Objective The primary aim of this study is to compare tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TTTG) distance in patients with or without knee osteoarthritis. Additionally, the variability of tibial tubercle according to trochlear groove was evaluated. Materials and Methods In this retrospective cohort study, TTTG distance was measured with two different methods on magnetic resonance (MR) images. ...

introduction: pulmonary embolism (pe) is a common lethal disease that its clinical symptoms may be seen in many other diseases. computed tomography pulmonary angiography (ctpa) is a valuable diagnostic modality for detection of pe. in addition, it can accurately detect the other diseases with clinical symptoms similar to pe. the aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of pe and nonemboli...

errors and variations in interpretation can happen in clinical imaging. few studies have examined the biased effect of clinical information on reporting of brain ct scans. in a blinded double crossover design, we studied whether three radiologists were biased by clinical information when making ct scan diagnosis of the brain. three consultant radiologists in three rounds with at least a one-mon...

trauma is the most common reason in 1-34 years olds. in patient with multiple traumas, the head is the most common involved part. the importance of computed tomography (ct scan) in diagnosis of brain trauma is well established and ct of the brain is a choice method. finding lesion in brain traumatic patient is very important so goal of this study is finding of brain ct scan in traumatic patient...

INTRODUCTION The tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove (TTTG) distance in the western population is extensively studied through various modalities such as X-rays, computerised tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. However, to our knowledge there is very little or no literature support to indicate that TTTG distance has been studied in the Indian population. METHODS We therefore undertook...

introduction bolus is a soft and resilient material which is used for increasing skin dose or to even out the irregular patient contour. the main property of various materials used presently as bolus is the water-equivalent electron density. ethyl methacrylate is used as a soft-liner in dentistry and its physical and chemical properties are proved to be nontoxic for human body. the goal of this...

chronic rhinosinusitis (crs) is a common disease which is usually diagnosed clinically, considering the combination of natural history, physical examination and imaging studies. this study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of routine postoperative histopathologic examination (pohe) in patients with a clinical diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis (crswp), or without polyposis (c...

in this study, 22 patients (15-75 years old) were selected and transferred to ct scan for tumor ablation. for ablations, after prep and drep under the local anesthesia and mild sedation in proper position, small incision made and special needle inserted and guided by proper direction to the core of the tumor. then, laser probe inserted through the needle and laser energy delivered. although we ...
