introduction: having knowledge about the anatomy of root canal system is essential for success of endodontic treatment. the present study used cone-beam computed tomography (cbct), to evaluate the prevalence of third root in mandibular first molars in a selected iranian population. methods and materials: a total of 386 cbct images from subjects referred to oral and maxillofacial radiology depar...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to evaluate a new method for superimposition of 3-dimensional (3D) models of growing subjects. METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography scans were taken before and after Class III malocclusion orthopedic treatment with miniplates. Three observers independently constructed 18 3D virtual surface models from cone-beam computed tomography scans of 3 patie...

Study Design Computed tomography-based cohort study. Objective Although there are publications concerning the relationship between the vertebral artery and uncinate process, there is no practical guide detailing the dimensions of this region to use during decompression of the intervertebral foramen. The purpose of this study is to determine the anatomic parameters that can be used as a guide fo...

CONTEXT Intracranial hemorrhage must be excluded prior to administration of thrombolytic agents in acute stroke. OBJECTIVE To evaluate physician accuracy in cranial computed tomography scan interpretation for determining eligibility for thrombolytic therapy in acute stroke. DESIGN Administration of randomly selected, randomly ordered series of 15 computed tomography scans from a pool of 54 ...

Abstract Head fixation devices are frequently used to immobilize the position of head in neurosurgery. We report a rare complication four-pin Sugita device causing epidural hematoma (EDH) young adult male undergoing transcranial excision craniopharyngioma manifesting intraoperatively as an intractable tense brain. Decreased bone mineral density secondary metabolic consequences could have increa...

We conducted this study to determine if artificial neural network modeling would predict cranial computed tomography results in head injury patients using different combinations of clinical variables. 150 consecutive patients admitted to a regional trauma center with head injury were enrolled in the study. The CT was labeled with presence of surgically significant intracranial hematoma (SSIH), ...

In this case report we present a diabetic patient with isolated, pupil-sparing, incomplete inferior division third cranial nerve palsy. Laboratory tests for the evaluation of thyroid function, infection, myasthenia gravis and autoimmune diseases were normal. Cranial computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography also showed normal findings. Accordingly, diabe...

Sixty-four (57.6%) of 111 cancer patients with cerebrospinal fluid cytology positive for malignant cells had cranial computed tomographic (CT) scans within 2 weeks before or after a lumbar puncture. Twenty-two (34.3%) of the 64 had abnormal CT findings indicative of leptomeningeal metastasis: (1) sulcal-cisternal enhancement, (2) ependymal-subependymal enhancement, (3) widened irregular tentori...
