Abstract

Medical imaging is integral to the diagnosis and management of the co-morbidities associated with obesity. While individuals with obesity are increasingly imaged within Medical Radiation Science practice, identifying and understanding the challenges of imaging patients with obesity is an essential requirement for all Medical Radiation Practitioners (MRPs). This Continuing Professional Development article introduces key concepts related to imaging this patient group, explores technical considerations and system limitations within planar radiography, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine (NM), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) and explores patient centred care considerations when imaging patients with obesity.

摘要

医学影像学是肥胖相关合并症的诊断和管理的重要组成部分。虽然在医疗放射科学实践中越来越多地对肥胖患者进行成像，但识别和理解肥胖患者成像的挑战是所有医疗放射从业者（MRP）的基本要求。这篇继续教育文章介绍了与对该患者群体成像相关的关键概念，探讨了平面放射摄影、计算机断层扫描（CT）、核医学（NM）、磁共振成像（MRI）和超声（US）中的技术考虑因素和系统限制，并探讨了肥胖患者成像时以患者为中心的护理注意事项。
