Intestinal obstruction, a correlation between operative and radiological findings

Internal hernia after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a correlation between radiological and operative findings.

BACKGROUND Even though internal hernia (IH) after a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is a well-known entity for bariatric surgeons and radiologists, accurate diagnosis remains difficult. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of ten different CT findings in patients with a proven internal hernia after a LRYGB. METHODS A retrospective analysis of all...

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula: correlation between radiological and clinical findings.

OBJECT The pathophysiology of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) results in perimedullary venous congestion and in turn central cord congestion. Clinically, this presents with progressive neurological dysfunctions that, if diagnosed in a timely fashion, can be at least halted and in part reversed. In SDAVFs, imaging features on MRI and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) have not be...

Abstract: Correlation Between Lymphedema Disease Severity and Lymphoscintigraphic Findings: A Clinical-Radiological Study

INTRODUCTION: Lymphoscintigraphy is the gold-standard test for diagnosing lymphedema, and is 96% sensitive for detecting the disease. The major abnormal lymphoscintigraphic findings on the test include delayed transit time to the inguinal or axillary lymph nodes (>1 hour) and dermal backflow. A universal protocol for the test does not exist, our protocol obtains images at 1, 2, and 4 hour inter...

Correlation between thigh pain and radiological findings with a proximally porous-coated stem.

Thigh pain has been consistently reported with cementless hip arthroplasty. The correlation between thigh pain and radiological findings and the clinical significance of thigh pain have not been studied in any detail. We carried out a retrospective study to analyse the performance of a proximally porous-coated cementless femoral component. Ninety-eight total hip arthroplasties were followed up ...
