چکیده
Introduction: Abdominal injury constitutes a significant portion of all blunt and penetrating body injuries. As frequency of intra-abdominal injuries continues to increase worldwide, management in patients with suspected abdominal injury is getting more complex. CT is an important and fast technique which gives rapid information on the type of abdominal injury and helps in management of the patient. Aims and Objectives: Determine the usefulness of MDCT findings in deciding the management of patients with blunt abdominal trauma and To diagnose and grade various abdominal injuries in trauma using MDCT. Materials and Methods: This Prospective Study is carried out in patients admitted to our hospital with history of BAT during the period of September 2014 to September 2016. A total of 50 patients with BAT who underwent CT examination were included using SOMATOM EMOTION 16 slice MDCT. CT findings were compared with surgical findings in operated cases and rest were compared with the clinical outcome. Results: Among the 50 cases studied, 46 had positive CT findings of abdominal trauma, out of which 25 patients underwent surgery and the remaining were managed conservatively. In this study, the commonest organs affected were spleen and liver accounting for 40% and 20% respectively. Conclusion: CT is an important imaging technique for diagnosis of organ injuries in patients with abdominal trauma. It helps in grading of the type of injury and deciding the management of patient. It is a highly sensitive imaging modality for the diagnosis of abdominal injuries.

Protective effects of pomegranate seed oil on ovariectomized rats as a model of postmenopausal osteoporosis: A multi-detector computed tomography evaluation
The pomegranate seed oil (PSO), containing 17-α-estradiol, is one of the newly found phytosterols with synergistic health effects on estrogen related physiological conditions. Herein, PSO was assessed for its potential improving effects on bone characteristics in a rat model of menopausal syndrome. Three month old non-pregnant female Wistar rats (n = 30) were either sham-operated (SHAM) or ovar...

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) in addition to plain radiographs influences radiologists’ and orthopedic surgeons’ diagnosis and treatment plans for delayed unions and non-unions. Methods: A retrospective database of 32 non-unions was reviewed by 20 observers. On a scale of 1 to 5, observers rated on X-Ray and a...
متن کاملAssessment of X-Ray Crosstalk in a Computed Tomography Scanner with Small Detector Elements Using Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: Crosstalk is a leakage of X-ray or light produced in a matrix of X-ray detectors or array of photodiodes in one element to other elements affecting on image contrast and spatial resolution. In this study, we assessed X-ray crosstalk in a computed tomography (CT) scanner with small detector elements to estimate the effect of various parameters such as X-ray tube voltage, detector e...

We present two cases of patients with celiomesenteric trunk in whom the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery arise off a common vessel from the ventral part of the aorta, which was demonstrated by multi-detector (16 slices) computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA). This is a very rare congenital vascular anomaly and its imaging de...
