Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a prevalent symptom of cardiovascular disease, which major worldwide health problem. Dyslipidemia, characterized by aberrant lipid levels, significantly contributes to CAD development and progression. Objective: This study aimed investigate whether correlation exists between dyslipidemia, as assessed profile parameters, CAC in individuals presenting with chest p...

A 19-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with dyspnea, chest pain, and shortness of breath. A chest radiograph showed mild cardiomegaly. Echocardiography revealed an extra chamber in the heart. To evaluate this abnormality, ECG-gated 16-detector-row computed tomography angiography was performed. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), showing cor triatriatum with total anomal...

BACKGROUND Computed tomography (CT) is widely used to pre-operatively evaluate patients with pancreatic tumors. AIM The purpose of this study is to evaluate retrospectively, the ability of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) to predict resectability of pancreatic cancer on the basis of surgical outcome and pathologic correlation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty nine consecutive patients pr...

OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic usefulness of multidetector computed angiotomography in the diagnosis limb arterial injuries in patients with suspicion of arterial injury with no indication of immediate surgery. METHODS Non-invasive 64-channel multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) was performed on 99 limbs suspected of having a traumatic vascular injury over a 44-month period between...

We present a case of a rare variation of the hepatic artery discovered during the routine examination of abdomen by computed tomography. This variation was showed by multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) in a 35-year-old man. There have been shown the common hepatic artery arising from the anterior surface of abdominal aorta, 4 mm inferior to the celiac trunk. We discussed clinical signi...

C tomographic angiography (CTA) of the coronary arteries is in its relative infancy. Newergeneration electron beam computed tomography and the rapid development of multidetector ( 64 slices) computed tomography (MDCT) with increased spatial resolution (0.33 mm) and temporal resolution (50 to 100 ms with multisegment reconstruction), shorter breathhold (5 to 12 seconds), and less contrast (60 to...

Congenital ventricular diverticulum is rare. We present the case of a 76-year-old man who underwent cardiac multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for recent intermittent chest pain. Obstructive single-vessel coronary artery disease was diagnosed. A left ventricular diverticulum of about 10 x 9 mm was found incidentally. Conventional angiography confirmed both diagnoses. Ventricular diverticu...

Although pediatric pulmonary thromboembolism is historically believed to be rare with relatively little information available in the medical literature regarding its imaging evaluation, it is more common than previously thought. Thus, it is imperative for radiologists to be aware of the most recent advances in its imaging information, particularly multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), the i...

Conventional angiography has long been regarded as gold standard imaging modality for evaluation of the renal vasculature. Introduction of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography had a groundbreaking impact on evaluation of the renal vessels and is gradually replacing conventional angiography as standard imaging. Herein, we review and illustrate the normal and variant anatomy of re...

PURPOSE To compare the diagnostic accuracy of radiography, to radiography equivalent dose multidetector computed tomography (RED-MDCT) and to radiography equivalent dose cone beam computed tomography (RED-CBCT) for wrist fractures. METHODS As study subjects we obtained 10 cadaveric human hands from body donors. Distal radius, distal ulna and carpal bones (n = 100) were artificially fractured ...
