Tomographic renal cortical scintigraphy: Correlation with intravenous urography, computed tomography, ultrasonography, angiography, and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging

Bimodal magnetic resonance imaging-computed tomography nanoprobes: A Review

Bimodal imaging combines two imaging modalities in order to benefit from their advantages and compensate the limitations of each modality. This technique could accurately detect diseases for diagnostic purposes. Nanoparticles simultaneously offer diagnostic data via various imaging modalities owing to their unique properties. Moreover, bimodal nanoprobes could be incorporated into theranostic s...

Portosystemic shunts in dogs and cats: imaging portosystemic shunts in small animals – ultrasonography, nuclear scintigraphy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging

Because of the non-specificity of the clinical signs and laboratory findings, imaging techniques such as portography, ultrasonography (US), nuclear scintigraphy, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are required to provide a definitive diagnosis of portosystemic shunts (PSSs). Nuclear scintigraphy is the gold standard for detecting PSSs, but it is not useful in distingu...

Evaluation of Obstructive Uropathy with Computed Tomography Urography and Magnetic Resonance Urography - A Clinicoradiological study

Magnetic Resonance Urography in Patients with Non- Contributory Intravenous Urography

Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) is increaingly replacing Intravenous Urography (IVU) which has been the traditional modality for uro-imaging. However, the effectiveness and advantages of this new and costly modality need to be proven before defining its place in the uro-radiological armamentarium. We conducted a prospective study to assess the role of MRU in 100 consecutive cases where IVU w...

Renal leiomyoma: ultrasonography and computed tomography features with histopathologic correlation.

Renal leiomyomas are not uncommon mesenchymal neoplasms of the kidney, found in 5% of autopsy specimens and comprising 0.3% of all treated tumors. These tumors arise from the smooth muscle cells of the kidney and are mostly located in the renal capsule. Typical imaging features of renal leiomyomas include a peripheral location, well-defined margins, and hyperattenuation on nonenhanced computed ...
