Fracture detection in the cervical spine with multidetector CT: 1-mm versus 3-mm axial images.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Multidetector CT imaging of the cervical spine performed with submillimeter collimation allows for the production of excellent quality multiplanar reformations and reconstructed axial images at any chosen section thickness. Currently there is no consensus on what images need to be reviewed for accurate diagnosis of cervical spine fractures. Our study assesses whether 1-mm...
متن کاملAssessment of global left ventricular systolic function with multidetector CT and 2D echocardiography: a comparison between reconstructions of 1-mm and 2-mm slice thickness at multidetector CT.
PURPOSE To compare multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2DE) for left ventricular ejection fraction (EF); and to make comparison between reconstructions of 1-mm and 2-mm slice thickness at MDCT in left ventricular analysis by using a semiautomated segmentation algorithm. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 43 patients global left ventricular systol...
متن کاملCan 5-mm Axial CT Images Sufficiently Depict the Hyperdense Middle Cerebral Artery Sign in Patients with Acute Brain Ischemia?
The purpose of this study was to determine whether 5-mm axial CT images can sufficiently depict the hyperdense middle cerebral artery (MCA) sign in patients with acute brain ischemia. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 92 cases of ischemic brain infarction confirmed nine patients showing hyperdense MCA signs. CT images were acquired on a 64-slice helical scanner. Images were recon...
متن کاملComparison of 3 mm versus 4 mm rigid endoscope in diagnostic nasal endoscopy☆
Objective Compare nasal endoscopy with 3 mm versus conventional 4 mm rigid 30° endoscopes for visualization, patient comfort, and examiner ease. Methods Ten adults with no previous sinus surgery underwent bilateral nasal endoscopy with both 4 mm and 3 mm endoscopes (resulting in 20 paired nasal endoscopies). Visualization, patient discomfort and examiner's difficulty were assessed with every ...
متن کاملHydatid Disease of the Cervical Spine Mimicking Traumatic Burst Fracture
Background & Importance: Hydatid disease of the spine is rare but constitutes approximately 50% of bone involvement cases in human hydatidosis. It is a severe condition associated with a high rate of morbidity, disability and mortality. Case Presentation: In the present paper, we report an intriguing case of cervical spinal hydatid disease mimicking traumatic burst fracture. Con...
