Calcification of basal ganglia is known as FAHR’s syndrome or disease. It’s a rare phenomenon which generally affects the young to middle aged adults. A 39-year-old female was sent radiology department Sree Balaji Medical College, Chennai for computed tomography (CT) she had fall and injured her forehead. An axial plain CT scan without contrast advised performed. The study revealed mild frontal...

methods multidetector ct-scan and explorative laparotomy of the patients with blunt abdominal trauma were assessed retrospectively. characteristics of the injuries were categorized on the basis of the american association for the surgery of trauma (aast) grading system and the findings were analyzed using kappa test. results the findings of 35 patients were analyzed. according to the kappa test...

INTRODUCTION Cholesteatoma is traditionally diagnosed by otoscopic examination and treated by surgery. The necessity for imaging in an uncomplicated case is controversial. This study was planned to investigate the usefulness of a preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan in depicting the status of middle ear structures in the presence of cholesteatoma and also to compare the ...

Post stroke dementia is one of the most common complications of stroke that is preventable and relatively treatable too. The purpose of the study is comparison between the positive findings in brain CT scan and brain perfusion SPECT. 15 patients who were complicated by dementia after cerebrovascular accident and also 5 patients as a control group enrolled in this study. Brain CT scan and ...

Introduction: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of X-ray spectra on the sensitivity of a polymer gel dosimeter imaged with a conventional computed tomography (CT) scanner. Material and Methods: The whole process of CT imaging of an irradiated polymer gel was simulated by MCNPX Monte Carlo (MC) code. The imaging of polyacrylamide gel was accomplished by means of a co...

conclusions performing routine chest and abdominopelvic ct-scan in conscious blunt trauma patients decreases the hospitalization time but has no effect on patient complications and final outcome. using a selective approach and performing ct-scan only for symptomatic patients, would be an appropriate option to decrease radiation dose and facility overuse. nevertheless, the concern of missing occ...

Introduction: K is commonly used as a biomarker of drug efficacy in tumors, but its interpretation is complex when using clinically available low molecular weight contrast agents. Dynamic CT (DCE-CT) potentially provides independent measures of perfusion and permeability. The goals of this study were (1) to compare the reproducibility (scan-rescan) of DCE-CT and DCE-MRI biomarkers, and (2) to c...
