The Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool: A useful tool for pain assessment in intensive care units
Pain is a major concern in all intensive care units (ICUs). The proper assessment and management of pain is one of the main goals of patient care in ICUs. Improper evaluation of pain and its over or under treatment can cause significant problems in the process of patient management in ICU. Since most ICU patients are unable to communicate correctly with the ICU team and explain their level of p...
متن کاملMR Elastography as a Tool for Evaluating Tissue Mechanics
Richard L. Ehman Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, United States Introduction The anatomy and function of the musculoskeletal system is strongly determined by the mechanical properties of its component tissues: bone, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, and adipose tissue. Efforts to better understand musculoskeletal biomechanics in health and disease have created an increase...
متن کاملHistogram analysis- a useful tool for tissue characterization in brain CT
Introduction: Pixel value in computed tomography (CT) gives the average linear attenuation coefficient of the scanned material in the path of the x-ray beam, being normalized to that of water. It is known that attenuation coefficient or HU value is a function of the chemical characteristic of the material and of the x-ray energy. The CT image shows the HU value by a shade of gr...
متن کاملParallel imaging: is GRAPPA a useful acquisition tool for MR imaging intended for volumetric brain analysis?
BACKGROUND The work presented here investigates parallel imaging applied to T1-weighted high resolution imaging for use in longitudinal volumetric clinical studies involving Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients. This was in an effort to shorten acquisition times to minimise the risk of motion artefacts caused by patient discomfort and disorientation. The princip...
متن کاملEndoscopic pancreatography in evaluating results of pancreatico-jejunostomy.
It has been difficult, employing clinical methods, to establish whether pancreatico-enteric drainage shunts for chronic pancreatitis have remained patent and how the operation has affected the inflammatory changes and ductal pathological morphology. In an attempt objectively to evaluate postoperative results, 13 patients with two different types of pancreatico-jejunostomies were examined with e...
