Abstract B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL) is an uncommon subtype of pediatric non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) which rarely involves the skin primarily. The positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine- 18] fluoro-D: -glucose integrated with computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan findings of a 8-year-old boy with cutaneous B-LBL were presented. PET/CT scan demonstrated mild FDG up...

A 25-year-old man was admitted in hospital due to right side hemopneumothorax secondary to car accident. A chest tube was inserted. During the hospitalization days, chest CT scan revealed a 3cmx3 cm oval-shaped density located in the right upper lobe. Since he was in a good general condition, he was discharged from hospital after removal of chest tube and a follow-up chest CT-scan was recommend...

Background Currently, almost all patients with probable abdominal injury undergo urinalysis in emergency department (ED). The present survey was conducted with the aim of assessing the diagnostic values of urinalysis compare with abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan with contrast for predicting possible intra-abdominal injuries in children affected by blunt trauma. Materials and Methods: The...

Introduction: Increasing in refer to computed tomography (CT-scan) imaging causes to increase in cumulative dose. Stereoradiography (EOS) is an X-ray imaging technology that, by eliminating scattering radiation, reduces patient's absorption dose and improves image quality.   Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in a hosp...

Background: Medical diagnostic procedures such as X-ray and computed Tomography (CT) scan account for considerable percent of patient's exposure to ionizing radiation. The exposure of cells to Ionization radiation results in induction of DNA damage and chromosomal aberrations. Contrast media (CM) are widely used in diagnostic radiology and CT scan. The aim of this study was to study adverse gen...

background: imaging studies performed in research centers suggest a high prevalence of brain structural abnormalities in patients with epilepsy. however, the results of research studies may not be directly applicable to general clinic, because they may perform on patients with high probability of cerebral abnormalities. on the other hand, more advanced modalities are likely to be used in resear...

Methods Piglets were instrumented and ventilated with TV of corresponding to a strain (TV/FRC) >2.5. The whole study was performed in an animal CT scan facilities equipped as an ICU. Every three hours a CT scan was performed and data on respiratory mechanics were collected. CT scans were analysed and lesions were defined as clearly defined regions of poorly/not inflated tissue (-500/+100 HU) wi...

Background: In intensity modulated radiation therapy, cone beam computed tomography (CT) has been used to evaluate patients prior to treatment. This study conducted a comparative evaluation of the image reconstruction ability of the clinically used half-fan bowtie filter and the full-fan bowtie filter. Materals and Methods: A CT simulation marker was inserted inside a human phantom, and the pel...
