Recent reports suggest that cardiovascular (CV) events are associated with vascular calcification (VC) on plain radiographs. Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) recommends that lateral abdominal radiography can be used to detect the presence or absence of VC [1]. A previous report showed that an abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) score of Z7 on lateral abdominal radiography was w...

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...

Introduction: Tibial plateau fractures may result in major disabilities if not diagnosed at the right time. Plain radiography is first and foremost imaging modality of choice to evaluate trauma followed by Computed Tomography (CT). Aim: To tibial on CT compare them with 3D reformations plain radiography, classify using Schatzker’s classification. Materials Methods: The prospective cross-section...

A seven-year-old, advance pregnant graded Murrah buffalo was presented with sudden onset of profuse salivation, anorexia, severe tympany and generalized discomfort. Palpation revealed enlarged cervical esophageal mass pain gagging reflex. Plain lateral radiography neck showed presence obstructed in lumen. The removed via esophagotomy under deep sedation local infiltration anaesthesia uneventful...

Computed tomographic (CT) appearances of 18 surgically proven parotid tumors were studied. Digital radiography (GE, ScoutView) was performed to select the desired gantry angulations and then plain CT and CT combined with sialography were performed. Plain CT clearly showed parotid tumors in nine of the patients. CT combined with sialography was more helpful than plain CT for delineating the tumo...

Integrated positron emission tomography combined with plain computed tomography is commonly employed as the diagnostic tool for patients presenting with lung opacities. This technology is non-invasive and does not put the patient at risk of contrast reaction. We report a case of a man who presented with fever, septicaemia, and a left apical lung opacity on chest radiography. His positron emissi...

BACKGROUND Constipation is a common problem in children. Diagnosis is based on clinical features. In case of doubt about the presence of constipation, the existence of fecal retention can be evaluated on plain abdominal radiography. OBJECTIVES To describe and to assess the evidence from observational, controlled studies concerning the association between abdominal radiography and symptoms and...

www.aafp.org/afp VOLUME 66, NUMBER 10 / NOVEMBER 15, 2002 plete opacification are more specific for sinusitis but are seen in only 60 percent of sinusitis cases. Interpretation of plain radiographs can vary widely among different observers,and there is a high rate of false-negative results. Radiographs of the sinuses in infants aged three years or younger are not useful because of false “opacif...

A rare case of intramuscular hemangioma of the masseter muscle with multiple phleboliths is described, highlighting features evident in plain radiography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 21-year-old woman presented with a complaint of swelling of the right masseter muscle. A plain radiograph from the soft tissue of the right cheek showed a large number of round, target-like ...
