Treatment of prostate cancer with radiation is traced back to 1909. Originally this treatment modality was very crude and could not gain much popularity till 1982. Advancements in radioactive source designs, introduction of new low energy radioactive sources,...

Introduction: Accurate evaluation of femoral and tibial torsion is essential for children or adult with legs deformity, becuse incorrect legs morphogenesis can lead to pathological situation. CT scan is commonly used for the measurement of skeletal bone parameters. But, disability in imaging from standing and sitting posture and absorb dose of patients are deficits of this meth...

Hemoptysis is the rarest presentation of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA).This critical condition is one of the life-threatening medical emergencies. Even with prompt approaches, TAA can have highly terrible outcomes.   Although TAA is an almost asymptomatic condition that is accidentally discovered, imaging with contrast is the most useful modality to diagnosis it.

Image-guided position verification in breast radiotherapy is accurately performed with kilovoltage cone beam CT (kV-CBCT). The technique is, however, time-consuming and there is a risk for patient collision. Online position verification performed with orthogonal-angled mixed modality paired imaging is less time-consuming at the expense of inferior accuracy compared to kV-CBCT. We therefore inve...

the most common soft tissue tumors during infancy and childhood are vascular lesions. although the vast majority of these lesions have typical clinical features and do not require any further exam, but sometimes atypical superficial or deeply located lesions need complementary studies to be diagnosed and classified. in that way it is also very important to exclude very less common malignant sof...
