Price of Isotropy in Multidetector CT

Ring artefact in multidetector CT.

To cite: Artul S. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013201379 DESCRIPTION High-resolution tomographic images acquired with a digital X-ray detector are often degraded by the so-called ring artefacts. Ring artefacts are the concentric rings superimposed on tomographic images. Artefacts in general can seriously degrade the quality of multidetector CT ...

Multidetector CT of pancreatic hemangiopericytoma

Hemangiopericytoma is an aggressive, highly metastatic tumor of the soft tissues and meninges. Metastases have been reported in the liver, lungs, bones and rarely other organs. To the best of our knowledge, 18 cases of pancreatic metastases have been reported, but none have been described in the radiology literature. We report a case of hemangiopericytoma with metastasis to the pancreas and des...

Revolution next--the multidetector CT.

Multidetector CT urography of renal fusion anomalies.

Renal fusion anomalies, in which both kidneys are fused togeher in early embyronic life, are rarely encountered. Once a fused kidney is diagnosed or suspected, further laboratory and imaging evaluation should be performed to assess the status of the kidneys and to look for treatable causes of renal pathology. The early dignosis of potential complications that can accompany this anomaly must be ...

Multidetector CT of emergent biliary pathologic conditions.

Various biliary pathologic conditions can lead to acute abdominal pain. Specific diagnosis is not always possible clinically because many biliary diseases have overlapping signs and symptoms. Imaging can help narrow the differential diagnosis and lead to a specific diagnosis. Although ultrasonography (US) is the most useful imaging modality for initial evaluation of the biliary system, multidet...
