Accurate radiographic interpretation is essential for properly diagnosing the etiology of pre-arthritic hip pain such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and acetabular dysplasia (AD); however, radiographic interpretation can be significantly influenced by the observer's experience level. This study assesses the accuracy and inter- and intraobserver reliability in the radiographic evaluation ...

Myxomas are rare neoplasms of mesenchymal origin. Diagnostic evaluation requires histopathological confirmation. We report a rare case of atypical orbital myxoma with radiographic and histopathological correlation.

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate radiographic and metabolic changes in bone metastases in response to systemic therapy with (18)FDG-PET/CT and determine their roles on the evaluation of therapy response. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated radiographic and metabolic characteristics of bone metastases in 30 patients who were referred for the evaluat...

OBJECTIVES Foot and ankle injuries that result in sprains or fractures are commonly encountered at the emergency department. The purpose of the present study is to find out the accuracy of ultrasound (US) scanning in injuries in the aforementioned areas. METHODS Ottawa Ankle Rules-positive patients older than 16 years who presented to the emergency department with foot or ankle injuries were ...

Background Radiographic lateral spine view remains the gold-standard evaluation for sagittal curvatures of the spine. Specific positioning of the forward upper extremities during radiographic exposure is recommended to ensure no vertebra is obscured. However, the postural impact of arm positions has never been verified for the normal adolescent population. As a result, no data are available abo...

OBJECTIVE To describe a case of granulomatous hypophysitis occurring after treatment with interferon alfa-2b and ribavirin for hepatitis C. METHODS Clinical, radiologic, laboratory, and pathologic assessments of a woman with granulomatous hypophysitis and interferon-induced thyroiditis are presented. RESULTS A 42-year-old woman with hepatitis C was treated with interferon alfa-2b and ribavi...

Background: Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in Nigeria and the world at large. Substantial number of cases of tuberculosis occurs in children, especially in this era of HIV pandemic. Chest radiograph is an important examination in evaluation for pulmonary tuberculosis. There is paucity of literature on the chest radiographic features predictive of HIV in pulmonary tuberculosi...

objectives : optimum viewing conditions facilitate identification of radiographic details and decrease the need for retakes, patients’ costs and radiation dose. this study sought to evaluate the effects of different viewing conditions on radiographic interpretation. materials and methods: this diagnostic study was performed by evaluating radiograph of a 7mm-thick aluminum block, in which 10 hol...

abstract background: the radiographic image accuracy depends on the x-ray film information visibility. good visibility is found by good contrast. radiation exposure parameters (kvp, mas) and film processing conditions have impact on contrast. in dentistry radiography machines, exposure time and processing procedure are set by radiographer. no optimized exposure time and processing conditions ma...

AIM The purpose of this study was to examine, with a sonographic investigation, the hand and wrist bones of a group of young patients and to compare the results with those obtained with a classical radiographic assessment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Some 25 subjects, 9-18 years of age, who presented problems concerning their short stature or precocious puberty, were evaluated. Each subject was exa...
