Background and aims. Although salivary gland tumors are not very common, early diagnosis and treatment is crucial because of their proximity to vital organs, and therefore, determining the efficacy of new imaging procedures becomes important. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and color doppler ultrasonography parameters in the diagnosis and differenti...

introduction: sudden sensorineural hearing-loss (ssnhl) patients constitute approximately 2–3% of referrals to ear, nose and throat (ent) clinics. several predisposing factors have been proposed for this condition; one of which is vascular disorders and perfusion compromise. in this research the atherosclerotic changes and their known risk factors are studied in ssnhl patients.   materials and ...

conclusions according to the results, there were no significant and meaningful differences comparing acs and csa groups of patients by ecds using three indicators of stenosis, plaque morphology and imt as indicators of atherosclerosis. results also display that patients with acs had more stenosis, more plaque and thicker intima–media, but these differences were not statistically significant (p ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of flow-diverter treatment through Doppler ultrasonography measurements in patient-specific models of intracranial bifurcation and side-wall aneurysms. METHODS Computational and physical models of patient-specific bifurcation and sidewall aneurysms were constructed from computed tomography angiograph...

Tinnitus can be functionally measured and localized through sensorimotor and neurosensory tests. According to our Neurofisiología Otooftalmológica data bank, 60% of patients requiring a consultation have a history of cardiocirculatory disorders. This figure has moved us to study cerebrovascular processes in those patients seeking consultation for a tinnitus symptom only. The sudden appearance o...

Objective- This survey was accomplished to describe the hepatic artery and portal vein indices in healthy domestic cats by color Doppler ultrasonography technique. Design- Retrospective experimental study. Animals- Twenty domestic short hair (DSH) cats (10 males and 10 females). Procedures- Doppler indices of ...

As judged by the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria, renal Doppler ultrasonography is the most appropriate imaging test in the evaluation of AKI and has the highest level of recommendation. Unfortunately, nephrologists are rarely specifically trained in ultrasonography technique and interpretation, and important clinical information obtained from renal ultrasonography may no...

A 40-year-old woman with a 3 cm sigmoid polyp lesion who underwent a laparoscopic colon resection after intraoperative localisation of the lesion using laparoscopic ultrasonography coupled with colour power Doppler is described. She has successful intraoperative detection of the polyp followed by radical laparoscopic removal of the lesion. The advantage of using laparoscopic high resolution ult...
