A 54-year old woman presented with a year long history of increasing dyspnoea and orthopnoea. The chest X-ray and CT scan suggested bilateral hemidiaphragmatic elevation (Fig. 1a and b). Subsequent MRI demonstrated normal position of both hemi-diaphragms and diagnosis of massive hiatus hernia was made (Fig. 2). Herniated stomach, omentum and colon were confirmed intraoperatively. Figure 1: Ches...

A 3-year-old child presented in a drowsy state following a fall from a height of twelve feet. Initial head Computed Tomographic (CT) scan showed left frontotemporal acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) along with left coronal diastatic fracture with associated scalp hematoma. While awaiting surgery, an unexpected improvement in the child’s sensorium was noted within six hours of trauma. A repeat head...

A 55-year-old man presented with upper abdominal discomfort. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) and a colonoscopic biopsy revealed non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the ileocecal region. An FDG-PET/CT scan performed three days after colonoscopy demonstrated intense FDG activity in the right abdomen on a maximal projection PET image (Picture 1). There were no other foci of abnormal FDG activity. The CT po...

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 ...

Introduction: Recently combination of diagnostic endoscopy and systematic understanding of the lateral nasal wall with CT in the coronal plane has become the corner stone in the evaluation of the PNS disease. This is the basis for the concept of FESS. Material and Method: Patients attending ENT OPD in RIMS, Ranchi with any sino-nasal complains lasting for more than 4 weeks and not responding to...

Background and Objectives: The frontal sinus is regarded as one of the human paranasal sinuses located in the frontal bone as a triangular-shaped cavity, which originates as separated space from the anterior ethmoid cells. Computed Tomography (CT) is a completely non-destructive technique that uses a high density of contrast to identify the air inside any bony sinus with soft tissue demarcated ...

BACKGROUND This study was performed to investigate the relationship between coronal computed tomography (CT) and Broden's view in terms of location of the fracture line and fracture pattern. METHODS Forty-five feet of 45 patients with intraarticular calcaneal fractures were evaluated. The mean age of the patients was 46.3 years (standard deviation, 18.1; range, 15 to 80 years), and there were...

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...
