introduction: radiation imaging is one of the applicable methods in diagnostic medicine and nondestructive testing for industrial applications. in nondestructive 3d imaging, in addition to the radiation source, there is a requirement for a suitable detection system, data acquisition system, mechanical sections for moving objects, reconstruction algorithm and finally a computer for processing an...

giant uterine leiomyomas are extremely rare neoplasms and are challenging both diagnostically and therapeutically. a 49-year-old premenopausal female presented at our department complaining of abdominal pain and distention for several years. ultrasound (us), color doppler us, abdominal computed tomography imaging after administration of contrast material, and abdominal magnetic resonance imagin...

symptomatic laryngeal chondrometaplasia is rare. to the best of our knowledge, there are only few case reports on laryngeal chondrometaplasia. the imaging appearance of this uncommon disease is even more rarely described. there are only two case reports describing its appearances in computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri). ultrasound (us) features have not been reported so...

perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (pecoma) is a rare mesenchymal tumor composed of immunohistochemically and histologically distinctive perivascular epithelioid cells. here, we report on the computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings of ovarian pecoma with pulmonary metastasis. the tumor was visible as a multilocular hemorrhagic mass that encased the ovarian vessel...

an inflammatory pseudotumor (ipt) is a rare benign lesion, characterized by nonneoplastic proliferation of inflammatory cells and presence of intermingling collagen fibers. ipt commonly occurs in the lungs and orbita, while an intraspinal ipt is extremely rare. ipt can mimic both clinically and radiologically malignant processes, and making a definitive preoperative diagnosis is often difficult...

Precise localization of the third molars in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve canal is critical from a clinical point of view and strongly affects the surgical treatment outcome. Recently, by using three-dimensional modeling software, the relationship of third molar root apices and inferior alveolar nerve canal can be better understood. In this study, the spatial relationship of two surgi...

objective(s): in this study, we aimed to analyze the relationship between the diagnostic ability of fused single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (spect/ct) images in localization of parathyroid lesions and the size of adenomas or hyperplastic glands. methods: five patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (phpt) and 4 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (shpt) we...

Introduction: Increasing in refer to computed tomography (CT-scan) imaging causes to increase in cumulative dose. Stereoradiography (EOS) is an X-ray imaging technology that, by eliminating scattering radiation, reduces patient's absorption dose and improves image quality.   Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in a hosp...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the use of cross-sectional imaging techniques verses surgery in locating parotid masses. Material and Methods: Our study was performed on patients assumed to have parotid masses from Dec 2010 to Dec 2011. Before surgery, imaging studies (Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of parotid were done. After surgery, we compared the s...
