Prior to the new system, patients required a minimum of two visits for their annual review, which incurred additional costs, such as travel, booking and included risk cancellations. The study’s purpose is develop ‘one-stop’ review process. Aims–To ensure patient’s assessments are completed in an efficient manner. Facilitate services commissioning targets. Reduce costs wasted productive time. Co...

Background Among the modalities for lung imaging, proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been the latest to be introduced into clinical practice. Its value to replace Xray and computed tomography (CT) when radiation exposure or iodinated contrast material is contra-indicated is well acknowledged: i.e. for paediatric patients and pregnant women or for scientific use. One of the reasons why ...

INTRODUCTION Chest x-rays (CXR) are routinely obtained on blunt trauma patients. Many patients also receive additional imaging with thoracic computed tomography scans for other indications. We hypothesized that in hemodynamically normal, awake and alert blunt trauma patients, CXR can be deferred in those who will also receive a TCT with significant cost savings. METHODS We retrospectively rev...

An 81yearold woman was brought to the emergency department with acute onset of shaking chills. She had no upper respiratory tract symptoms and chest, back, or abdominal pains before the arrival to the hospital. Her only regular medication was a nifedipine for hypertension. On examination, she was illappearing and had shaking chills. The blood pressure was 170/87 mmHg in the right upper extremit...

Background -The purpose of this study is to show the role of high-resolution CT scan (HRCT) in diagnosing active pulmonary tuberculosis. tree-in bud appearance in HRCT is more sensitive than chest X-ray in detection of early endobronchial spread, 97% of patients with active pulmonary TB had evidence of bronchogenic spread of the disease on HRCT. Materials & Methods-One hundred clinically suspec...

A 5-day-old male neonate was referred for removal of foreign body. Baby had accidentally ingested a gold finger ring presented to her by grandmother. Baby was brought to outside hospital in stable clinical condition. Initial Xray neck and chest showed radio-opaque foreign body at level of cricopharynx. Baby was posted for rigid esophagoscopy under anesthesia. But foreign body was not found in t...

TOPIC: Chest Infections TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Pneumocystis jirovecii (PJP) can cause a life-threatening opportunistic infection in patients with HIV, especially those not treated HAART and CD4 count less than 200 cells/mcL. Diagnosis of PJP HIV is typically made bronchoscopy very high diagnostic yield bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). IRIS describes the paradoxic...

Background: Biloma is a rare abnormal localized accumulation of bile out of biliary tree due to an injury. It has different non-specific clinical features and its diagnosis is based on clinical signs, radiologic findings and chemical analysis of aspirated liquid. Considering the non-specific clinical features, early diagnosis and treatment can have an effective role in the decrease of complicat...

During its first four years of life, the TOMCAT beamline [1] at the Swiss Light Source has established itself as a state‐of‐the art hard x‐ray tomographic microscopy endstation for experiments on a large variety of samples, ranging from the fields of biology to materials science. It routinely performs absorption as well as phase‐contrast imaging with an isotropic voxel size ranging from 0.360 u...
