Stab Injury of the Thoracic Aorta: Computed Tomography Findings
Stab injury of the thoracic aorta is a rare condition with high mortality rate. Patients must be evaluated carefully, and the diagnosis usually should be confirmed by radiological modalities. In this case, we report a 37-year-old man presented with a penetrating stab injury to the upper back and the thoracic aorta, and the diagnostic role of computed tomography is discussed.
متن کاملPenetrating stab injury of the thoracic aorta.
A36-year-old male psychiatric nurse was stabbed in the back with a knife by a patient suffering from acute psychosis. After initial treatment in an outside hospital, he was transferred in stable cardiopulmonary condition to our department because a lung injury was suspected (Figure 1). Computed tomography performed while the knife was still in place showed that the blade had penetrated the prox...
متن کاملComputed tomography and thin-section tomography in facial trauma.
The efficacy of radiographic methods in detecting and classifying facial fractures was assessed. Thirty-one patients with maxillofacial trauma were studied with plain radiography, coronal and lateral pluridirectional tomography (PT), and axial and direct coronal computed tomography (CT). PT and CT were compared to assess how many fractures each method could demonstrate. In addition, plain films...
متن کاملDetection of thrombus in acute ischemic stroke: value of thin-section noncontrast-computed tomography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies on the hyperdense middle cerebral artery (MCA) sign were conducted using > or =5-mm thickness noncontrast-computed tomography (NCT). The purpose of this study was to compare thin-section NCT with 5-mm NCT in the detection of thrombus in acute ischemic stroke. METHODS Enrolled were consecutive 51 patients with acute infarction in the anterior or MCA terr...
متن کاملCardiac applications of multislice computed tomography.
Netherlands Multislice CT (MSCT) is gaining clinical acceptance for cardiac imaging owing to improved temporal and spatial resolution of the latest 16-slice and 64-slice technology. Although the cardiac MSCT applications are promising, there is still room for further technical improvements and optimization of post-processing techniques for cardiac evaluation. Interestingly, the data acquired fo...
