Severe traction injuries may damage the brachial plexus at any level from the spinal cord to the axillary outlet. Investigation aims to determine the level of the injury for each of the nerves, trunks or cords, with particular reference to obtaining firm evidence of any intradural (pre-ganglionic) damage. We report the results of computerised axial tomography of the cervical spine in comparison...

Five cases of intracranial tuberculoma in Asian adults are described, all of whom presented with epilepsy. The computerised tomographic (CAT) scanner displayed the lesions particularly well, and their characteristics are described. Only two cases were explored surgically, but triple antituberculous chemotherapy has the scan abnormalities in all of them to resolve completely. It is concluded tha...

Most attempts at automatic segmentation of liver tissue to date have relied on 2D, low-level segmentation techniques, such as thresholding and mathematical morphology, to obtain the basic liver structure. The derived boundary can then be smoothed or refined using more advanced methods. Here we present results that improve greatly on this previous work by using a topology adaptive active contour...

OBJECTIVE To review the diagnostic tests and investigations used in the management of sports concussion, in the adult and paediatric populations, to (a) monitor the severity of symptoms and deficits, (b) track recovery and (c) advance knowledge relating to the natural history and neurobiology of the injury. DESIGN Qualitative literature review of the neuroimaging, balance testing, electrophys...

INTRODUCTION Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare condition of the gastrointestinal tract which can lead to intestinal obstruction. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a 65-year-old woman presenting with a 1-month history of intermittent generalised abdominal pain. Computerised tomography imaging demonstrated intussusception of the small bowel. Histology of the resected small bowel reveale...

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a benign vascular lesion arising in the spleen. Although this has characteristic radiological findings on both computerised tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, it may pose difficulty distinguishing rare entity from other lesions of spleen clinically radiologically. We report case 46-year-old man with splenic soft ti...

Morgagni hernia is one of the congenital diaphragmatic hernias, but it can also occur in adults. It usually manifests childhood, rare cases, may present linked to a defect during embryological development diaphragm. Uncommon called foramen often affect right side and are found anterior mediastinum. Typically asymptomatic adult patients, obesity, trauma, or other causes elevated intraabdominal p...

Fibrous dysplasia is a rare bone condition in which normal replaced by aberrant fibrous tissue. The patient may come to evaluate with other diseases and while doing investigations, it observed. Here we present case of 24 years male who came our OPD swelling around the left cheek region for 5 days. underwent Computerised tomography scan revealed an expansile, sclerotic, cystic ground-glass appea...

Computerised tomography (CT) scan imaging techniques acts as a guide for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). It plays a vital role in the successful outcome of the treatment and management of the paranasal sinus variations. The frequent predisposing factors of chronic sinusitis are the anatomical variations of the paranasal sinus and nasal region. Computed tomography (CT) scan plays a f...
