statement of problem: condylar hyperplasia of the mandible is a self limiting abnormality which can cause facial asymmetry, temporomandibular joint (tmj) dysfunction and esthetic problems. treatment planning is based on the results of isotope scanning, clinical findings and patient age. single photon emission tomography (spect) is considered to be a sensitive method in the calculation of condyl...

introduction while primary malignant tumors of the heart are rare, angiosarcomas are the most common cardiac malignant tumors. case presentation we describe a 23-year-old woman who presented with a right atrial mass, which was discovered to be a cardiac angiosarcoma. we demonstrate the use of several noninvasive imaging modalities along with pathology confirmation for the definitive and compreh...

conclusion the study data highlighted good value of iodine-based material decomposition images of spectral ct in assessment of both lipiodol deposition and residual cancer for follow-up of hcc patients previously treated with tace. background it is critical to follow up hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (tace) in clinical practice. computed tomography...

ABSTRACTNeuroimaging allows noninvasive evaluation of the anatomy, physiology, and function of the brain. It is widely used for diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment evaluation of neurological disorders as well as understanding functions of the brain in health and disease. Neuroimaging modalities include X-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emis...

purpose : to report the evaluation of the treatment response in choroidal hemangioma with application of enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (edi-oct) technique case report : a 73-year-old woman with a circumscribed choroidal hemangioma in the posterior pole of her left eye underwent photodynamic therapy and intravitreal injection of bevacizumab. edi-oct obtained from the affect...

by producing undistorted three-dimensional images of the area under examination, cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) systems have met many of the limitations of conventional radiography. these systems produce images with small field of view at low radiation doses with adequate spatial resolution that are suitable for many applications in endodontics from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up. t...

we report a rare case of a two-rooted maxillary central incisor, stressing the importance of three-dimensional imaging in treatment planning and conservative approach of management. endodontic treatment of this central incisor was carried out with a successful outcome.

inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (imt) in the spine or paraspinal area is extremely rare. here, we report a rare case of a 56-year-old man who had pathological-proven spinal epidural imt showing a malignancy-like infiltrative feature on mr imaging with alteration of t2 signal intensity on follow-up from slightly high to low compared with initial mr imaging. to the best of our knowledge, this ...
