OBJECTIVE To report a case of cancer of the colon which presented as secondaries to the ovaries. METHOD Case report. SUMMARY The case presented is that of a 39-year-old female who presented with lower abdominal pain and a multinodular pelvic mass which led to an initial diagnosis of multiple uterine fibroids and pelvic inflammatory disease. The presence of a colonic mass was first suggested...

BACKGROUND Traumatic pelvic injuries are often associated with severe, life-threatening hemorrhage, and immediate medical treatment is therefore vital. However, patient prognosis depends heavily on the type, location and severity of the bone fracture, and the complexity of the pelvic structure presents diagnostic challenges. Automated fracture detection from initial patient X-ray images can ass...

Background Ultrasound is the first line modality in evaluation of pelvic masses in female patients. It is helpful in detection of masses and also in determining origin of them. Tissue characterization is possible with gray scale but Doppler study is quite necessary and considers as complimentary method. Most of the time, it should be performed in vaginal US exam. Existence of vascularity and al...

Surgical intervention within the pelvic region can lead to postoperative deficits of urinary, fecal, and sexual function. Intraoperative neuromonitoring in the pelvic region (pIONM) may dramatically improve the quality of living of patients after colorectal cancer surgery. Minimizing the invasiveness of the method is a top priority for intelligent assistive technologies. Following several compu...

PURPOSE The aim of this prospective study is to validate a vector arithmetic method for measuring acetabular cup orientation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and to verify the clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured cup anteversion and inclination of 123 patients after cementless primary THA twice by two examiners on AP pelvic radiographs with a vector arithmetic method and com...

Purpose. The current study aimed to evaluate whether combined application of ultrasound and CT had increased Diagnostic Value in Female Patients with Pelvic Masses over either method alone. Patients and Methods. 240 female patients with pelvic masses were detected preoperatively with ultrasound and CT prior to surgery. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of ultrasound, CT, and combined u...

BACKGROUND Numerous structural deformities of the acetabulum are associated with hip osteoarthritis (OA). Acetabular retroversion has been implicated in the development of femoroacetabular impingement. However, it is unknown if retroversion occurs from isolated excessive bone in the superior acetabulum or a torsional phenomenon of the entire pelvic segment. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES A method was dev...

Background: Medical X-rays are the largest man-made source of public exposure to ionizing radiation. While the benefits of Computed Tomography (CT) are well known in accurate diagnosis, those benefits are not risk-free. CT is a device with higher patient dose in comparison with other conventional radiation procedures. Objective: This study is aimed at evaluating radiation dose to patients from ...
