Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the procedure for Computed Tomography (CT) Scan examination of the lumbar vertebrae with BMD measurement in suspected spondylolisthesis, the reasons and advantages and disadvantages of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) measurement of CT Scan examination of the lumbar vertebrae in suspected spondylolisthesis at Brebes Regional General Hospital. The type of research is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection methods are observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis stage includes data collection, data processing, data analysis, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study are CT Scan examination of the lumbar vertebrae in the Radiology Installation of Brebes Regional General Hospital were carried out using the Spine helical protocol with the addition of BMD measurement. The BMD measurement technique on CT Scan of the lumbar vertebrae was carried out after reconstruction of the CT Scan image results of the bone window condition by adjusting the Hounsfield Unit (HU) in the corpus, fat, and muscle sections at Thoracal 12 to Lumbar 5. The reason for BMD measurement is to assess the degree of osteoporosis, choose the time and technique to be used in surgery. The advantage is higher sensitivity for bone shape posture, while the disadvantage is the received radiation dose is greater.

Abstract

The 50º clavicle radiography examination at the Radiology Installation of Yogyakarta City Hospital added a 50º cephalad Axial (AP) projection. The purpose of this study was to determine the post-ORIF radiographic examination procedure for clavicle fracture cases with a 50º angle, the resulting diagnostic information, and the reasons for using an additional 50º Axial (AP) projection. This study used a qualitative case study approach at the Radiology Installation of Yogyakarta City Hospital. The data collection methods used were observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out by data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study were that the 50º clavicle radiography examination procedure at the Radiology Installation of Yogyakarta City Hospital was carried out with general patient preparation by removing metal objects, the patient positioned supine, the object position was adjusted to the mid-clavicle detector, the acromioclavicle and sternoclavicle joints were not cut. The central point was the mid-clavicle, the horizontal central ray was 50º cephalad perpendicular to the detector, and collimation was minimized. The resulting diagnostic information pays attention to the superimposed clavicle body with plates and screws, the fracture line on the clavicle, looking at the joint space in the shoulder. The reason for using the 50º projection is to obtain diagnostic information on the entire clavicle without superimposition on plates and screws, scapula, ribs, and patient follow-up assessment. The use of the 50º cephalad projection in the Radiology Installation of Yogyakarta City Hospital can provide diagnostics, especially focusing on information on the superimposed clavicle with plates and screws, and the fracture line.
