Intracranial silicone oil is a rare complication of intraocular endotamponade with silicone oil. We describe a case of intraventricular silicone oil fortuitously observed 38 months after an intraocular tamponade for a complicated retinal detachment in an 82 year-old woman admitted in the Department of Neurology for a stroke. We confirm the migration of silicone oil along the optic nerve. We dis...

Objective This study was carried out to analyze the effect of varying kilovoltage peak (kVp) on Hounsfield unit (HU) for various tissue substitutes in two different phantoms and their dosimetric impact dose calculation Monaco treatment planning system version 5.11.02. Methods HU density materials obtained from computed tomography images acquired at kVps (80, 100, 120). Two (CatPhan 503 CIRS 062...

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate visceral and subcutaneous fat tissue its association with hepatosteatosis on computed tomography (CT) scans determine cut-off criteria for metabolic syndrome, measure abdominal obesity directly based the area (VFTA) rather than indirectly waist circumference obtain supportive findings by density measurements in addition VFTA measurements.Materials Methods: The Houn...

Failure We have read the recent article entitled “Quantification of Thrombus Hounsfield Units on Noncontrast CT Predicts Stroke Subtype and Early Recanalization after Intravenous Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator” by Puig et al with great interest. We congratulate the authors on their analysis, in which they found that relative Hounsfield unit attenuation of MCA clot was the best predict...

Objective: Differences in bone density before and after regenerative endodontic treatment were examined in teeth with periapical lesions in Hounsfield Units (HUs) by using Cone Beam Computed
