Vertebral fractures assessment in children: Evaluation of DXA imaging versus conventional spine radiography

MRI assessment of vertebral fractures identified by conventional radiography in osteoporotic patients: a preliminary study

Comparison of screening strategies for prevalent vertebral fractures in South Korea: vertebral fracture assessment vs. spine radiography

BACKGROUND Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA) is a useful tool to detect the vertebral fracture (VF) with low cost and radiation exposure. We aimed to compare screening strategies including VFA and spine radiography (X-ray) for detecting VF in terms of clinical effectiveness, cost and radiation exposure. METHODS Three screening strategies: 1) X-ray following VFA, 2) VFA only, and 3) X-ray on...

Comparative Evaluation of Ultrasound Against Conventional Radiography in Patients With Nasal Bone Fractures

Introduction: Nasal bone fractures are one of the most common problems in patients who are referred to otolaryngology centers. We aimed to evaluate physical examination, sonography and conventional lateral nasal bone radiography in patients with nasal bone trauma and its relation to intra-operative findings. Methods: This prospective study was performed on 200...

Tissue Doppler Imaging versus Conventional Echocardiography in Evaluation of Cardiac Functions in Diabetes Mellitus

Background: Conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging have been highlighted to diagnose diastolic and systolic heart dysfunction. We aimed to compare tissue Doppler imaging with conventional echocardiography to diagnose heart dysfunctions in diabetes mellitus type 1 (DMT1) patients. <s...
