This study was done in research institute of nuclear medicine from 1988-1992 for evaluation of the value of serum thyroglobulin level in comparison with 1-131 whole body scan (1-131 WBS) in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. 204 patients who had total or near total thyroidectomy treated with 1-131 were evaluated in this study. Out of 204 patients 136 di...

Background: Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cancer-related cause of death in women worldwide and is often diagnosed at advanced stages. Regarding the low sensitivity and specificity of the currently available diagnostic techniques, in the present study, we aimed to evaluate the accuracy of RMI and ROMA indexes and comparing these two indexes with CA-125 and HE4 parameters for the diagnosis ...

Objective: to compare diagnostic values of two dimensional trans-vaginal sonography (TVS) and office hysteroscopy (OH) for evaluation of endometrial pathologies in cases with repeated implantation failure (RIF) or recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Methods and Materials: This prospective study was performed in Royan institute from December 2013 to January 2015. TVS was performed before hysteroscop...

conclusions despite rapidity, automation, accuracy, cost-effectiveness, high sensitivity, and high specificity of molecular techniques, each type of molecular technology has its own advantages and disadvantages. results various types of molecular biology tools can be used to detect and quantify viral genomic elements and analyze the sequences. these molecular assays are proper technologies for ...

Background To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in infertile patients and compare its results with hysteroscopy as the gold standard. MaterialsAndMethods A total of 679 infertile women who underwent both TVS and diagnostic hysteroscopy were retrospectively investigated. TVS was performed in the mid-follicular phase (days 5-8) of their cycles. Sensitivity specific...

early diagnosis of human hydatid disease by detecting the specific antibodies in patients’ sera is considered as an important step in treatment of infection. but the diagnostic efficiencies of assays greatly depend on the characteristics of antigen that is used and various conditions in performance. in present study, we tried to standardize an indirect haemagglutination test, using antigen b fo...

o bjectives: to determine the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance angiography (mra) compared to intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (dsa) in detection of intracranial aneurysms in those suffering from acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (sah). m e thods: this observational diagnostic study was performed at a tertiary teaching hospital and reference center in shiraz, iran. we included...

Background: We aimed to determine diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of clinical laboratory findings in patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF).
