Abstract:

Cervical abnormalities may be congenital or acquired. Congenital anomalies of the cervix are rarely isolated, and more commonly accompany other uterine anomalies. Various imaging tools have been used in the assessment of Mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs). Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for definitive diagnosis and classification of the MDAs. Hysterosalpingography is a basic tool for evaluation of infertility and allows us to detect a spectrum of anatomical malformations of utero-cervix in the setting of MDAs. It provides good outlines of uterine cavity, and fallopian tubes as well as the cervical canal and isthmus. However, HSG cannot be performed in patients with isolated congenital maldevelopment (agenesis/disgenesis) of the cervix. This part of pictorial review illustrates the various radiographic appearances of the congenital malformation of utero-cervix with a brief overview of the embryologic features. Accurate diagnosis of such cases is considered essential for optimal treatment, and categorization of each anomaly.

Fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Congenital Renal Anomalies: A Pictorial Review

Congenital renal anomalies comprise a vast spectrum of pathologies and are often associated with oligohydramnios, which can make prenatal ultrasonography (US) evaluation difficult. However, fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is less affected by the diminished amniotic fluid and can provide superior image quality. Understanding of fetal renal anomalies and associated malformations is essenti...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
