Conventional radiography plays an essential diagnostic role in the primary evaluation of acute joint trauma. In complex fractures, however, computed tomography (CT) is an imaging modality often used second to radiography. As a result of technical breakthroughs in the field, multidetector CT (MDCT) allows faster imaging and better temporal, spatial, and contrast resolution compared with conventi...

BACKGROUND Invasive coronary angiography is the gold standard means of imaging bypass vessels and carries a small but potentially serious risk of local vascular complications, including myocardial infarction, stroke and death. We evaluated computed tomography as a non-invasive means of assessing graft patency. METHODS Fifty patients with previous coronary artery bypass surgery who were listed...

Life-threatening hemoptysis is a severe condition that requires rapid diagnosis and treatment. One of the treatments of choice is embolization. The initial assessment aims to locate the origin and cause of bleeding. The technological advance of the development of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has changed the management of patients with life-threatening hemoptysis. MDCT angiography ma...

The thyroid is the first endocrine gland to form during embryogenesis. At this stage, incomplete or anomalous migration of thyroid tissue causes ectopic localization of the gland. In our case, a 55-year-old woman who was evaluated via ultrasonography (USG) and multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) had no thyroid gland at the normal location, but did have ectopic thyroid tissue in the left s...
