conclusion according to our findings, ct-guided percutaneous drainage is a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of abdominal abscess and fluid collection. results the average age of the patients was 54 years (range 12 to 79), including 21 (51%) men and 20 (49%) women. the common signs and symptoms were pain (83%) and fever (80.5%). the most prevalent abdominal abscess etiology was prev...

introduction: computed tomography (ct) is an imaging technique with gives us an opportunity to review cross sections of the body in live animals. in veterinary medicine although ct is mostly used for diagnostic purposes in small animals, but in recent years ct also has been used as a non invasive modality in non clinical studies. jebeer gazelle (gazella bennettii) is one of the species of the g...

background: methanol is a colorless and poisonous liquid that is commonly used as an industrial and household solvent. methanol poisoning is a rare but extremely hazardous form of in toxication that affects the central nervous system and causes visual disorder, drowsiness, seizures and coma.  case presentation: a 29-years-old man with methanol intoxication presented with drowsiness and acidosis...

Until recently the chest radiograph has been the only imaging technique used in the assessment of patients with suspected diffuse lung disease. In this context the chest radiograph is less than ideal. Problems arise with both false negative and false positive results. It is well established that the chest radiograph may appear entirely normal in up to 10% of patients with biopsy proved diffuse ...

An X-ray diffraction computed tomography data-collection strategy that allows, post experiment, a choice between temporal and spatial resolution is reported. This strategy enables time-resolved studies on comparatively short timescales, or alternatively allows for improved spatial resolution if the system under study, or components within it, appear to be unchanging. The application of the meth...

This mage based series comprises of a quiz pertaining to the identification of salient anatomical structures expected to be seen at a given level on the computed tomography (CT) followed by examples of multiple representative pathologies that can be seen at the same level in a routine clinical setting. It is expected that this will improve confidence of nuclear physicians in interpretation of t...

conclusion attending radiologists could diagnose acute appendicitis accurately on ne-ldct. performance of senior residents on ne-ldct is better than junior residents and comparable to attending radiologists. results diagnostic performances for acute appendicitis were not statistically different for attending radiologists at both examinations. better performance was noted on the ce-sdct with a b...

introduction: knowledge of the presence of the alveolar antral artery in the lateral maxillary sinus wall is essential for surgeons who operate in this region. the purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between alveolar antral artery diameter and lateral maxillary bony wall thickness in dentate patients.   materials and methods: thirty five cone-beam computed tomography (cbct)...

conclusion no significant differences were found among observers or voxel sizes, with high az results reported for all groups. results no significant differences were found among observers or voxel sizes, with high average z (az) results being reported for all groups. both intra- and inter-observer agreement values were relatively better for 3d accuitomo 170 images than the images from newtom 3...
