Spontaneous pneumothorax is rare during pregnancy. A case of spontaneous pneumothorax occurring at 34 weeks' gestation in a healthy 25-year-old primigravida is described. Its occurrence was accompanied by sudden onset of dyspnea and pleuritic chest pain while the patient was walking. Diagnosis was made by chest radiograph and treatment was by tube thoracostomy. At 41 weeks' gestation, after nor...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS In periapical radiographic technique, the changes will be visible only after considerable deposi-tion or resorption while digital subtraction technique visualizes slight density changes. This study was aimed to compare visualization of density changes in conventional periapical radiographs and digital subtraction technique with or without image enhancement. MATERIALS AND M...

RATIONALE Objective, reproducible quantification of the extent of abnormalities seen on a chest radiograph would improve the user-friendliness of a previously proposed severity scoring system for pulmonary tuberculosis and could be helpful in monitoring response to therapy, including in clinical trials. METHODS In this study we report the development and evaluation of a simple tool using free...

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has changed the face of diagnostic techniques; it been used for diagnosing hip pathologies and is earliest applications MRI in musculoskeletal disorders. detects articular, extra articular osseous joint. Thus, important cases chronic pain which indicates a long list causes. also investigation choice avascular necrosis, radiographically occult fractur...

The identification of the make and model a total knee replacement (TKR) is necessary step prior to revision surgery for periprosthetic fracture, loosening, wear or infection. Current methods may fail correctly identify implant up 10% time. This study presents training Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) automatically seven TKR implants absence on plain-film radiographs. Our dataset consists 588 ...

INTRODUCTION Diagnosis of hip fracture is normally readily made from clinical evaluation and plain radiographs. Occasionally, clinical suspicion of fracture is not confirmed on plain X-rays. MATERIALS AND METHOD Between January 2001 and March 2002, 422 patients were admitted to our department for post-traumatic hip pain. The diagnosis of hip fracture was unequivocally made in 365 patients (86...
