Introduction: Orbital metastasis of prostate cancer (PC) is very rare and even more unique in castration-resistant PC (CRPC). In this scenario, choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (choline PET/CT) is the gold-standard restaging method of choice available in our setting, and new anti-androgens treatments show improvement in overall survival. Case presentation: We report the...

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is the most common form of infantile chronic lung disease and results in significant health-care expenditure. The roles of chest radiography and computed tomography (CT) are well documented but numerous recent advances in imaging technology have paved the way for newer imaging techniques including structural pulmonary assessment via lung magnetic resonance imaging (MR...

introduction delayed splenic rupture (dsr) is an unusual outcome following blunt abdominal trauma. although dsr is defined as bleeding more than 48 hours after blunt trauma in a previously hemodynamically stable patient, a review of the reported cases in the literature shows that in almost all of the cases the initial ct imaging revealed some form of damage to the spleen. case presentation here...

conclusion the designed split-bolus mdct technique can be proposed alternatively to triphasic mdct and in a single-pass to pvp in the initial staging and in the follow-up respectively in oncologic patients. patients and methods we retrospectively analyzed the follow-up split-bolus 64-detector row ct protocol in 36 oncologic patients to characterize focal liver lesions. the split-bolus mdct prot...

Background: Patient radiation doses from computed tomography (CT) are increasing due to the number of CT examinations performed every day. The aim of this study was assess and evaluate patient radiation doses for adult’s common CT examinations to derive local diagnostic guidance levels for common CT examinations. Materials and Methods: Volume and weighted computed tomography dose index (C...

introduction:spontaneous pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, and subcutaneous emphysema are rare, but serious complications of inflammatory myopathies and occur more commonly in dm than pm. complications of dermatomyositis (dm) and polymyositis (pm), both of which can be fatal. case report:a 20-year-old woman was admitted with neck pain, dyspnea, cough, and fever. she had been diagnosed with derma...

A 68-year–old woman had been experiencing Raynaud symptom, palpitation of the heart, and short breath in walking stairs or slopes for 7 years. Recently, these symptoms had rapidly become worse. She admitted to our hospital. At that time, she was diagnosed with systemic scleroderma (limited scleroderma). Pulmonary hypertension was pointed out by echocardiography (estimated pulmonary artery press...

The term occult pneumothorax (OP) describes a pneumothorax that is not suspected on the basis of clinical examination or plain radiography but is ultimately detected with thoracoabdominal computed tomography (CT). This situation is increasingly common in trauma care with the increased use of CT. The rate is approximately 5% in injured people presenting to hospital, with CT revealing at least tw...
