endometrial calcification along with ossification is an uncommon clinical entity. most of the cases are asymptomatic or present with secondary infertility. endometrial ossification associated with repeated abortions has been reported very infrequently. here we report a case of endometrial calcification with ossification  due to retained fetal bony tissue in a 38 year old symptomatic female havi...

OBJECTIVES To compare the diagnosis of shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) established by clinical and ultrasonographic examination and to evaluate the value of clinical tests for SIS as well as for rotator cuff pathology. METHODS One hundred patients with periathrophatia scapulohumeralis entered the study, including 64 females and 36 males aged between 20-84 years (mean 56.8 and 57.5, respec...

Objective: Retrospective evaluation of the results of the chorion villus sampling, amniocentesis, and cordocentesis of 2295 cases performed for prenatal diagnosis. Methods: Between 2001 and 2007 (first 6 months) 54 cases of genetic chorion villus sampling, 2086 cases of genetic amniocentesis and 155 cases of cordocentesis were evaluated according to indications, success of karyotyping and the r...

We present a 64-year-old patient suffering from extranodal malignant lymphoma. The patient was admitted to the County Hospital Urology Ward with suspicion of the left kidney tumor. As part of pre-operational diagnosis, ultrasonographic examination and computed tomography of kidneys were conducted. The results confirmed the initial diagnosis. After undergoing radical surgical treatment, the pati...

Multifocal liver lesions are encountered regularly in children and adolescents. By knowing the specific ultrasonographic, computed tomographic, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of benign and malignant pediatric liver lesions as well as the particular clinical setting, radiologists can frequently narrow the differential diagnosis and sometimes offer a definitive diagnosis. The purpo...

Ultrasonography represents an efficient diagnosis method for thoracic pathology evaluation. The diseases of the pleura and thoracic wall receive the greatest benefit from the ultrasound examination. Establishing the cause of an acute thoracic pain or assessing a palpable tumor may easily benefit from essential data provided by ultrasonography. Afterwards it is possible to use a complementary im...

AIM To assess the role of ultrasonography of submandibular glands (SGs) in the diagnosis of type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). METHODS Thirty-seven patients who were definitively diagnosed with type 1 AIP according to the international consensus diagnostic criteria (ICDC) for AIP at our institution between December 1990 and April 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Findings by physical exa...

Portable and departmental ultrasound scanning has become an increasingly utilised investigative tool in the diagnosis of puerperal complications. It must be emphasised that an understanding of the normal ultrasonographic appearance of the postpartum uterus is a prerequisite for the accurate diagnosis of puerperal pathology. This article aims to review the current understanding and application o...

Background and Aims: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a silent disease; its spectrum includes simple steatosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and fibrosis. Pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines play roles in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and insulin resistance (IR). Moreover, plasma cell antigen-1 (PC-1) is related to IR and associated with NAFLD progression. Therefore, we aimed to detect ...

It is important to segment mass region accurately in a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) scheme for evaluating the likelihood of malignancy of the mass on ultrasonographic breast image. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel level set method for segmentation of breast mass on ultrasonographic image. Our database consisted of 151 ultrasonographic images with 70 malignant and 81 benign br...
