Flat panel detectors have revolutionized tomographic imaging in the angio suite. Recent developments in hardware and software have improved soft tissue resolution and acquisition time even further, enabling soft-tissue and perfusion imaging within the angio suite. The so called “one-stop-shop” stroke imaging with flat panel detector computed tomography (FDCT) will significantly improve door to ...

Coronary artery anomalies are rare, and their incidence varies from 0.6% to 1.3%. Conventional angiography is a commonly used modality for the assessment of coronary artery anomalies, but it may not identify and define the anatomy of anomalous arteries due to the complexity of the course and three-dimensional orientation of the arteries. We present a rare case of duplicated right coronary arter...

OBJECTIVE To present a case of a rare variation of the renal artery and multiple (7) renal arteries by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 36-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital as a potential living donor for renal transplantation. An MDCT angiography was performed using a 16-detector row CT scanner to obtain a detaile...

The aim of this study was to reveal biometric peculiarities of New Zealand white rabbit antebrachium (radius and ulna) by means of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images. Under general anesthesia, the antebrachiums of a total of sixteen rabbits of both sexes were scanned with a general diagnostic MDCT. Biometric measurements of the reconstructed...

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare entity that consists of chronic, non-specific inflammation the retroperitoneum with proliferation fibrotic tissue surrounding aorta, inferior vena cava, iliac vessels, and generally encompasses compresses ureters. It can be primary idiopathic or secondary to drugs, neoplasms, previous radiotherapy among others. The average age onset between 40 70 years s...

Abstract Background The clinical use of the radial artery (RA) in coronary bypass grafting (CABG) is still limited worldwide, although it has been recommended by several guidelines. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) widely used to evaluate graft patency, as invasive angiography could cause potentially serious risks including bleeding, dissection and stroke. This study aims report short-t...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to analyze the contribution of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) imaging to the diagnosis and management of pancreatic cancer compared with multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively scanned the data of 52 pa...

OBJECTIVE To assess multidetector-row computed tomographic (MDCT) urography for detection of recurrence of bladder tumor after transurethral resection (TUR), and to assess significance of the MDCT findings like urothelial enhancement or thickening as a recurrence. METHODS A total of 216 MDCT urography examinations were performed for 100 patients undergoing follow-up after TURs were reviewed b...

A coronary artery aneurysm is an uncommon disorder and is seen as a characteristic dilatation of a localized portion of the coronary artery. Clinical manifestation of a coronary artery aneurysm varies from an asymptomatic presentation to sudden death of a patient. Although coronary aneurysms are typically diagnosed by the use of coronary angiography, a new generation of coronary 64-slice multid...

OBJECTIVE Because renal venous variations possess potential hazards during abdominal aortic surgery or laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, the detailed preoperative evaluation of the renal vessels with angiography should be performed to avoid vascular injuries. We present multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) findings of the retroaortic left renal vein (RLRV) with other vascular variations. ...
