background: ankle fractures, especially those resulting from external rotation mechanisms are associated with injury to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. some authors have recommended performing ct scanning after open ankle surgery to evaluate the reduction of syndesmosis. in this current study, we aimed to investigate the sensitivity of plain radiography in diagnosing syndesmosis malreducti...

we report a patient who was admitted to the department of medicine with palpitation, dyspnea and left flank pain, chest x-ray revealed a mass in the left lung. the lesion was evaluated as a pulmonary tumor, with a high suspicion of malignancy. intravenous urography, sonography, and ctscanning revealed a thoracic kidney at the location previously thought to be a lung mass. this is the first repo...

conclusion scout views may be useful in determining dose and image quality in ct scanning; however, it is necessary to first determine the most appropriate scout view for ct scans. background while using the automatic exposure control technique in computed tomography (ct), the scout view determines the radiation dose for the ct scan by taking anatomical morphology into consideration. objectives...

Background: Chest CT is a commonly used examination for the diagnosis of lung diseases, but a breast within the scanned field is nearly never the organ of interest.Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the female breast and lung doses using split and standard protocols in chest CT scanning.Materials and Methods: The sliced chest and breast female phantoms were used. CT exams were p...
