This second phase of the study of "Uptake of Radioactive Phosphorus in Experimental Tumors" deals with the uptake of P32 by malignant tissue, in comparison with that by inflammatory ocular tissue, and an investigation of the influence of vascularity upon the uptake of P32 in normal, inflammatory, and neoplastic tissues. There has been some speculation as to the effect of vascularity upon the up...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE No study has previously examined the feasibility of using EA to remove any peripherally located, solid components remaining after treatment of benign solid thyroid nodules by RFA. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of EA in removing remnant solid components following the incomplete ablation of benign solid thyroid nodules by RFA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Duri...

Background Ultrasound is the first line modality in evaluation of pelvic masses in female patients. It is helpful in detection of masses and also in determining origin of them. Tissue characterization is possible with gray scale but Doppler study is quite necessary and considers as complimentary method. Most of the time, it should be performed in vaginal US exam. Existence of vascularity and al...
