Intrathoracic Fat Measurements Using Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT): Feasibility and Reproducibility.
Intrathoracic fat volume, more specifically, epicardial fat volume, is an emerging imaging biomarker of adverse cardiovascular events. The purpose of this work is to show the feasibility and reproducibility of intrathoracic fat volume measurement applied to contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography images. A retrospective cohort study of 62 subjects free of cardiovascular disease (55%...
متن کاملLoop type cecal volvulus: Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) findings.
A 67-year-old woman presented in the emergency room with abdominal pain for 2 hours. Physical examination showed abdominal distension and diffuse pain without signs of peritoneal irritation. A plain abdominal radiography showed distension of cecum located ectopically in the left upper quadrant, with little aeration of the distal colon. Given these findings, an intravenous contrast enhanced mult...
متن کاملSex Estimation From Sternal Measurements Using Multidetector Computed Tomography
We aimed to show the utility and reliability of sternal morphometric analysis for sex estimation.Sex estimation is a very important step in forensic identification. Skeletal surveys are main methods for sex estimation studies. Morphometric analysis of sternum may provide high accuracy rated data in sex discrimination. In this study, morphometric analysis of sternum was evaluated in 1 mm chest c...
متن کاملPancreatic adenocarcinoma: diagnosis and staging using multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma continues to be a leading cause of cancer death in the Western world and is amongst the leading gastrointestinal cancers. The incidence of pancreatic cancer has been stable or slowly rising in the past few decades. Overall the prognosis is poor with 5-year survival rates still under 5%. Therefore early detection and accurate staging of these tumors is crucial for optim...
متن کاملReproducibility of abdominal fat assessment by ultrasound and computed tomography
OBJECTIVE To test the accuracy and reproducibility of ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) for the quantification of abdominal fat in correlation with the anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical assessments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using ultrasound and CT, we determined the thickness of subcutaneous and intra-abdominal fat in 101 subjects-of whom 39 (38.6%) were men and 62 (61.4%) were wom...
