Usefulness of Multidetector Row CT (MDCT) Examination for Craniofacial Traumas: Two Case Reports

Lymph node imaging: multidetector CT (MDCT)

Advances in cross-sectional imaging, including conventional and helical (spiral) CT and multidetector (MDCT) and MR imaging, now allow detailed evaluation of the anatomy and pathology of the neck and thoracic inlet. The major structures are identified by their appearance and that of contrasting fatty tissue planes surrounding the soft tissues. These structures include the larynx, trachea, thyro...

Usefulness of Multidetector-row CT in the Evaluation of Reperfused Myocardial Infarction in a Rabbit Model

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of multidetector-row computed tomography(CT) in the evaluation of reperfused myocardial infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven rabbits were subjected to 90-min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by reperfusion. Multidetector-row CT was performed 31 hours+/-21 after the procedure and pre and post-contrast multiphase helical...

Usefulness of ultrasound examination in larynx traumas in children

BACKGROUND The aim of the paper was to evaluate the usefulness of ultrasonographic examination in diagnosing laryngeal traumas, and monitoring the progress or complications in its treatment. MATERIAL/METHOD In the years 2004-2009, 12 children, including 5 girls and 7 boys with laryngeal injuries, aged 5-12 years, were diagnosed and treated. In all the children, US examination of the neck and ...

Controversies in imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma: multidetector CT (MDCT)

Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant tumor worldwide and represents the most common primary hepatic neoplasm. Staging criteria are important for appreciation of timely work up of these neoplasms in contradiction with surgical colleagues. This article demonstrates the appearance of HCC on multiphasic, multidetector CT (MDCT) and relates these findings to current staging criter...
