Nodules in Liver Cirrhosis
Regenerative Nodules Regenerative nodules result from grossly distorted hepatic architecture, heterogeneous regeneration and hepatocellular dysplasia. Cirrhosis can be divided by gross pathology into micronodular, macronodular, and mixed form according to appearances of regenerative nodules. The typical appearance of regenerative nodules on MR images includes isointensity or relatively hyperint...
متن کاملA new method for measurement of bone bending stiffness non-invasively by echo tracking
INTRODUCTION: We have attempted to noninvasively assess the bone deformation angle of a fracture healing site under a load using Echo tracking (ET). The ET method can be used to evaluate the bending stiffness, but previous studies [1] have not validated the accuracy of bending stiffness as measured by ET because this was in vivo study. In order to evaluate the accuracy of bending stiffness as d...
متن کاملDid we enjoy the debate but forget the patient?
he number of percutaneous coronary revascularization rocedures performed has skyrocketed in recent years. The ationale for this acceleration has been the rapid and ustained relief of angina with percutaneous coronary revasularization and its ease of delivery relative to surgery. lthough it is clear that for the majority of patients ercutaneous and surgical revascularization therapies serve ainl...
متن کاملNumber of Biopsies in Diagnosing Pulmonary Nodules
PURPOSE To determine the number of specimens to be obtained from pulmonary lesions to get the highest possible accuracy in histological work-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective evaluation (January 1999 to April 2004) covered 260 patients with thoracic lesions who underwent computer tomography (CT)-guided core-cut biopsy in coaxial technique. All biopsies were performed utilizing a 19 ga...
