Letournal and Judet classification of acetabular fracture is widely used. The classification is based on the identification of fracture lines on plain radiographs. Three-dimensional CT scan was claimed to give a better view of the fracture line. Our study showed that intraobserver reproducibility and interobserver reliability were almost the same when classification was done by using plain radi...

BACKGROUND Computed Tomography (CT) has become a widely used supplement to medico legal autopsies at several forensic institutes. Amongst other things, it has proven to be very valuable in visualising fractures of the cranium. Also CT scan data are being used to create head models for biomechanical trauma analysis by Finite Element Analysis. If CT scan data are to be used for creating individua...

The complex anatomy of the pelvis and acetabulum have historically made classification and interpretation of acetabular fractures difficult for orthopedic trainees. The addition of 3-dimensional (3-D) computed tomography (CT) scan has gained popularity in preoperative planning, identification, and education of acetabular fractures given their complexity. Therefore, the authors examined the valu...

objective(s): in clinical practice, approximately 10-25% of post-surgical differentiated thyroid carcinoma (dtc) patients with high serum thyroglobulin (tg) and negative 131i whole-body scan (wbs) have poor prognosis due to recurrent or metastatic lesions after radioactive iodine treatment. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of 18f-fdg pet/ct scan in dtc patients with high seru...

plagiocephaly (oblique skull) is premature fusion of one of the coronal sutures. frontal plagiocephaly is a rare congenital deformity in the skull that is the most complicated form of craniosynostosis to treat. examination of all sutures is necessary for diagnosis of craniosynostosis in this article, a 10-month-old, healthy girl with deformity of the right forehead and orbit that is caused by f...

background outcome determination of head trauma is important for medical decision-making. to determine the consequences by using ct findings, the marshall and rotterdam criteria were introduced. few studies have been conducted to determine the diagnostic value of the rotterdam criteria. objective this study assesses the diagnostic value of the rotterdam criteria score with early outcome for tra...

results loss of consciousness (gcs drop or amnesia) was markedly associated with abnormal brain ct scan (p < 0.05). interestingly, we found 7 patients with normal clinical examination but significant abnormal brain ct scan. conclusions according to the results of our study, we recommend that all patients with minor head trauma underwent brain ct scan in order not to miss any life-threatening he...

magnetic resonance imaging (mri) uses a constant magnetic field and radio waves, a non-invasive method for examining tissues, organs and the skeletal system. the advantages and disadvantages of mri is not fully understood. in the computerized tumor (ct) scan, as an invasive method, the x-rays of the body is used for tomography; which different x-ray attenuation coefficient in tissues as well as...
