conclusions ultrasonography seems to be a safe and cost effective method to evaluate foreign bodies, especially radiolucent objects, in patients with penetrating trauma and suspicious of foreign bodies that may remain undiagnosed in radiography. availability of bedside ultrasound for emergency physicians is an important issue, since it is not possible to access the radiologist at any time of th...

introduction: ankle fracture is one of the most common joint fractures. x-ray and physical examination are its main methods of diagnosis. recently, ultrasonography (us) is considered as a simple and non-invasive method of fracture diagnosis. this study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of us in detection of ankle fracture in comparison to plain radiography. methods: in this diagnostic accuracy ...

A 9-month-old Holstein heifer with a history of severely poor growth presented diarrhoea. On physical examination, metallic pinging sound was heard on the simultaneous percussion and auscultation left trunk. cranial abdominal radiography, contour gas-filled balloon-like abomasum wall delineated, which elevated to dorsal abdomen. Radiopaque sand at bottom had been pulled up caudodorsally by abom...

radiography is one of the most valuable diagnostic tools used in comprehensive dental care. although there is no safe level of radiation exposure, the possible risk associated with exposure to radiation, must be elucidated. to date, a variety of assays have been proposed to assess the mutagenic potential of genotoxicants; however, these methods are typically laborious and time consuming. the ai...

To assess the diagnostic accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in comparison with conventional radiography for vertical root fractures, 50 of 100 teeth were subjected to vertical root fracture (VRF) and then placed in dry mandibles. 3D scans were obtained for all teeth, and conventional radiographs were used as control images. All the images were assessed by 6 observers, who determin...
