Abstract Introduction Older people are likely to have more CT head scans given their multiple co- morbidities, being on anticoagulants, and increased falls. The aims of this quality improvement project (QIP) were to identify the number of patients who had CT head scan, the reason/indication of it, the number of patients who had new finding/s on it, actions taken on new findings, and whether the management plan was altered because of the CT scan. Methods Medical notes and CT head scan reports of all patients admitted to the Health Care of Older People department from April to September 2018 wer

We investigated the association between head computed tomography (CT) scans and the risk of noncancer thyroid diseases in patients with minor head injury in a Taiwanese healthcare setting. For this retrospective population-based cohort study, the 2009–2013 Longitudinal Health Insurance Database was used to include patients with a minor head injury at admission or emergency visit between 2009 and 2013. Multivariate analysis with a multiple Cox regression model was applied to analyze the data. According to whether a CT scan was conducted within 14 days of admission, patients were divided into a

Head vases are assembled in several steps, most important for our comparison is the moulding of the head area. While the other parts of head vases like the size of the handle and the painting can differ significantly from each other, one can notice similarities in the head shapes of the same group.

Abstract:

Background: CT scans are used for various types of examinations such as examinations of the head, thorax, abdomen and so on. The most frequently performed CT scan is a CT scan of the head. However, in the medical field, especially radiology, CT scans have the highest dose compared to other radiation equipment. Efforts to reduce radiation doses and radiation effects are by estimating the correct dose given to CT Scan patients using an optimization index called DRL (Diagnostic Level Reference), namely by evaluating the values of CTDIvol and DLP on CT scans of the head, which have been determin

This amount of intraventricular blood was deemed an incidental finding since it was of very small volume to account for her overall symptoms. The second patient, a 29-year-old woman, was found to have nontraumatic IVH three days after undergoing an EBP. This was seen on CT scan of the head for workup of pressure-like headaches

Abstract:

Introduction: Chronic headache is a common health problem in general medical practice and there is increasing demand of CT scan from specialist as well as non-specialist doctors to refer patients for CT head scan. Patients and methods: The present study was done on 2800 CT head scans of patients with problem of chronic headache. While patients in Group 1 (n=1900) had only chronic headache without any neurological findings, Group B comprised of cases (n=900) referred by specialist doctors after neurological examination.

Abstract:

Background: CT Scan is a medical technology that can show images in the form of slices to see the anatomy of the human body because this technology combines X-rays and television. Basically, how a CT scan works uses a radiation source from X-rays. There are various examinations that can be carried out using a CT scan, one of which is a head examination with a CT scan. CT scan of the head at the Radiology Installation at Bhayangkara Hospital Makassar uses a Slice Thickness of 3 mm to produce a better image.

Abstract:

A new scan-head structure for the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is proposed, featuring high scan precision and rigidity. The core structure consists of a piezoelectric tube scanner of quadrant type (for XY scans) coaxially housed in a piezoelectric tube with single inner and outer electrodes (for Z scan). They are fixed at one end (called common end). A hollow tantalum shaft is coaxially housed in the XY-scan tube and they are mutually fixed at both ends. When the XY scanner scans, its free end will bring the shaft to scan and the tip which is coaxially inserted in the shaft at the commo

ABSTRACT Background: Indication of a head computed tomography (CT) scan in a patient who remains conscious after head injury is controversial. We aimed to determine the clinical features that are most likely to be associated with abnormal CT scan in patients with a history of head injury, and who are conscious at the time of presentation to casualty. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective observation study of patients presented to casualty with history of head injury, and who were conscious, i.e., Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 15 at the time of evaluation. All patients underwent head CT scan.

Abstract:

Objectives: For patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), routine follow-up computed tomography (CT) scans are typically required to monitor the progression of intracranial pathology. Remarkable levels of radiation exposure are accumulated during repeated CT scan. However, the effects and associated risks have still remained elusive. This study presented an effective approach to quantify organ-specific radiation dose of repeated CT scans of head for patients with ICH. We also indicated whether a low-dose CT scan may reduce radiation exposure and keep the image quality highly acceptable for

The trained model can then be employed to predict the global HRTF set (for all directions) from the subject's head scan data alone. In our trial, the HUTUBS HRTF database was used as the training set. A truncated spherical harmonic expansion of head scan data was used to preserve the boundary shape features that are important in the acoustic scattering process.

This study aims to determine the amount of radiation exposure associated with a CT scan and the potential cancer risk from this exposure. The study analyzed 1396 scans, including 1046 scans of the head, 128 scans of the thorax, and 221 scans of the abdomen, using contrast and non-contrast techniques. The effective dose was calculated by multiplying the Dose Length Product (DLP) by the organ weight fact
