Fig. 1. Multi-slice ECG-gated CT scan (slice thickness, 1.25 mm). (A) Contrast enhanced axial image, the right pulmonary artery was completely occluded by a mass (arrowhead). Endovascular component and extension into the surrounding pulmonary parenchyma were well shown. (B) 3D volume-rendered reconstruction (oblique view) shows the extension (arrowheads) and bronchial artery hypertrophy (arrows...

The authors report a case of Fielding type II acute atlanto-axial rotatory fixation (AARF). The CT scan with coronal reconstruction showed an avulsion of the apical and right alar ligament. These findings are exceptionally reported in the literature, especially concerning the apical ligament which might be a stabiliser in flexion and extension of the occipitocervical joint.

Figure 1 CT-scan showed right frontal extra-axial collections suggesting an acute extradural hematoma (white arrows) associated to chronic subdural hematoma (black arrows). However, craniotomy showed that the supposed chronic subdural hematoma was a typical subdural empyema. This image illustrates the possible association between epidural hematoma and subdural empyema in patients with craniofac...

Purpose. To determine whether axial MR imaging could replace bone scan as the primary staging test in newly diagnosed CaP. Material and Methods. We reviewed retrospectively all bone scans (n = 1201) performed in newly diagnosed CaP patients from 2000 to 2010 in a single tertiary academic center. We recorded patient age, ethnicity, PSA at diagnosis, TNM stage, Gleason score, alkaline phosphatase...

Diameter of IVC on CT axial section is a important predictor of hypotension in blunt abdominal trauma. CT scan of abdomen is usually requested whenever there is hemoperitoneum/ free fluid noted on FAST USG imaging in emergency department. The diameter of IVC was measured at infrarenal part. In our review of 25 cases of MDCT abdomen in blunt abdominal trauma, 40% of the cases had FIVC and there ...

Figure 1: Axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography (A) shows heterogeneous hepatic parenchyma and ascites, as well as widely dilated venous collateral in the left haemithorax. The dilated venous collateral joined the middle and left hepatic veins. Sagittal CT scan (B) shows membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava. DVC: dilated venous collateral; LHV: left hepatic vein; MHV: middle h...

A 9 years old patient presented with swelling and severe pain in right eye with diplopia; with normal visual acuity. CT scan of paranasal sinus revealed right eye axial proptosis and dehiscence in lamina papyracia. After thorough investigation, patient was posted for surgical drainage and decompression of the right orbit. Patient, improved after surgery and followed regularly for last 2 months.

background: this study set out to evaluate the utility of cerebrovascular virtual non-contrast (vnc) scans. materials and methods: conventional non-contrast (cnc) and dual-energy computed tomography angiography (de-cta) head scans were conducted on 100 subjects, of which 46 were normal, 15 had parenchymal hematomas of the brain, 13 had ischemic infarction, 22 had tumors, and 4 had calcified les...

.m ed kn ow An 18-year-old girl working as a lifeguard in a swimming pool presented with a fall on the slippery wet floor of the pool, landing on her right shoulder and back of her head. She had pins and needles in the fingertips of the right upper limb. She did not have any neurological deficits. Computed topographic scan (CT) of cervical spine showed evidence of rotatory atlantoaxial dislocat...
