I'm not done nearly as frequently as they were in the past and face to be hospitalized the quality of life has really been greatly served by this advance one of those painful exams that CT now frequently replaces is pneumo encephalography Esther sidarsky of Milwaukee describes one after all the test so then the last test was the new mole they took me down and sat me in front of looked like an lard will not move well after I took my hands off of that bar I opened my fist and my nails were embedded in my palm that's not painful it was these new mo exams have now been replaced by CT exams which give better information with little patient discomfort and care of the patients that present at the modern emergency center this is true for a wide variety of disease states that present at the emergency center but is particularly true for the head trauma victim here we have an example of a young man in a auto accident who sustained severe head injury and when seen in the trauma skin the CT scanner we were able to quickly make a diagnosis right frontal lobe following this the patient will be going promptly to the operating room 10 CT give you more complete information than other tests say 5 inches down and the surgery was successful and I'm now back in school pursuing my dream in nature patients who have experienced CT and the alternatives are quite sure how they feel about easy painless CT exams no dispute here I marry physician decide what diagnostic exams to request yeah given the emphasis if I had an office in there was an encounter shower pop you listen this therefore here to make me little man is no walk to Europe are you making the chamois nervous that we should make CC source machine if you screw mirror this here see you know the world lays north at Emory University School of Medicine Atlanta dr. Peter songs director of body CT angiography and ultrasound at the left and dr. Robert Smith professor of surgery we readmitted him to the hospital concerned that he might have a site of one of his connections with the aortic graft the CT scan was one of the first studies that we obtained well you can see from the CT that the aorta and the upper abdomen is essentially normal but at approximately the site of the proximal anastomosis you can see the contrast fill lumen of the graft here mass engulfing the aorta which is typical of the appearance of hematoma or false aneurysm at that area you can see that it extends farther down into the abdomen you know this doesn't fit well in the aorta Graham because believe that was interpreted as normal sones what's the scope of ct's contribution to treatment of cancer Ct provides very and very important information about the treatment of cancer lymphoma which is a cancer of the lymphatic system case in point with the use of CT we can determine the presence or absence of tumor as well as its extent of spread throughout the body knowledge about the extent of spread that is the organs involved is critically important in determining whether radiation therapy surgery chemotherapy or some combination in any given case Prosis which is curvature of the spine in scoliosis the surgeons can straighten us both from a cosmetic and a medical point of view for the first time now with CT we can very simply and very quickly and very safely identify if there is any underlying cause of the scariest because if there is this is where CT is important because it can detect the Thunderer line cord and indicate the precise level more precise abnormality the surgeon should remove before he straightens was fine because the patient may run into complications because of the straightening or he may detect an abnormality that may tell him that he should not straightness by Annette law and we are now using CT more and more in the diagnosis Madan education of these curved twisted spine this is Cheryl Stevenson she has a very personal experience to relate about the CT examination I'm currently a sophomore over in Ohio and for the past seven years I've been affected by small seizures in my left hand until last year and I had a large seizure which I too came unconsciousness Isis Bollywood there was which they diagnosed a tumor in my brain I had several other tests after this and it was an EMG an angiogram which didn't assist the doctors it also wished to see with another second scan they were doctors are able to pinpoint it down so
