Background and Objective: Computerized tomography and fluoroscopic computerized tomography are amongst the methods used for guiding needle biopsy processes; however, fluoroscopic computerized tomography demonstrates the images during the process of biopsy. This study aims to compare and contrast the success of biopsy under guide...

background: to determine the prevalence of incidental findings on brain ct scan in mild head trauma patients. methods: from november 2005 to april 2006, we evaluated 732 ct scans of cases with mild head trauma (glasgow coma scale score of thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen), whom referred to our university affiliated hospital. in this study, we evaluated incidental findings on brain ct of our pati...

conclusions performing the routine chest ct in high-energy blunt trauma patients (with a mean injury severity of 9), although leading to the diagnosis of some occult injuries, has no impact on the outcome and does not decrease the in-hospital stay and icu admission time. it seems that performing the routine chest ct in these patients may lead to overtreatment of nonsignificant injuries. the dec...

diagnosis of cardiac tamponade has been mainly based on clinical features and echocardiography. however, ct may be an initial tool for the evaluation of cardiac tamponade because cutting edge ct is increasingly being installed in the emergency room, and presentation of cardiac tamponade can be nonspecific. importantly, ct has better spatial resolution compared with echocardiography. thus, ident...

segmentation and three‑dimensional (3d) visualization of teeth in dental computerized tomography (ct) images are of dentists’ requirements for both abnormalities diagnosis and the treatments such as dental implant and orthodontic planning. on the other hand, dental ct image segmentation is a difficult process because of the specific characteristics of the tooth’s structure. this paper presents ...

abstract background cerebral neoplasm arises from brain, spinal cord and meningeal cells. not only malignant cerebral neoplasm also benign tumor could lead to death due to mass effect on vital structures. access to these tumors is difficult, and mri and ct scan could be helpful in determining anatomical location of tumors and distinction of malignant from benign. objective for better and earlie...

  Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a frequent finding on the chest x-ray and computed tomography. Nuclear medicine techniques play an important role in the diagnosis and management of SPN. In the current review, we briefly will explain the different nuclear medicine modalities in this regard including positron emission tomography (PET) using 18-F-FDG, and 11-C-Methionine, and single photon em...
