Background and Aims: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the hepatic vascular anatomy and the variations in living right lobe donors by multidetector computed tomography angiography before the transplantation surgery and to detect the prevalence of these variations. Materials and Methods: Fifty-one potential liver donors (20 females, 31 males) underwent hepatic vascular computed tomogr...

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most frequent form of potentially reversible hypertension and coronary-pulmonary fistulas are increasingly recognized during routine coronary angiography or multidetector computed tomography for analysis chest pain in hypertensive patients. Aldosterone hypersecretion has been associated with endothelial proliferation pathological remodeling heart ar...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Percutaneous revascularization of chronic total coronary artery occlusion is a technical challenge and has a lower success rate than other angioplasty procedures. Identification of predictors of failure could lead to better selection of patients with the greatest possibility of success. In this study, we investigate the multidetector computed tomography features asso...

C tomographic angiography (CTA) of the coronary arteries is in its relative infancy. Newergeneration electron beam computed tomography and the rapid development of multidetector ( 64 slices) computed tomography (MDCT) with increased spatial resolution (0.33 mm) and temporal resolution (50 to 100 ms with multisegment reconstruction), shorter breathhold (5 to 12 seconds), and less contrast (60 to...

Conventional angiography has long been regarded as gold standard imaging modality for evaluation of the renal vasculature. Introduction of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography had a groundbreaking impact on evaluation of the renal vessels and is gradually replacing conventional angiography as standard imaging. Herein, we review and illustrate the normal and variant anatomy of re...

INTRODUCTION Thoracoscopic lobectomy for congenital pulmonary airway malformation has been indicated from the neonatal period to adolescence. However, it is difficult to approach the pulmonary artery for lobectomy in congenital lung malformations with incomplete or absent interlobar fissures. Multidetector computed tomographic images and computed tomography pulmonary angiography gave us helpful...

results the degree of systolic compression was found to be correlated with the depth of the mb. however, there was no correlation between the length of the mb and the degree of systolic compression. conclusion the systolic compression of the mb was influenced by the depth of the tunneled segment, not by its length. background myocardial bridging (mb) is a congenital anomaly in which a segment o...
