Superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) is a rare entity recently described whose typical clinical symptomatology represented by dizziness triggered variation of pressure. We reported case SSCD which was diagnosed thanks to computed tomography (CT) scan the petrous bone conducted systematically in front mixed deafness with normal eardrum. The bilateral and revealed on left side perception...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Radiation dose in temporal bone CT imaging can be high due to the requirement of high spatial resolution. In this study, we assessed whether CT imaging of the temporal bone by using an ultra-high-resolution scan mode combined with iterative reconstruction provides higher spatial resolution and lower image noise than a z-axis ultra-high-resolution mode. MATERIALS AND MET...

Twenty patients with stroke were studied for cerebral blood perfusion abnormalities using N-isopropyl I-123 p-iodoamphetamine (IMP) and rotating dual gamma camera emission computed tomography (ECT). After a single scan, multiple transverse, coronal and sagittal section images were reconstructed with a minicomputer. In eighteen patients, we determined the values of regional cerebral blood flow (...

Fig. 1.-A, Noncontrast CT scan shows vague area of increased attenuation adjacent to head of right caudate nucleus (arrow). B, Coronal T1-weighted (700/ 20/ 4) MR image shows area of decreased signal in white matter adjacent to, and extending into, head of right caudate nucleus (arrow). C, Axial T1-weighted (600/ 20) postcontrast MR image shows no significant contrast enhancement (arrow). D, Ax...

objective(s): in clinical practice, approximately 10-25% of post-surgical differentiated thyroid carcinoma (dtc) patients with high serum thyroglobulin (tg) and negative 131i whole-body scan (wbs) have poor prognosis due to recurrent or metastatic lesions after radioactive iodine treatment. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of 18f-fdg pet/ct scan in dtc patients with high seru...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MDCT has some specific scan parameters that may systematically increase or decrease radiation dose to patients. This study explored the scan protocol parameters that impact radiation dose in temporal bone MDCT and determined the optimal scan parameters that balance radiation dose with diagnostic image quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using exsomatized cadaveric heads, tra...

BACKGROUND Diagnosis of blunt abdominal trauma is a real challenge even for experienced trauma surgeons. Diagnostic tools that help the treating doctor in optimum management of blunt abdominal trauma include; Focussed Assessment Sonography for Trauma (FAST), Diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL) and CT scan. OBJECTIVES the aim of this communication is to define the recent role of FAST and CT sca...
