Inversion injuries of the ankle are a common cause of referral and presentation to accident units. They impose a load on radiographic services. A prospective trial was carried out to determine the accuracy of clinical examination. All patients were assessed clinically then examined radiographically, the clinical assessment missed 5% of the fractures. These, however, were all minor avulsion frac...

BACKGROUND Upper airway obstruction is a common complaint in children presenting to otolaryngology clinics. In such children, adenoid hypertrophy is often suspected. There are numerous ways to determine adenoid size, including palpation, mirror examination, endoscopic examination, lateral neck roentgenogram (X-ray), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and acoustic rhinometry. Pediatric patient co...

Pulmonary barotrauma (PBT) is a recognised risk of compressed gas diving. Any reason that causes air trapping in the lung during ascent may cause PBT by increasing intrapulmonary pressure. Chest x ray examination is mandatory for medical certification of the professional divers in many countries, but pulmonary air trapping lesions such as an air cyst in the lungs cannot always be detected by pl...

Introduction: Paediatric patients deserve special attention because of the higher radiation risks compared with adults. The main purpose of this study is to determine patient dose and diagnostic reference level for Paediatric through Entrance Surface Dose (ESD) calculations in common X-ray examination and to establish Paediatric national DRLs in digital radiography in Iran. <...

 Abstract Bronchoalveolar carcinoma presenting as non-resolving consolidation is an uncommon presentation. The typical presentation of bronchoalveolar carcinoma is asymptomatic (solitary nodule) and remains without symptoms even as disease disseminates. We report a case of bronchoalveolar carcinoma presenting as non-resolving consolidation in a young male with productive cough, exertional ...

Background and Objective: Chest X-ray is usually the first radiography performed for a newborn. This test is easily accessible and yet a basic screening method. Different results have been reported in various studies regarding the diagnostic value of chest X-ray in cardiovascular disease in children. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out retrospectively using the medical files of 100...
