Multidetector CT of Emergent Biliary Pathologic Conditions

Multidetector CT of emergent biliary pathologic conditions.

Various biliary pathologic conditions can lead to acute abdominal pain. Specific diagnosis is not always possible clinically because many biliary diseases have overlapping signs and symptoms. Imaging can help narrow the differential diagnosis and lead to a specific diagnosis. Although ultrasonography (US) is the most useful imaging modality for initial evaluation of the biliary system, multidet...

Using Multidetector CT in Predicting Resectability of Pancreatic Head Tumors: Surgical and Pathologic Correlation.

BACKGROUND Computed tomography (CT) is widely used to pre-operatively evaluate patients with pancreatic tumors. AIM The purpose of this study is to evaluate retrospectively, the ability of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) to predict resectability of pancreatic cancer on the basis of surgical outcome and pathologic correlation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty nine consecutive patients pr...

Multidetector CT of pancreatic hemangiopericytoma

Hemangiopericytoma is an aggressive, highly metastatic tumor of the soft tissues and meninges. Metastases have been reported in the liver, lungs, bones and rarely other organs. To the best of our knowledge, 18 cases of pancreatic metastases have been reported, but none have been described in the radiology literature. We report a case of hemangiopericytoma with metastasis to the pancreas and des...

Revolution next--the multidetector CT.

Ring artefact in multidetector CT.

To cite: Artul S. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013201379 DESCRIPTION High-resolution tomographic images acquired with a digital X-ray detector are often degraded by the so-called ring artefacts. Ring artefacts are the concentric rings superimposed on tomographic images. Artefacts in general can seriously degrade the quality of multidetector CT ...
