Cranial computed tomography in infants and children.
Cranial computed tomography has been performed in adults for the past 2 years but relatively few children have undergone this procedure. The specific uses in children are in detecting intracranial mass lesions and identifying the character of the lesion, and evaluating congenital cranial diseases such as cerebral dysplasia, tuberous sclerosis and leukodystrophies. This safe, rapid, noninvasive ...
متن کاملThe Accuracy of Ultrasonography in Compared with Computed Tomography in Detection of Anterior Mediastinal Neoplasms
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of mediastinal sonography, and compared with CT, in detection of anterior mediastinal neoplasms. Materials and Methods The sonography with convex probes (5.0 and 7.5 MHz) was done prospectively for 34 patients (from 2 to 25 years old) with mediastinal mass. The results were compared with the results of ...
متن کاملBilateral Achilles tendon ossification: diagnosis with ultrasonography and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography. Case report.
Ossification of the Achilles tendon is a rare clinical condition characterized by the presence of one or more segments of variable sized ossified mass within the tendon. The cause of the condition is obscure. We present the case of a 41 year-old male patient with pain in the Achilles tendon due to bilateral ossification of the tendon near the calcaneus insertion. The case was evaluated by ultr...
متن کاملCranial computed tomography in the abused child with head injury.
Cranial computed tomographic (CT) findings are described in 37 children with head injuries resulting from physical abuse. CT findings included subarachnoid hemorrhage (27 patients), cerebral edema (24), cerebral hemorrhage (11), and subdural hematoma (nine). Intravenous contrast material was administered in 10 children in whom there were neurologic symptoms or signs but no history or physical s...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of the Construction of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Facilities in Three South African Hospitals
Introduction: Development of higher energy modalities such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), has led to more complex shielding problems. This is due to several factors, such as the radiopharmaceutical relatively high-administered activity, high patient throughput, and high energies of 511 kilo-electron volt (keV) positron annihilation photon...
