It was evaluated of early stage results using new modified toggle pin technique in treatment of craniodorsal coxofemoral luxations in cats which appears to be technically easy and quick. The material of the study consisted of 9 cats diagnosed with coxofemoral luxation as a result of orthopedic and radiological examination brought to the Animal Hospital of Firat University with the complaint of ...

The stress-tenogram is a radiological technique for the investigation of injuries to the lateral ligament of the ankle, and combines the information previously provided by inversion and anterior stress radiographs, and the peroneal tenogram. It is designed to differentiate between stable and unstable ankles, and between isolated ruptures of the anterior talofibular ligament and combined tears o...

background:to determine the prevalence of incidental kienböck disease.   methods: a retrospective analysis of 150,912 radiological reports or images obtained over a five year period was performed of 76,174 patients who underwent a radiograph or computed tomography scan which included the wrist, in edinburgh and lothian, uk. results: there were 5 cases of incidental kienböck disease and 13 cases...

A preoperative presumptive diagnosis of ameloblastoma is sometimes made in the light of available clinical and radiological data, which are generally not very characteristic. The final diagnosis can only be made on the basis of histologic features. In this paper, a case of ameloblastoma diagnosed preoperatively by fine-needle aspiration cytology is presented and the potential value of this tech...

Confident localisation of ectopic parathyroid adenomas, particularly those outside the neck, can be difficult. Even preoperative radiological imaging may not be helpful, as there are few characteristic findings. We report a case in which hyperfunctioning ectopic parathyroid tissue in the mediastinum was detected with technetium-99m-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography and accura...

Bilateral laparoscopic ovariectomy performed in standing mares eliminates many of the potential complications associated with traditional methods of ovariectomy. When compared with previously described techniques, the technique described here requires minimal laparoscopic instrumentation. Dissection of the ovarian pedicle prior to ligation is considered essential to ligature security. Authors’ ...

The creation of an intrahepatic portosystemic shunt via a transjugular approach (TIPS) is an interventional radiological procedure used to treat the complications of portal hypertension. TIPS insertion is principally indicated to prevent or arrest variceal bleeding when medical or endoscopic treatments fail, and in the management refractory ascites. This review discusses the development and exe...

Several radiological and endoscopic techniques are now available for the study of inflammatory bowel diseases. In everyday practice, the choice of the technique to be used depends upon its availability and a careful evaluation of diagnostic accuracy, clinical usefulness, safety, and cost. The recent development of innovative and noninvasive imaging techniques has led to a new and exciting area ...
