Small nodules detected on chest radiography: does size predict calcification?
STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine whether the likelihood of lung nodule calcification can be predicted from nodule size as measured on a chest radiograph (CXR). DESIGN Retrospective review of CXRs of patients with lung nodules < or =1 cm in size detected on CT scanning. CT images were used to identify calcifications and to provide spatial localization for readers to visualize nodules on a CXR and...
متن کاملCan stone density on plain radiography predict the outcome of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for ureteral stones?
PURPOSE The objective was to determine whether stone density on plain radiography (kidney-ureter-bladder, KUB) could predict the outcome of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for ureteral stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 223 patients treated by ESWL for radio-opaque ureteral stones of 5 to 20 mm were included in this retrospective study. All patients underwent routine blood a...
متن کاملPositioning long lines: contrast versus plain radiography.
AIM To assess the value of contrast versus plain radiography in determining radio-opaque long line tip position in neonates. METHODS In a prospective study, plain radiography was performed after insertion of radio-opaque long lines. If the line tip was not visible on the plain film, a second film with contrast was obtained in an attempt to visualise the tip. RESULTS Sixty eight lines were i...
متن کاملDoes ampullary adenoma size predict invasion on EUS? Does invasion on EUS predict presence of malignancy?
Background and study aims: It is common practice to perform ampullectomy without endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for ampullary lesions < 1 cm but no data exists to support it. No studies have explored whether EUS findings of invasion correlate with malignancy or high-grade dysplasia (HGD) on pathology. We explored the association between adenoma size, pathology results, and invasion on EUS. Patien...
متن کاملDoes the normal four steps weight-bearing rule predict the need for radiography in cases of blunt ankle trauma?
Background: Ankle injuries are one of the most common complaints of patients presenting to emergency departments (ED). The Ottawa ankle rules (OAR) was introduced to help physicians to decide who may require x-ray for blunt injuries. The present study aimed at validating the four steps weight-bearing rule of OAR as a sole criterion. Methods: This prospective observational study wa...
