OBJECTIVE To compare the mean optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) versus normal healthy individuals using B-scan ultrasonography as diagnostic tool. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional analytical study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Armed Forces Institute of Radiology and Imaging, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from June to December 2015. METHODOLO...

The evolution of severe periventricular leukomalacia was followed by ultrasonography in three newborn infants, and the subsequent myelination of the brain was assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. Four stages of periventricular leukomalacia could be identified by ultrasonography; (1) initial congestion, followed by (2) relative normalisation, (3) development of cysts, and (4) resoluti...

One strategy was compression ultrasonography, followed by anticoagulation in case of positive results (high probability ventilation-perfusion (VQ) scans) or by VQ scan or spiral computed tomography (CT) in case of negative results. Low probability VQ scans resulted in no treatment, whereas high probability VQ scans resulted in anticoagulation. Intermediate tests were followed by a second test (...

Ultrasonography and computed tomography scan with hypo echoic areas diagnosed a splenic infarction in a Salmonella typhi infected 30-year-old man with painful hypochondrium and epigastrium. An antibiotic recipe of ceftriaxone and amikacin resulted in recovery. Imaging techniques contribute remarkably to a rapid diagnosis and rational management of the extra intestinal lesions attributable to th...

Background: Intussusception is one of the most common abdominal emergencies in children. While majority childhood intussusceptions are ilecolic and idiopathic, small bowel rare a pathological trigger often blamed for etiology. Ultrasonography commonly used diagnostic tool diagnosis intussusception.
 Objectives: To determine auxiliary criteria ultrasonography differentiation based on ultras...

Ectopic thyroid is not a common disease, and a double ectopic thyroid is extremely rare. We report a recent case of dual ectopic thyroid in an 11-year-old girl mimicking mono-ectopic lingual thyroid on the anterior view of the thyroid scan. The dual ectopic thyroid was shown on the lateral view, with foci in the lingual and anterior hyoid regions, but no thyroid tissue in the pre-tracheal regio...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The appropriate role for ultrasonography (US) as a replacement for the upper gastrointestinal series (UGI) in vomiting infants remains undefined. The authors have used decision analysis techniques to determine whether the use of ultrasonography as an initial screen in vomiting infants is cost effective when compared with the UGI as the only study. METHODS Two diagnostic str...

1. Department of Radiology, Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam, The Netherlands Background: A 61-year-old man was evaluated for progressive dyspnea d’effort and peripheral edema in the legs. Laboratory findings revealed disturbed liver functions. Initially an ultrasonography of the abdomen and a CT scan of the abdomen and thorax following intravenous administration of contrast medium were perfor...

Superior cava venous obstruction use to show a typical clinical presentation and a CT scan or even an ultrasonography can be sufficient to achieve an accurate diagnosis, but in this case, to obtain the final diagnosis, a multimodal assessment is needed. This case report shows a multidisciplinary approach which helped diagnose a complicated case, where conventional diagnostic methods were not en...
