and risks of CT head scans here.

The average brain dose per head or neck CT in 2012-2014, 38 mGy, was associated with excess brain cancer risk compared with a brain dose of 0 mGy (RR 1.5, 95% CI 1.2-2.0).

Modern CT machines generate coronal, sagittal and even 3D reconstructions for more accurate assessment. Nadler et al . evaluated the CT images of 102 patients with 151 stones.

For every 10,000 children who received one head CT examination, about one radiation-induced brain cancer is expected during the 5–15 years following the CT examination, researchers warn.

Researchers estimate that for every 10,000 head CT scans given to children aged ten years or younger, one more case of leukaemia and one more brain tumour would be diagnosed as a result.

Diagnostic artificial intelligence (AI) software has been developed to review and report abnormalities in CT brain scans. These AI packages have automated analysis of CT brain scans, including ...

Multiple CT scans in childhood can triple the risk of developing brain cancer or leukaemia, a study suggests. The Newcastle University-led team examined the NHS medical records of almost 180,000 ...
