clavicular bone tumors occur in less than 0.5 percent of bone tumors. primary chondrosarcoma is very rare even among clavicle tumors. the main symptom is a touchable mass in 69 % of patients. dedicated centers using fna and cytology can reach a correct diagnosis in 94% of cases. treatment planning is done using simple x-ray, ct-scan, shoulder mri, chest ct-scan, and whole body technetium scan. ...

introduction: mandibular fracture is the most common facial bone fracture due to facial trauma. a variety of imagings have been used for diagnosis of mandibular fractures. however, the choice of imaging for diagnosis of mandibular fractures is controversial.present study compares the accuracy of the three most common imaging methods in mandibular fracture diagnosis panoramic radiography, corona...

With rising incidence of breast carcinoma in Asian population, staging workup remains a crucial entity diseasemanagement and outcome. Bone scintigraphy for detection osteoblastic metastasis has remained convenient choice.However, the presence underlying lytic bony lesions sensitivity 99mTc-MDP bone scan is questionable when comparedto 18F-FDG PET-CT scan. We present case that showed better pick...

Introduction: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is middle ear and mastoid infection that causes hearing loss globally. Computed Tomography (CT)-Scan of the temporal bone useful for assessing pathogenesis disease estimating prognosis. In addition, evaluation CT-Scan in patients with CSOM selecting appropriate surgical procedure to minimize post-surgical complications. This study aims asses...

PURPOSE To assess the accuracy of three-dimensional models of the human temporal bone generated from CT data. METHODS Thin-section CT of a left human cadaveric temporal bone was performed using multiple-scan planes (axial, coronal, and sagittal) at 1.5-mm section thickness and 0.25-mm pixel size with an edge-enhancement two-dimensional algorithm. CT data were converted to toggle point format ...

Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorrhea frequently occurs without temporal bone trauma, fracture, surgery, or any identifiable causes. It is usually associated with tegmen tympani defects of the temporal bone in adults. The congenital origin theory and the arachnoid granulation theory have been accepted to explain the tegmen tympani defect. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed t...
