ROLE OF High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) TEMPORAL BONE IN DIFFERENT PATHOLOGIES

Thoracic high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in asthma.

INTRODUCTION High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is a widespread medical imaging method for the study of thoracic diseases. In asthma it is very useful particularly when it is difficult to achieve an effective control of disease, and in severe deterioration. AIM It was intended to evaluate the imaging changes by HRCT in asthmatic patients and to assess the expression according to the s...

Acute temporal bone trauma: utility of high-resolution computed tomography.

OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical utility of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) for temporal bone trauma evaluation and management. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING Level I trauma center. PATIENTS Patients (n = 105) with evidence of temporal bone trauma. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Statistically significant associations between HRCT, clinical, audiometric, and head CT find...

Role of High-resolution Computed Tomography in the Evaluation of Temporal Bone Fracture

Introduction: Skull base and temporal bone fractures are frequently associated with severe high-velocity head trauma. Even though most of these fractures are not life-threatening, they are often associated with severe morbidity which has got a major impact on the quality of life. Conventional computed tomography (CT) has got its own limitations and often missed finer details of the temporal bon...

Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis: role of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and CT-guided transthoracic core lung biopsy

OBJECTIVES Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) with variable clinical and radiological features. Diagnosis is based on histology obtained by surgical lung biopsy, which is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. This study aims to briefly review PPFE and discuss the role of CT-guided transthoracic core lung biopsy (TTB) in its d...
