Diagnostic value of delayed washout rate of contrast-enhanced multi-detector computed tomography in adrenal incidentalomas

Assessing diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography in detecting small hepatocellular carcinoma

BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the diagnostic values of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in detecting small hepatocellular carcinoma (SHCC). METHODS A series of related articles from 2001 to 2015 were searched in PubMed and Embase databases. Data from selected articles were pooled to analyze the sensitivity, specificity, positive lik...

Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography

Early aortic transcatheter heart valve thrombosis: diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography.

BACKGROUND Early stent valve thrombosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a rare complication, which is diagnosed based on the appearance of clinical symptoms of heart failure and echocardiographic findings. After TAVI, transthoracic echocardiography is performed to assess transcatheter heart valve (THV) function. However, preliminary reports indicate the potential additiv...

An evaluation of the clinical diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with contrast-enhanced computed tomography in space-occupying lesions of the kidney

BACKGROUND There are a variety of space-occupying lesions of the kidney, and the benign lesions may be difficult to differentiate from the malignant ones. Therefore, an accurate judgment of the benign and malignant nature of the space-occupying lesions of the kidney is of high importance for the treatment and prognosis of these patients. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic value of contrast-...

significance of pulmonary nodules in multi-detector computed tomography scan of noncancerous patients

background: computed tomography (ct) scan is one the most useful devices in chest imaging. ct scan can be used in mediastinal abnormality, lungs, and pleural evaluations. according to the high prevalence and different causes of pulmonary nodules, we designed this study to evaluate the prevalence and the types of pulmonary nodules in noncancerous patients who underwent chest multi-detector ct (m...
