Rex Shunt Preoperative Imaging: Diagnostic Capability of Imaging Modalities
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic capability of imaging modalities used for preoperative mesenteric-left portal bypass ("Rex shunt") planning. Twenty patients with extrahepatic portal vein thrombosis underwent 57 preoperative planning abdominal imaging studies. Two readers retrospectively reviewed these studies for an ability to confidently determine left portal vein (PV)...
متن کاملDiagnostic Imaging of Non-shunt Liver Disease

متن کاملImaging Modalities in Gynecology
Transabdominal gynecologic ultrasound combined with transvaginal scanning is a technique that was initially introduced in the early 1980’s and quickly became a “musthave” procedure for gynecologists and emergency room physicians for assistance in diagnosing many gynecologic conditions. Rapid advances in the quality of the equipment, techniques used to obtain best images, and research designed t...
متن کاملNewer Imaging Modalities.
The search for greater sensitivity for detecting small subclinical tumor deposits and improved specificity for distinguishing between malignant and benign masses has led to the development of techniques for linking radioactive labels to tumor-specific antibodies or tissue-specific biochemical agents. Major progress is occurring as well in the development of nonspecific physiologic nuclear medic...
