The place of coronal computed tomography (CT) in the assessment of patients prior to functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is well established. The ability to accurately correlate radiological and surgical anatomy enhances precision and safety during FESS. This pictorial essay reviews the conceptual anatomical framework that forms the basis of FESS.

The aim of this research was to assess the knowledge and practices radiological versus non-radiological health professionals on optimisation radiation protection in paediatric adult radiology BUKAVU hospitals. To achieve this, we surveyed a convenience sample 73 including 23 radiologists working hospitals level implementation principles. Also, physical parameters were taken for calculation entr...

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has sustained interest in radiological protection in computed tomography (CT), and ICRP Publications 87 and 102 focused on the management of patient doses in CT and multi-detector CT (MDCT) respectively. ICRP forecasted and 'sounded the alarm' on increasing patient doses in CT, and recommended actions for manufacturers and users. On...

OBJECTIVES We performed a systematic literature review to analyze the clinical application and the safety of mifepristone, a prominent antiprogesterone agent, in meningioma patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was performed through Medline, Cochrane, and clinicaltrials.gov databases from 1960 to 2014. Study Selection. Studies were selected through a PICO approach. Population wa...

BACKGROUND There is a considerable controversy regarding safety of transvenous lead extraction (TLE) in elderly patients due to their potentially worse general condition, more concomitant diseases, more difficult sedation or analgesia. Moreover, the present experience is not relevant. The aim of the study was the comparison of safety and feasibility of TLE in elderly and middle-aged patients. ...
