چکیده
Abstract Introduction Peyronie’s disease (PD) is characterized by penile pain, deformation and curvature, sexual dysfunction, psychological implications. Fibrosis plaque formation are often part of PD pathophysiology. Calcified plaques can alter treatment planning. Penile ultrasound with Doppler (PUS) used to exclude erectile dysfunction identify plaques. However, extent distribution be obscured acoustic shadowing, limiting complete characterization. Non-contrast pelvis computed tomography (CT) provides a noninvasive method in 3 dimensions quantify Ca burden. Objective Our objective was utilize Agatston scoring measure burden patients Peyronie's disease. Methods A retrospective database from 1/1/2017 6/30/2021 identified 25 men calcified on CT after PUS performed single urologist. Two abdominal radiologists reviewed CTs consensus size Visage PACS. Semiautomated values were obtained Syngo.via. Total volume (mm3), total score correlated hourglass deformity clinical exam, complexity (>2 discrete plaques, circumferential corpus cavernosum involvement, septal involvement), surgical management using descriptive statistics t-test. Results Mean 1417 mm3 (range 1.4-5425.7, standard deviation (SD) 1570); mean 1691 1.6-6048; SD 1862) significantly higher complex (265 vs 472 mm3, p<0.05), longer dimension for longest measured US (31 23, p<0.05). There no significant difference nonsurgical (1791 893, p=0.06) or (1173 1904, p=0.19).

متن کاملQuantitative analysis of abdominal aortic calcification in CKD patients without dialysis therapy by use of the Agatston score.
BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of the present study was to quantitatively examine factors associated with aortic calcification in non-dialysis CKD patients. METHODS We quantitatively investigated aortic calcification from the renal artery to the bifurcation in 149 non-dialysis CKD patients (58±16 years; 96 males and 53 females, 48 diabetics; eGFR 40.3 ± 29.3 ml/min), and measured Agatston scores usin...
متن کاملIncremental predictive value for obstructive coronary artery disease by combination of Duke Clinical Score and Agatston score.
AIMS Recent study suggests that algorithms such as the Duke Clinical score (DCS) may overestimate the pretest probability. The Agatston score representing the grade of coronary artery calcification can be simply calculated from low-radiation exposure ECG-gated plain CT. In this study, we investigated whether or not more superior diagnostic performance for obstructive coronary artery disease (CA...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium (CAC) score – a prognostic tool in coronary artery disease?
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of measurement of coronary artery calcification score (CAC) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and a normal myocardial perfusion scan. Methods: In a prospective study we measured the calcium score of 74 patients (29 m, 45 f, mean age 58.7 (m) and 64.4 (f)) with suspicion of CAD and a normal perfusion scan. In ...
متن کاملStatistical Modeling of Agatston Score in Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
The MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) is an ongoing study of the prevalence, risk factors, and progression of subclinical cardiovascular disease in a multi-ethnic cohort. It provides a valuable opportunity to examine the development and progression of CAC (coronary artery calcium), which is an important risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease. In MESA, about half of...
