Efficacy of Portable Head CT Scan in the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit

Introduction: Portable computed tomography (CT) studies are an important component of the Neuroscience ICU (NICU) for managing, assessing, and diagnosing central nervous system diseases and acute brain injury. Designed for head and neck scanning, this portable device is ideal for seriously ill patients with high complications and morbidity during in-hospital shipping. This study found that evidence of in-hospital transport in patients with brain injury could affect the outcome.

Computed tomography of the head (also known as CT or CAT scan). An imaging diagnostic method that generates a horizontal or axial image of the head (commonly referred to as a slice) using a combination of X-rays and computer technology. In CT scan, detailed images of every part of the body such as bones, muscles, fat, organs are displayed. CT scans are more detailed than common x-rays. The bone is still very soft, it does not mix with other sutures, it is easy to use, so the best time to perform surgery is before the child becomes 1 year old. Depending on the severity of the symptoms, surgery may be needed earlier. As this type of surgery may cause blood loss, it is common for surgery to be delayed in surgery in consideration of growth and development, and an increase in blood volume in infant surgery. Most surgeries complete in 3 to 8 months

Modern medicine is far beyond X - rays. In medical imaging diagnosis of Fredericksburg, ultrasound, mammography, CT scan, several kinds of MRI, PET scan, PET-CT scan were performed. In addition to x-rays, the two most common tests are CT scan and MRI. Both provide more detailed information than X-rays. If special imaging is required, it is useful to understand CT scanning and MRI operation and usage. In some respects, the two tests are similar to each other. They all show cross-sectional pictures of the body, but they do this with different techniques. CT (computed tomography) generates cross-sectional images using multiple X-rays taken at different angles. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a magnetic field and a radio frequency. Due to technical differences, the test displays the same part of the body in different ways and chooses according to the possible diagnosis

Radiologists are medical professionals who perform imaging diagnostic procedures such as X-ray examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and computed tomography (CT) scan. Some of them focus on specific technologies such as cardiovascular interventional radiography, mammography, or ultrasound. Radiologists are responsible for accurately locating the patient and ensuring high quality diagnostic images. They work closely with radiologists interpreting medical images to diagnose or rule out illnesses and injuries. The captured image must be performed by the radiologist on the image correctly interpreted by the radiologist.
