introduction: despite widespread use of 67gallium for lymphoma evaluation, timing of imaging after injection is a matter of controversy and to the extent of our knowledge no direct comparison has been made between early and delayed gallium images. we aimed to compare 24 and 48 hours post injection planar gallium imaging for evaluation of lymphoma recurrence. methods: 255 patients suspicious of...

Introduction: In radionuclide imaging, object scatter is one of the major factors leading to image quality degradation. Therefore, the correction of scattered photons might have a great impact on improving the image quality. Regarding this, the present study aimed to determine the main and sub-energy windows for triple energy window (TEW) scatter correction method usin...

Background & Objective: The current approaches to reduce the risk of colorectal carcinoma are through the detection and removal of the precursor lesion” adenomatous polyps”. The study was conducted to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of p53 and bcl2 in colorectal adenomas and carcinomas. Patients and Methods: A total of 86 cases, 33 colorectal adenomas, 33 colorect...

  Introduction: Geometric distortion is a major shortcoming of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which has an important influence on the accuracy of volumetric measurements, an important parameter in neurology and oncology. Our goal is to design and construct a new three- dimensional phantom using a 3D printer in order to measure geometric distortion and its reproducibility in...

intracranial lipoma is an uncommon entity. a rare type of tumor in the internal auditory canal (iac) and the cerebellopontine angle (cpa) is lipoma. there are a few case reports in the literature related to intravestibular lipoma. herein, we report a case of lipomas within the cerebellopontine angle and vestibule of the inner ear in a patient with tinnitus and dizziness. the patient was evaluat...
