be primary from orbital or be a metastatic product. Radiology study of these tumors is extremely essential for distinguish possible diagnosis, once it characterize its localization, extension, relation between adjacent structures, as well as cellularity and vascularity. In this way, radiology studies permits thinking about differential diagnosis easily. We report some clinical cases that have i...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CT and MR imaging are widely used for the staging of head and neck cancer. Currently, there are no data regarding whether the primary tumor, nodes, metastasis (TNM) staging is routinely incorporated into radiology reports. We conducted a national survey to determine whether radiologists routinely address staging, in particular regarding T (primary tumor) and N (nodal). ...

Enteral access is one of the most common procedures performed in abdominal and interventional radiology. The surgical anatomy of the postoperative stomach may, however, make enteral access challenging. This report describes a patient with a pancreaticoduodenectomy complicated by a gastrojejunostomy leak who underwent 2 unsuccessful transoral endoscopic nasojejunal tube placements and 2 failed p...

Advances in telecommunications and computer software have led to the development of radiology image transfer systems. Radiologists may now report radiographs at a site distant from that of the examination, in some cases almost instantaneously. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography may also be supervised from afar. Developments over the past few decades are reviewe...

CONTEXT Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare cause of intermittent upper gastrointestinal bleeding, commonly caused by aneurysmal rupture. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is required. The standard treatment involves embolization via interventional radiology or a surgical approach. CASE REPORT We report a novel endoscopic approach to hemosuccus pancreaticus with a successful tamponade via pancreat...

OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of emergency physicians (EPs) in the interpretation of non-contrast CT Brain (NCCT Brain) by examining the inter rater reliability between EPs and radiology specialists. METHODOLOGY A four months prospective cohort study was conducted at emergency department of King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We studied the daily performance of ou...

BACKGROUND One of the many challenges facing emergency departments (EDs) across North America is timely access to emergency radiology services. Academic institutions, which are typically also regional referral centres, frequently require cross-sectional studies to be performed 24 hours a day with expedited final reports to accelerate patient care and ED flow. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this stu...

I n the late 1990s, Ontario joined a number of other provinces in referring cancer patients out of the country for radiation treatment. The province and its cancer agency had failed to build sufficient capacity in anticipation of a highly predictable increase in the demand for radiation in Ontario. Public discontent with cancer services and Ontario's cancer agency in 2001 led to some dramatic s...
