CT urography provides a comprehensive non-invasive evaluation of the urinary tract. It is performed as a multiphase exam, including an unenhanced phase followed by corticomedullary, nephrographic and excretory phases after intravenous contrast administration. The nephrographic phase provides the highest sensitivity for detecting renal masses and abnormalities. Various dose reduction techniques can be used, including lower dose protocols, split-bolus contrast injection, dual-energy CT, and iterative reconstruction. These allow radiation doses to be reduced by up to 80% compared to traditional triple-phase CT urography exams.
Barium meal is a radiological study used to examine the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and proximal jejunum. It involves oral administration of barium contrast media. There are several types of barium meal studies including single contrast, double contrast, and biphase studies.

cardiac multislice CT.prospective ECG ,retrospective ECG Gating.pptxAALIA ABDULLAH
1. Cardiac multislice CT imaging has been challenging due to the heart's continuous movement.
2. Prospective ECG-triggering with axial non-helical scanning allows imaging of the heart by selectively turning on the X-ray tube during a selected cardiac phase, reducing radiation exposure.
3. The main advantage of prospective ECG-triggering is the lower radiation dose compared to retrospective ECG-gating, as exposure only occurs during the selected cardiac phase rather than the entire cardiac cycle.

Contrast media, also known as contrast agents, are substances used in MRI to enhance the visibility of tissues and structures. They work by altering the relaxation times of protons, leading to improved image contrast. Contrast-enhanced MRI can provide additional diagnostic information to distinguish between tissues and identify abnormalities. Common indications for contrast-enhanced MRI include tumor detection, vascular studies, inflammation/infection, and imaging of the central nervous system, liver, kidneys, and heart. However, contrast agents should be used cautiously in patients with renal impairment, allergies, or other medical conditions due to potential risks.

It explains that MRI works by manipulating the relaxation of excited hydrogen protons back to equilibrium, which provides contrast between tissues with different relaxation times T1 and T2. T1 relaxation recovers the longitudinal magnetization along the magnetic field, while T2 relaxation involves signal decay from spin-spin interactions. MRI sequences exploit variations in T1 and T2 among tissues to generate image contrast and visualize anatomical and physiological features. However, noise from various physical and physiological sources is an inherent challenge that must be addressed.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART
ECG:
●ECG is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity precedes the mechanical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity has two phases:
Depolarization- contraction of muscle
Repolarization- relaxation of muscle
ECG Leads:
●6 Chest leads
●6 Limb leads
1. Bipolar Limb Leads:
Lead 1- Between right arm(-ve) and left arm(+ve)
Lead 2- Between right arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve)
Lead 3- Between left arm(-ve)
and left leg(+ve)
2. Augmented unipolar Limb Leads:
AvR- Right arm
AvL- Left arm
AvF- Left leg
3.Chest Leads:
V1 : Over 4th intercostal
space near right sternal margin

V4:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
clavicular line
V5:Over left 5th intercostal space on the anterior
axillary line
V6:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
axillary line.
Normal ECG:
Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
S-T Segment:
•‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave.
Duration: 0.08 sec
R-R Interval:
•‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves.
•It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle.
Duration: 0.8 sec

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.
1. Ultrasound Abdomen And Pelvis
BY: AALIA ABDULLAH
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR RADIOLOGY & IMAGING
MEWAR UNIVERSITY RAJASTHAN
2. Abdominal Ultrasound:
Pathology And Indications:
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (Enlargement Of Your Abdominal Aorta).
Kidney Stones.
Kidney Cancer.
Bladder Stones.
Gallstones.
Cholecystitis (Gallbladder Inflammation).
Liver Disease.
Kidney Disease.
3.
4. Evaluate abdominal pain or discomfort.
Assess liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys for abnormalities, such as tumors, cysts, or
stones.
Detect and evaluate abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Examine the gastrointestinal tract for issues like appendicitis or bowel obstructions.
Assess blood flow in the major abdominal blood vessels.
5.
6. Patient Preparation:
Fasting: Patients may be asked to fast for a certain period before an abdominal ultrasound, especially
if the gallbladder is being evaluated. This ensures a clear view of the organs. Patient should be NPO
for 4-6 hours prior to study
• ER/INPATIENTS: Fasting not needed given urgency of exam. Follow up imaging may be required
if area of interest obscured by bowel gas, gallbladder distention is needed, etc.
Full Bladder: For pelvic ultrasounds, female patients may be asked to drink water and have a full
bladder, which can help visualize pelvic structures better.
Comfortable Clothing: Patients should wear loose-fitting clothing that can be easily moved aside to
expose the abdomen or pelvis.
Inform the Technician: It's essential for patients to inform the ultrasound technician or radiologist
about any relevant medical history, previous surgeries, or pregnancies.
7. Positioning:
Abdominal Ultrasound:
The patient usually lies flat on their back on an examination table.
The technician may ask the patient to lift their shirt and expose the abdomen.
A gel is applied to the skin in the abdominal area to allow for better sound wave transmission.
8.
9. Pelvic Ultrasound:
Depending on the specific examination (transabdominal or transvaginal), the patient may need
to empty their bladder or have a full bladder.
For a transabdominal pelvic ultrasound, the patient lies on their back with a full bladder.
For a transvaginal pelvic ultrasound, a specialized probe is inserted into the vagina, and the
patient may be asked to lie on their back with knees bent.
10.
11. Pathologies
Pelvic pathologies may present with abdominal mass or pelvic mass.
The patients with abdominal mass may present with abdominal pain, ascites, or
palpable mass, which on bimanual pelvic examination and sonography may be
revealed of pelvic origin.
Pelvic masses are not palpable, and patients with pelvic masses usually present
with abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, or menstrual complaints.
12.
13. indications
Evaluate gynecological conditions in women, including ovarian cysts, fibroids,
and uterine abnormalities.
Monitor pregnancy and assess fetal development.
Assess the bladder for issues like urinary retention or tumors.
Evaluate the prostate and seminal vesicles in men.
Investigate pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding.
14. Scanning Technique:
Transducer Selection: The ultrasound technician selects the appropriate transducer
(probe) based on the patient's anatomy and the specific examination required. For
abdominal and pelvic ultrasound, a curvilinear or phased array transducer is
commonly used.
Image Acquisition: The transducer is moved gently over the skin in the designated area
while continuously emitting sound waves. The echoes produced by the sound waves
bouncing off internal structures create real-time images on a monitor.
15. Adjusting Settings: The technician can adjust various settings, such as frequency
and depth, to optimize image quality and focus on specific structures.
Documentation: Images and video clips are captured to document the findings.
Interpretation: A radiologist or healthcare provider interprets the images to
make a diagnosis or assess the condition being evaluated.
16. The entire procedure is typically painless and non-invasive, and it can take
anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes, depending on the complexity of the
examination.
Afterward, the gel is wiped off the skin, and the patient can usually resume
normal activities. The results are discussed with the patient by a healthcare
provider at a later time.
