BACKGROUND Several scoring systems for cervical disc and facet joint degeneration, using radiography or computed tomography, have been developed and tested for reliability. However, definitions of disc height and facet joint space narrowing vary. To our knowledge, no study has reported quantitative data for normal radiologic values of the cervical spine in the Korean population. The purpose of ...

Generally, plain radiography has been in many cases the only imaging modality for the diagnosis and follow-up of stifle abnormalities. Over the years, however, radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons became aware of the importance of the diagnosis of not only bony conditions but also of a diverse variety of soft-tissue conditions. Besides plain radiography, the veterinary profession nowadays gets...

BACKGROUND With soaring advances in the field of medicine, the place of older radiologic imaging modalities is being reduced to basic screening tools. Yet the modern imaging modalities like computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound and nuclear medicine are hardly available. STUDY OBJECTIVES To study the frequency of various indications of plain chest radiograp...

Several studies have demonstrated that a diagnosis based solely on a patient's medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests is not reliable enough, despite the fact that these aspects are essential parts of the workup of a patient presenting with acute abdominal pain. Traditionally, imaging workup starts with abdominal radiography. However, numerous studies have demonstrated low ...

Our aim was to determine the clinical value of MRI and CT arthrography in predicting the presence of loose bodies in the elbow. A series of 26 patients with mechanical symptoms in the elbow had plain radiography, MRI and CT arthrography, followed by routine arthroscopy of the elbow. The location and number of loose bodies determined by MRI and CT arthrography were recorded. Pre-operative plain ...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to compare the utility of plain radiographs to multislice computed tomography (MCT) for cervical spine (c-spine) evaluation. We hypothesized that plain radiographs add no clinically relevant diagnostic information to MCT in the screening evaluation of the c-spine of trauma patients. METHODS This was a prospective, unblinded, consecutive series of inj...

A four-year-old male green iguana (Iguana iguana) was presented to the University Veterinary Hospital (UVH) of University Patra Malaysia with a history of marked reduction in activity and appetite. A solid mass was palpated at right lateral abdomen. The mass was investigated with radiography, ultrasonography and followed by exploratory laparotomy. A 2 centimeter diameter of yellowish mass with ...

We have reviewed 13 operations on 11 patients using curettage and polymethylmethacrylate cement for giant-cell tumour of bone (GCT) to assess the value of radiology in the early detection of recurrence. There were four recurrences, the most specific radiological sign on plain radiography was lysis of 5 mm or more at the cement-bone interface. This preceded clinical signs by a mean of four month...
