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...

introduction radiation exposures from diagnostic medical examinations are generally low and are almost always justified by the benefits of accurate diagnosis of possible disease conditions. therefore, entrance skin dose (esd), body organ dose (bod), and effective dose (ed) from adult patients undergoing routine thorax posterior-anterior (pa) and thorax right lateral (rlat) were estimated in uni...

background: computed tomography (ct) scan is one the most useful devices in chest imaging. ct scan can be used in mediastinal abnormality, lungs, and pleural evaluations. according to the high prevalence and different causes of pulmonary nodules, we designed this study to evaluate the prevalence and the types of pulmonary nodules in noncancerous patients who underwent chest multi-detector ct (m...

abstract necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis (nsg) is a rare disease which is classified in the spectrum of pulmonary angiitis and granulomatosis. it is a variant of sarcoidosis and differs from it histologically. diagnosis is based on the pathological features, but radiology may help in the differential diagnosis. it is characterized by alveolar infiltrates or parenchymal nodules in multidetect...

pulmonary adenocarcinoma is one of the major types of lung cancers in which metastasis is not uncommon. hereby, we report a case of pulmonary adenocarcinoma with multiple muscular, cutaneous, pancreatic and peritoneal metastases. actually, all these features occurring in one patient makes it an extraordinary case. a rare anatomic variation, double inferior vena cava (ivcs), was another rare man...
