Diagnostic accuracy of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in evaluation for mediastinal invasion of esophageal cancer.
OBJECTIVE Determine diagnostic accuracy of evaluation for mediastinal invasion of esophageal cancer by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) as compared with post-operative histopathology staging. MATERIAL AND METHOD The present study retrospectively analyzed the 64-slice MDCT of twenty-one patient's diagnosis with esophageal cancer who received surgical treatment in Siriraj Hospital. Pati...
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 کاملMultidetector computed tomography versus platelet/spleen diameter ratio as methods for the detection of gastroesophageal varices
BACKGROUND All patients with liver cirrhosis should undergo screening endoscopy, but there are limitations and this approach places a heavy burden upon endoscopy units. The aim of this study was to compare multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and the platelet/spleen diameter ratio as non-invasive methods for the detection of gastroesophageal varices. METHODS The study included 38 cirrhoti...

BACKGROUND Objective; To find out the role of MDCT in the evaluation of obstructive jaundice with respect to the cause and level of the obstruction, and its accuracy. To identify the advantages of MDCT with respect to other imaging modalities. To correlate MDCT findings with histopathology/surgical findings/Endoscopic Retrograde CholangioPancreatography (ERCP) findings as applicable. MATERIAL...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography in patients with angiographically proven coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy in detecting high-grade coronary stenoses in patients with known coronary artery disease (CAD) using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). BACKGROUND The MDCT systems with electrocardiographic (ECG)-gating permit visualization of the coronary arteries. However, severe calcifications and higher heart rates are ...
