Multiplanar imaging is a fairly new concept in diagnostic imaging available with a number of contemporary imaging modalities such as CT, MR imaging, diagnostic ultrasound, and others. This modality allows reconstruction of images in different planes (flat or curved) from a volume of data that was acquired previously. This concept makes the diagnostic process more interactive, and proper use may...

This study investigated the impact of interaction and output modality on vocabulary learning and retention of EFL learners. To investigate the impact of Interaction, solitary (n =69) and collaborative (n =62) groups served as experimental and No Interaction No Output (n =26) as control group. To address the effect of modality, spoken (n =39) and written (n =31) modalities served as experimental...

Acute abdomen represents about 50% of admission in developed countries. It comprises different etiologies, each with a distinct clinical presentation and evolution. Irrespective the cause, it is related to high morbidity non-negligible mortality rate. Prompt diagnosis treatment are essential decrease cost-efficiency health systems. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), bedside performed by non-radi...

results of the 53 neck dissection specimens, histopathology showed metastases in 16 cases. the overall accuracy of usgfna, us and palpation was 96%, 68% and 70%, respectively. the specificity of usgfna was superior to palpation and us alone. usgfna had the highest sensitivity, predictive value and accuracy in detecting cervical metastases compared with other performed tests. conclusion in our s...

The correlation between color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) for detecting blood flow in breast lesions was investigated, as was the diagnostic value of SMI in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.These lesions were evaluated using both CDFI and SMI according to Adler's method. Pathologic examination showed 57 malignant lesions and 66 benign l...

BACKGROUND With the exception of areas with high prevalence of tuberculosis, medical thoracoscopy is becoming the diagnostic modality of choice for exudative pleural effusions. The aims of this study were to determine the diagnostic yield and safety of medical thoracoscopy for exudative pleural effusions and ascertain the etiology of such effusions in Qatar. METHODS This is a retrospective-de...

The objective of the present research was to assess the usability of three diagnostic imaging modalities for canine prostate gland evaluation. The studies included 33 male dogs of various breeds. A radiographic diagnostic procedure was employed as well as dual modality ultrasound imaging, i.e. transabdominal (TAUS) and transrectal (TRUS). Radiograms were studied to evaluate the prostate gland s...

The spleen is an important organ in the body’s immune system. It is the most frequently injured organ in blunt abdominal trauma. Over the past several decades, diagnosis and management of splenic trauma has been evolved. Focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) examination has replaced diagnostic peritoneal lavage as diagnostic modality. In our study we have focused to manage patien...

Transoesophageal echocardiography has been performed in conjunction with pacing, dobutamine, or dipyridamole stress to detect stress-inducible ischaemia, and has proved to be a highly accurate diagnostic tool. Its advantages of improved image quality and high diagnostic accuracy have to be weighed against the disadvantages of semi-invasiveness and patient discomfort. The existing data on this s...
