Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique using magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of organs, distinguishing it from other modalities like CT scans. Since its inception in the 1970s, MRI has evolved to become a versatile tool in various medical applications, including neuroimaging, cardiac imaging, and oncology. Despite its advantages, safety considerations exist, particularly concerning contraindications with certain medical devices and the potential discomfort associated with the scanning process.
This document provides an introduction to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It discusses the history, instrumentation, working principles, and applications of MRI. MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of organs and tissues in the body. Felix Bloch, Edward Purcell, and Raymond Damadian contributed to early discoveries around MRI. Key MRI machine components include the main magnet, gradient coils, and radiofrequency coils. MRI works by aligning hydrogen protons in tissues when a magnetic field is applied, and using radio waves to elicit signals to form images. MRI has many medical applications including neuroimaging, cardiology, musculoskeletal imaging, and angiography.

This document provides information about computed tomography (CT) scanning techniques. It discusses spiral or helical CT scanning where the X-ray tube rotates continuously around the patient while the couch moves the patient through the plane of rotation, allowing the reconstruction of transverse images along the entire length of the area being scanned. It describes how slip-ring technology, high-power X-ray tubes, and interpolation algorithms enabled the development of helical CT scanning. The document also discusses factors that influence the volume of tissue imaged like examination time, couch travel, pitch, and collimation.
The document provides an overview of computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction. It explains that after transmission measurements are taken by detectors, the data is sent to a computer for processing using reconstruction algorithms. The most widely used algorithm is filtered backprojection, which builds up the CT image by essentially reversing the data acquisition steps and smearing attenuation values along ray paths in the image. This reinforces areas of similar attenuation, reconstructing the image matrix. The document also discusses CT number scales, windowing, and other techniques for manipulating and displaying the reconstructed CT image.
This document discusses radiation safety and protection in computed tomography (CT) scanning. It defines stochastic and deterministic effects of radiation, and explains that stochastic effects depend on probability of occurrence with increased exposure while deterministic effects have a threshold dose above which the probability of the effect is 100%. It also discusses units used to measure radiation dose exposure, absorbed dose, and dose equivalent. The document focuses on measuring radiation dose from CT scanning, defining and measuring the CT dose index (CTDI) and multiple scan average dose (MSAD). It explains how changing parameters like kVp can affect radiation dose and image quality.
This document provides information about computed tomography (CT) scans and factors that affect radiation dose, including:
1. Helical pitch affects dose, with lower pitches increasing dose and higher pitches decreasing dose. Tube current and time also affect dose linearly, with higher mAs increasing dose.
2. Effective radiation dose from CT scans is much higher than conventional x-rays but still less than typical background radiation exposure per year. Automatic exposure control helps reduce dose by modulating tube current based on patient attenuation.
3. Radiation dose to patients and staff is carefully monitored and controlled through techniques like collimation, time, distance and shielding to keep exposure As Low As Reasonably Achievable.
This document provides a summary of key concepts in computed tomography (CT) imaging. It discusses back projection reconstruction techniques which can produce blurred images. It also describes filtered back projection which uses digital subtraction filtering to reduce blurring. Fourier reconstruction techniques are described where projection data is transformed to the frequency domain using Fourier transforms before being reconstructed into a spatial domain image. Different window widths and window levels are discussed for optimizing soft tissue versus bone imaging.
This document discusses the basics of computed tomography (CT) and multislice CT. It explains that multislice CT uses multiple parallel detector arrays rather than a single detector array, and an X-ray tube with high heat capacity. It describes the increasing number of slices used in multislice CT scanners over time, from dual to 64 slices. The document also discusses clinical applications of multislice CT such as improved imaging of trauma patients and angiography, as well as advantages over conventional CT such as faster acquisition and reduced radiation dose.
This document provides an overview of computed tomography (CT) scanning. It discusses limitations of conventional x-rays like superimposition and poor contrast resolution. CT addresses these issues by using a narrow x-ray beam and detectors to measure transmission and calculate attenuation values for image reconstruction. The data acquisition system acquires multiple projections from different angles to form cross-sectional images with excellent contrast and no superimposition. CT numbers provide numerical values related to tissue density and attenuation.

Revision Total Hip Replacement (THR): Surgical Principles, Techniques, and Bo...Dr. Prabhat Pandey
油
Revision Total Hip Replacement (THR) is among the most demanding procedures in orthopedic surgery. Unlike primary THR, it involves addressing pre-existing complications such as implant failure, dislocation, bone loss, or infection, often in the presence of compromised soft tissues and bone quality. While primary THR offers high success rates and reproducible outcomes, revision THR requires greater surgical expertise, meticulous planning, and personalized execution to restore function and minimize complications.
This presentation by Dr. Prabhat Pandey is designed as a comprehensive resource for orthopedic surgeons, residents, and joint reconstruction teams who seek to understand and master the essential principles, decision-making algorithms, and advanced techniques used in revision THR.
Revision hip arthroplasty is associated with:
Increased operative time and blood loss
Higher complication rates: infection, dislocation, thromboembolism, nerve injury, and periprosthetic fracture
The need to manage weakened bone stock and soft tissue envelope
Difficulty in removing failed implants, including intramedullary components.
Revision surgery is warranted in cases of:
Prosthetic dislocation or instability
Mechanical loosening of components
Implant wear or breakage
Periprosthetic fracture
Deep infection
Osteolysis or bone resorption
Painful loosening without overt signs of mechanical failure
Each case demands tailored intervention based on the severity and combination of these factors.
3. Principles of Successful Revision THR
Safe removal of loose or failed components
Preservation of host bone and soft tissue integrity
Effective reconstruction of bone defects using bone grafts or metal augments
Achieving stability of the revision components
Restoration of biomechanics, particularly the anatomical center of rotation.
Dislocation rates:
0.310% in primary THR
Up to 28% in revision THR
Influencing Factors:
Surgical approach
Abductor muscle function
Component malpositioning
Patient compliance
Prosthesis longevity
Underlying diagnosis (e.g., hip fracture, neuromuscular disorder
Revision Total Hip Replacement is not merely a technical endeavorit is a test of surgical judgment, experience, and adaptability. Successful outcomes hinge on:
Thorough preoperative assessment
Judicious use of classification systems like Paprosky
Proficiency in implant removal
Skillful reconstruction of defects
Meticulous postoperative care
