objective(s): in clinical practice, approximately 10-25% of post-surgical differentiated thyroid carcinoma (dtc) patients with high serum thyroglobulin (tg) and negative 131i whole-body scan (wbs) have poor prognosis due to recurrent or metastatic lesions after radioactive iodine treatment. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of 18f-fdg pet/ct scan in dtc patients with high seru...

Background Sixty-four and more-slice cardiac CT provides rapid and high quality coronary CT angiography for the majority of clinical needs of non-invasive evaluation of coronary artery. However, the recent advance of whole-heart coronary MRA has been able to provide high-quality of coronary MRA and also myocardial image in a reasonable scan time. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cl...

background the present data show a global increase in the rate of cardiovascular disease. cardiac ct angiography has developed as a fast and non-invasive cardiac imaging modality following the introduction of multi-slice computed tomogaraphy. conclusions the total mean radiation dose to the thyroid and gonads was 0.36 msv, and 96.5 μsv, respectively for the subjects. these values were high for ...

background outcome determination of head trauma is important for medical decision-making. to determine the consequences by using ct findings, the marshall and rotterdam criteria were introduced. few studies have been conducted to determine the diagnostic value of the rotterdam criteria. objective this study assesses the diagnostic value of the rotterdam criteria score with early outcome for tra...

Abstract Background and Aims Cardiovascular screening of kidney transplant candidates is currently recommended, although the patient value presently questioned. The prognostic ability known, whereas systematic may have less recognized effects such as incidental findings, triggering additional investigations, procedural complications, delay transplantation deselection patients for transplantatio...

Arterial vascular variation of the head and neck is common and is often overlooked because of the lack of obvious clinical symptoms. Variations are generally detected accidentally by head and neck computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) or ultrasound. Considering the lack of adequate understanding of the presence and location of the arterial vascular variatio...
