Background The performance of TVS, TRS and MRI for the diagnosis of DIE have been separately reported in earlier studies. However, the three methods have not been concurrently compared in terms of their overall performance and classified results as per different anatomical locations of DIE lesions in a large study population. This study was an attempt to compare pelvic magnetic resonance imagin...

background: in order to improve the evaluation of possible rectal toxicity based on the rectal normal tissue complication probability (ntcp), we consider the fractional dependence of the ntcp on the wall thickness (tw) and rectal displacement (rm). materials and methods: the two-dimensional ntcp model (ntcp2d) was developed using radiotherapy plans of ten randomly selected patients with prostat...

Prostate cancer (PCa) remains a major health concern for the male population. Detection and primary diagnosis of PCa are based on digital rectal examination, serum prostate-specific antigen levels, and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided random biopsy. Moreover, the gold standard for detecting PCa, systematic biopsy, lacks sensitivity as well as grading accuracy. This review summarizes recent ...

OBJECTIVES The potential to predict, and therefore avoid, anastomotic failure has eluded generations of colon and rectal surgeons to date. A reliable, reproducible method of assessing bowel blood flow therefore would be of enormous potential clinical relevance. To our knowledge, intraoperative contrast-enhanced sonography of the bowel has not been performed previously. We present our study asse...

DESCRIPTION A 2-year-old previously well girl presented at the hospital with intermittent acute painful crying (colicky pain) that recurred at frequent intervals for some hours. Between these episodes, she was painless but refused to eat or drink. During palpation, a mass was suspected in the right hemiabdomen. The rectal examination was unremarkable, and no bloody diarrhoea was present. Abdomi...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the application of transabdominal sonography and transvaginal sonography in early diagnosis of pregnancy and to provide a reference for the selection of diagnosis methods in clinic. METHODS One hundred and eighty patients who were admitted into the hospital from February 2013 to February 2014, received clinical diagnosis and were confirmed as ectopic gestation by surgery ...

Endometriosis, an intriguing gynecological illness, poses a substantial health concern for women of reproductive age, despite its widespread occurrence and limited comprehension. The objective this study is to assess the diagnostic precision transvaginal sonography (TVS) pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identification deep infiltrated endometriosis (DIE). This encompassed cohort 256 pati...
