The detective quantum efficiency (DQE) and the effective DQE (eDQE) are relevant metrics of image quality for digital radiography detectors and systems, respectively. The current study further extends the eDQE methodology to technique optimization using a new metric of the effective dose efficiency (eDE), reflecting both the image quality as well as the effective dose (ED) attributes of the ima...

Abstract Worldwide, more than 50 million children and adolescents participate in organized athletic programs annually. Despite the numerous health well-being benefits, this widespread involvement also leads to acute overuse injuries that account for millions of medical visits each year. Musculoskeletal injury childhood may lead growth disturbance lifelong disability. Imaging plays a critical ro...

Introduction:Pediatric pelvic fractures are most commonly associated with high energy fractures, mostly due to motor vehicle accidents. Children poorly tolerate any significant blood loss, so, child presents a fracture must be investigated for multi-organ injury, or possible life -threatening retroperitoneal hemorrhage, an increased potential death. Method: A literature search was conducted inc...

OBJECTIVE Educational teaching of the diagnosis of resorbed root for pulpectomy in deciduous teeth radiography has always been a big challenge in pediatric dentistry. The purpose of the study was to propose a new practical methodology to improve the quality of learning in students of dentistry. MATERIALS AND METHODS Extracted deciduous teeth were molded in the transparent epoxy resin as their...

Objective: To analyze the indications for chest (CXR) radiography, radiological abnormalities and the clinical predictors for pneumonia in children who present with acute wheeze to the pediatric emergency department.

OBJECTIVE Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is an uncommon disorder, which is characterized by recurrent hemoptysis, iron deficiency anemia and diffuse parenchymal infiltration on chest radiographs in pediatric patients. We wish to present clinical and radiological (plain radiography and CT) findings of this rare pathology. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 14-year-old girl was ...

PURPOSE To determine the utility of pulse oximetry as a routine fifth vital sign in acute pediatric assessment. DESIGN Prospective study using pulse oximetry to measure oxygen saturation in children presenting to emergency department triage. Saturation values were disclosed to clinicians only after they had completed medical evaluations and were ready to discharge or admit each child. We meas...

RATIONALE Pelvic malunion is a rare complication and is technically challenging to correct owing to the complex three-dimensional (3D) geometry of the pelvic girdle. Hence, precise preoperative planning is required to ensure appropriate correction. Reconstructive surgery is generally a 2- or 3-stage procedure, with transiliac osteotomy serving as an alternative to address limb length discrepanc...

hydatid disease (hd) is a parasitic infection that is most commonly caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus. unusual location for this disease can cause diagnostic and therapeutic problems. we herein report a case of sacrococcygeal hd at an unusual location in a 30-year-old woman. she was evaluated using computed tomography (ct) imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) after t...
