introduction: squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is the most common head and neck malignancy. to decrease the side effects of treatment and mortality from disease relapse, careful staging for the proper treatment plan is necessary. the main purpose of this prospective study is to compare the diagnostic value of computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance im-aging (mri) in oral scc and its lymph ...

Epiploic appendagitis is a rare condition resulting from an acute inflammation of an appendix epiploica. Epiploic appendagitis is frequently misdiagnosed as either acute appendicitis or acute diverticulitis, and the diagnosis is usually made during surgery. Epiploic appendagitis is a rare, self-limiting condition, which can be easily diagnosed with computed tomography (CT). Imaging with CT may ...

Objective: Cognitive therapy (CT) and behavior (BT) are both effective for insomnia but expected to work via different pathways. Empirically, little is known about their symptom-specific effects. Method: This was a secondary analysis of randomized controlled trial online treatment disorder (N = 219, 72.9% female, mean age 52.5 years, SD 13.9). Participants were CT (n 72), BT 73), or wait-list 7...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to review the patterns of lung abnormalities of pulmonary cryptococcosis on CT images, position emission tomography (PET) findings of the disease, and the response of lung abnormalities to the therapies in non-AIDS patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated the initial CT (n = 23) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET (n = 10), and follow-up (n = 23) imaging findings of pu...

a 25-year-old man was admitted in hospital due to right side hemopneumothorax secondary to car accident. a chest tube was inserted. during the hospitalization days, chest ct scan revealed a 3cmx3 cm oval-shaped density located in the right upper lobe. since he was in a good general condition, he was discharged from hospital after removal of chest tube and a follow-up chest ct-scan was recommend...

Objective: Since open surgical evacuation of basal ganglia hemorrhage (BGH) as had been proved did not lead to the desired benefit for the patients, we used minimally invasive clot lysis by injection of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA). Methods: Patients with spontaneous BGH with or without accompanied intraventricular hemorrhage were included in the study. Following diagnos...

Incidental extra-osseous uptake of 99mTc-MDP on bone scintigraphy has been frequently reported in the literature; however, calcification of the psoas muscle is a rare condition, which has been reported on magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imagings. Here we report a 67-year-old woman with acute paraplegia and low back pain who was referred for a 99mTc-MDP...
