The objective of this study was to examine the relative sensitivity and specificity of nuclear scintigraphy compared with other commonly used diagnostic modalities for the diagnosis of avulsion fracture at the origin of the suspensory ligament (ASLO) in horses. Sixty horses presented with lameness localized to the suspensory origin; 34 horses had a diagnosis of ASLO and 26 horses (control group...

Spinal fractures represent 3% to 6% of all skeletal injuries. Spine trauma is a complex diagnostic area in which the radiological assessment is crucial. Plain radiography is often used as the initial diagnostic modality. However, stabilization of the acutely injured spine is a primary concern. In this respect, computed tomography (CT) is vastly superior to plain film in terms of speed and accur...

Paragangliomas are rare caetacholamine secreting neuroendocrine tumours. The diagnosis and management of these tumours is often difficult, particularly as a diagnosis of metastases is often made retrospectively when disease recurrence occurs. In recent years, the role of genotyping has allowed us to better predict which tumours are more likely to be metastatic. Mutations in the SDHB gene have b...

Today, CT has assumed the diagnostic role as the primary urologic imaging modality. The diagnostic value of urological CT is threefold. First, unenhanced CT has essentially replaced the IVP as the imaging test of choice for patients with symptoms of acute renal colic. Second, CT has proven to be a superior test for detecting and characterizing renal parenchymal masses and third, CT urography ha...

Conventional diagnostic modalities for assessing arterial circulation or tissue perfusion include blood pressure measurement, ultrasound evaluation, and contrast-based angiographic assessment. An infrared thermal camera can detect infrared radiation energy from the human body, which generates a thermographic image to allow tissue perfusion analysis. We describe a smartphone-based miniature ther...

Sonography is a convenient, non-invasive diagnostic modality in small ruminants, often used in reproductive management, internal medicine, and surgery. Pregnancy diagnostics and imaging anatomy and pathology of organs, such as neoplasia, are major applications. Urolithiasis is one of the most common causes of death in male sheep and goats, for which sonography is the diagnostic modality of choi...

Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a safe, non invasive diagnostic modality for the evaluation of small bowel lesions. Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) is one of the most important indications of capsule endoscopy. Capsule endoscopy has a very high diagnostic yield especially if the bleeding is ongoing. This technique appears to be superior to other techniques for the detection of suspected lesi...

The combination of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) with radioimaging has revolutionized diagnosis of lung masses.The present study was carried out to assess diagnostic utility of Transthoracic FNAC in lung lesions. The present study comprises 73 patients undergoing the procedure under Computed Tomography (CT) guidancein 57 cases and under Ultrasonography (USG) in 16 cases. With a high se...

The technical feasibility and diagnostic potential of angiographic flat-detector perfusion imaging technique, combining digital subtraction angiography with a computed tomography steady-state imaging, was explored in patients treated direct or indirect revascularization surgery. This short communication is about an modality great for evaluation, comparison grading vascular territory areas anato...
