Clinical use of quantitative computed tomography and peripheral quantitative computed tomography in the management of osteoporosis in adults: the 2007 ISCD Official Positions.
The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) has developed Official Positions for the clinical use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and non-DXA technologies. While only DXA can be used for diagnostic classification according to criteria established by the World Health Organization, DXA and some other technologies may predict fracture risk and be used to monitor skeletal c...
متن کاملValue of computed tomography in the diagnosis of intracranial abscess.
The computed tomography (CT) scans of 60 patients with intracranial infection have been reviewed. Computed tomography, particularly if used with contrast enhancement, is a valuable adjunct to the investigation of patients with suspected intracranial abscess. The false negative rate is 1%, but despite this, mortality from intracranial abscess remains unchanged.
متن کاملUtility of the computed tomography indices on cone beam computed tomography images in the diagnosis of osteoporosis in women
PURPOSE This study evaluated the potential use of the computed tomography indices (CTI) on cone beam CT (CBCT) images for an assessment of the bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal osteoporotic women. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one postmenopausal osteoporotic women and 21 postmenopausal healthy women were enrolled as the subjects. The BMD of the lumbar vertebrae and femur were calcul...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Diagnosis and Treatment Plan of Impacted Maxillary Canines
Introduction: Maxillary canines have important roles in facial appearance, development of arch, and functional occlusion. Radiographs are important in evaluating the location and nature of these anomalies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate two types of 2D and 3D imaging technique in diagnosis and treatment of maxillary impacted canines. Methods: Thirty eight patients (50 impacted canine...
متن کاملComputed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Lesions in and Around the Saddle Area
Computed tomography is the method of choice for initial evaluation of pa tints with potential suprasellar masses. In our experience during the last 2 years C.T. has proved reliable for detecting or rulling out the presence of a suprasellar mass. It shows the direction and degree of parasellar extension and the presence of any calcific or cystic component of the lesion. When C.T. was negat...
