We present the case of a 65-year-old woman diagnosed years ago of “hiatus hernia”. For a few weeks she presents subocclusive crises, because of it, she is studied in our center. In thorax X-ray, intestinal content is estimated in right hemithorax. The herniary default and its content is identified with clarity and accuracy in multiplanar reconstruction thorax –abdomen CT scan (Fig. 1), as well ...

173 on the right side and coarse crackles are heard on right infrascapular region. A presumptive diagnosis of right lower lobe pneumonia with synpneumonic effusion was made. Blood routine and sputum examinations were within normal limits. Her symptoms responded to antibiotic and symptomatic measures. The follow-up X-ray showed a nonhomogenous opacity in the right lower zone [Figure 1]. Computed...

The current work describes an anthropomorphic beating heart phantom constructed as a tool for the assessment of technological advances in cardiac x-ray computed tomography (CT). The phantom is comprised of a thorax, a compressor system, an ECG system, a beating heart with tortuous coronary arteries, and the option to add or remove pathologies such as aberrant beats, stents, and plaques. Initial...

BACKGROUND We report the case of a 72-year-old female complaining of hemoptysis due to a thoracic-abdominal knitting needle inserted 33 years ago for self-induced abortion. CASE PRESENTATION The PA/LL chest x-ray showed a metallic foreign body on thorax extending into the abdomen. An CT examination confirmed the transdiaphragmatic knitting needle extending from liver into right upper lobe. ...

Gangliogliomas represent only 0.4% of central nervous system neoplasms and 1.3% of brain tumors. They are benign neoplasms with low morbidity and mortality and the patients usually present with seizures, but there has been no adult ganglioglioma with lytic skull lesion. A 49-year-old right handed woman suffering from generalized epileptic seizures was admitted to our hospital. She had also left...

Covid-19 is a new infectious viral illness. The first one appeared in Wuhan, and within two months, it became pandemic. Medical diagnosis confirmed by fever, cough, shortness of breath, combined with neutrophil ratio lymphocyte analysis chest x-ray or ­C.T. radiology imaging, ground-glass appearance. C.T. scans are not widely available hospitals Indonesia. Many only own for covid-19 as radiolog...

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the thorax, including bronchial and thymic neuroendocrine NETs, are often referred to as NETs of the foregut. The incidence and prevalence of NETs are increasing in the United States as demonstrated in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results from 1973 to 2004 (J Clin Oncol. 2008;26[18]:3063-3072). Although the majority of bronchial and thymic NETs are spo...

Biomedical x-ray imaging has proven to be an indispensable component of many medical diagnostic and treatment techniques. Major technical advances over the years, culminating in helical scanning, multi slice, x-ray computed tomography, can now provide ∼ 0.5 mm resolution 3D images of the spatial distribution of tissue attenuation coefficients of an entire adult human thorax or abdomen. The util...
