OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of sonography and CT for the evaluation of renal masses discovered at excretory urography. MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of 225 patients with a renal mass shown by urography who then had either sonography or CT within 3 months were reviewed retrospectively. The number, location, and size of lesions; initial and subs...

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to evaluate whether high-resolution sonography can provide additional information concerning rib lesions compared with radiography or bone scintigraphy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-eight patients with high-uptake rib lesions seen on bone scintigraphy were selected. Radiography and rib high-resolution sonography were performed on these patients. High-resolution sonography...

INTRODUCTION Sonography has found a role in the evaluation of patients with abdominal injury. However, the accuracy of sonography as performed by non-radiologists remains controversial. This study aims to determine the accuracy of focused abdominal sonography for trauma when performed by surgeons. MATERIALS AND METHOD Over a 1-year period, 48 patients with abdominal injury were initially eval...

background: breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women demanding time and accurate diagnosis to take remedial measures to treat. objective: comparing the diagnostic capability of the computer regulation thermography (crt), as a novel and safe dignostic procedure, with common clinical examination and imaging methods including sonography and mammography for diagnosing breast cancer ...

This work introduces capacity limits for molecular timing (MT) channels, where information is modulated on the release timing of small information particles, and decoded from the time of arrival at the receiver. It is shown that the random time of arrival can be represented as an additive noise channel, and for the diffusion-based MT (DBMT) channel this noise is distributed according to the Lév...
