Endobronchial tuberculosis and chest radiography I read, with interest, the article entitled “Clinical and Para-clinical Presentations of Endobronchial Tuberculosis” by Ahmadi Hoseini H. S. et al. (1) published in this journal. I would like to focus on some details about the chest X-ray of patients as elaborated by the authors in the results section. Accordingly, the findings of chest radiograp...

Study of Image quality parameters like Contrast, SNR and MTF for Digital Radiography with FPD were carried out at different X-Ray tube variables like energy of X-Ray (kV) and tube current (mA) for different welded tube thicknesses. Experiments of Digital Radiography were carried out on butt welded tubes. Images of these welded tubes were taken with different kV and mA on actual working setup ke...

exploration. The mechanism of injury, the clinical findings, local anaesthetic blocks, contrast arthrography, plain radiography and cine-radiography are the main diagnostic methods available. All or several may provide the necessary assistance. In 1962 Golding described an observation made on plain radiography that we believe is not only valid but can often help in the search for the causative ...

With the increasing use of radiographic contrast media in diagnostic and interventional procedures, contrast-induced nephropathy (CN) has become an important cause of iatrogenic acute renal impairment. In fact, CN is the third leading cause of new acute renal failure in hospitalized patients (1). The pathophysiology and risk factors for this complication are becoming better understood, but ther...

PURPOSE To show the role of ultrasound (US) in distinguishing retropharyngeal abscess from adenitis in children. METHODS Eleven infants and children had clinical symptoms suggestive of retropharyngeal infection. Radiographic evaluation included, lateral neck radiography (11/11), contrast-enhanced neck CT (10/11), contrast-enhanced neck MR (1/11), and real time US (11/11) patients. US was used...
