The radiographic appearance of sinuses was studied in 146 Thai asthmatic patients aged 1-13 years. Forty-eight percent of cases showed sinusitis by the radiographic criteria. The maxillary sinus was most commonly involved (98.6%). Thirty-three percent had ethmoidal sinusitis and 7% of those with developed frontal sinuses had frontal sinusitis. Thirty-three percent had more than one sinus involv...

Central hemangioma of the mandible and maxilla is extremely rare. Although the mucosal and soft tissue lesions are readily suspected by their clinical appearance, the intrabony lesions may be difficult to distinguish visually. The clinical and radiographic presentation is relatively nonspecific; therefore, a proper diagnosis has to be made. The management of central hemangioma is difficult beca...

Pulmonary nocardiosis is a well-described infection in immunocompromised patients; however, it is less well documented in patients with AIDS. The pulmonary manifestation in 21 HIV-positive patients who developed pulmonary infection with Nocardia asteroides is described. The radiographic picture included lobar or multilobar consolidation (52 percent [11/21]), solitary masses (24 percent [5/21]),...

AIM The aim of this report is to present a case of multiple calcified tuberculous lymph nodes found in a panoramic radiograph including a discussion of the differential diagnosis of this lesion from other soft tissue calcifications. BACKGROUND Concomitant massive submandibular and cervical tuberculosis lymph node calcifications are relatively uncommon lesions and may be encountered on routine...

Many surgeons assess the biological activity of fracture nonunions by the presence or absence of callus on radiographs. However, the assessment of biological activity by radiographic appearance alone is controversial. Bone scintigraphy reflects blood flow and new bone formation; therefore, it is useful in assessing such biological activity in nonunion cases. This retrospective study compared ra...

Radiographic features of 71 patients (48 men, 23 women) with nosocomial Legionella pneumophila pneumonia were assessed and compared with those of other nosocomial series of L pneumophila pneumonia. Sixteen patients were assessed retrospectively and 55 prospectively. Chest radiographs were assessed at the onset of the illness, 10 days later, and at 3 months. Erythromycin was given to 67 patients...

A case is reported where emergency percutaneous splenoportography demonstrated an actively bleeding gastric varix. The radiographic appearance is described and the indications for this procedure are discussed.

background: breast is one of the main radiological sensitive organs, hence it is important to evaluate absorbed dose to this organ especially to the glandular parts. it is the aim of this study to measure mean glandular dose and image contrast in terms of different mammographic parameters. materials and methods: in this study two mammography machines located at said-al shohada (giotto) and shah...
