May 26, 2018 · A shoulder computed tomography scan or (CT or CAT scan) creates cross-sectional images of the shoulder using specialized X-ray cameras. This scan can help doctors see the bones and soft...

Automated segmentation of the shoulder muscles can be achieved using machine learning. This allows fully automatic calculation of the muscle volume and fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff and deltoid muscle.

CT scan exams of healthy shoulders and shoulders with primary OA, cuff tear arthropathy (CTA), and irreparable rotator cuff tears (IRCT) were included provided they had been obtained using the following acquisition parameters: slice thickness < 1.2 mm, number of slices > 200, field of view: whole scapula, X-Y resolution < 0.5 mm, matrix size: 51...

Oct 3, 2024 · A CT scan of the shoulder, also known as computed tomography scan, is a specialized imaging technique that provides detailed images of the bones, soft tissues, and structures within the shoulder joint. This non-invasive procedure combines X-ray technology with advanced computer processing to create cross-sectional images, enabling healthcare ...

A computed tomography (CT) scan of the shoulder is an imaging method that uses x-rays to create cross-sectional pictures of the shoulder. CT stands for computerized tomography. In this procedure, a thin X-ray beam is rotated around the area of the body to be visualized.

Jul 22, 2020 · Deep learning provides a rapid and reliable automatic quantification of RC muscle atrophy, fatty infiltration, and overall muscle degeneration directly from preoperative shoulder CT scans of osteoarthritic patients, with an accuracy comparable with that of human raters.

In this pilot study we investigate the influence of tube current reduction on the segmentation accuracy of the scapula. A human cadaver was CT scanned multiple times while reducing tube current amperage. The images were segmented using. 2 different segmentation methods (n=28).

CT rapidly creates detailed pictures of the shoulder. The test may help diagnose or detect: This test may also help a surgeon perform a biopsy or plan surgical treatment to the shoulder. Results are considered normal if the shoulder being examined is normal in appearance. Abnormal results may be due to: Risks of CT scans include:

Shoulder computed tomography (CT) is commonly utilized in preoperative planning for total shoulder arthroplasty. Conventional-dose shoulder CT may expose patients to more ionizing radiation than is necessary to provide high-quality images for this procedure.

A shoulder CT scan with contrast allows even more accurate diagnosis of the shoulder, especially in terms of assessing the condition of vascular structures. This examination is referred to as CT angiography of the shoulder .
