The aim of this study was to measure the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values detected by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in acute pancreatitis and compare them with computerized tomography (CT) findings subgrouped Balthazar classification.The population included 50 patients diagnosed clinical who were evaluated both multidetector CT magnetic resonance (MRI) within 24 h presentation. We calculated pancreatic ADC obtained from DWI (b=0 b=1000 mm2/sn). These compared their normal...

Methods: A total 80 presenting acute colic pain due to a single stone were treated within 24 hours following onset approaches in randomized manner. Patients requiring DJ stent placement and/or auxiliary measures after both procedures excluded remaining 65 evaluated [Group1: ESWL (n = 34); Group 2: URS 31)]. followed during 4-weeks...

Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic inflammatory and multisystem vasculitis. Cardiac involvement one of the major complications BD. sporadic in terms its specific relationship to mortality. How identify follow up on cardiac-related BD patients has yet be determined.The aim our study assess cardiovascular diseases by measuring metabolic function copeptin levels comparing these healthy control group. Knowing functions that are negatively affected will help doctors determine which need more...

Recent studies have shown an association between anti-thyroid antibodies and autologous serum skin test (ASST) positive urticaria patients. However, a connection thyroid this reliable for mast cell autoreactivity, ASST, has not been reported yet. We investigated ASST in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) without compared the results laboratory sonographical findings of HT. 154 HT patients, 100 healthy volunteers as first control group 46 multinodular goitre but autoimmune disease...

Ultrasound-guided biopsy procedures are the most prominent methods that increase trauma, stress and anxiety experienced by patients.Our goal was to examine level of in patients waiting for radiologic determine arising from a procedure.This prospective study included 35 female 65 male who were admitted interventional radiology department Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kirdar training research hospital, Istanbul between years 2014 2015. They filled out adult resilience scale consisting 33 items. Patients...

Pediatric renal biopsy may result in serious hemorrhagic complications, requiring additional diagnostic procedures, blood transfusion, vascular interventions, and prolongation of hospitalization. The aim the present study was to propose angled tangential approach technique for real-time ultrasound-guided pediatric percutaneous biopsy.A retrospective analysis 166 biopsies from June 2004 May 2009 performed. Patients' medical records, pathology results, complications were reviewed.No major seen...

Abstract Background: Hydatid cysts (HCs), which are among the cystic lesions of liver, frequently encountered in endemic areas. Routine imaging modalities sometimes insufficient to differentiate HC types, and ultrasound (US) elastography has just begun be used for this purpose. In study, effectiveness strain (SE) method preoperative cases was investigated, relationship between types values evaluated. Methods: that underwent SE simultaneously with US January 2019 February 2021 were evaluated...

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate prediction postoperative ureteral obstruction needing stent insertion by evaluating the resistive index (RI) values and grade hydronephrosis. Material Methods: A total 66 adult patients undergoing stentless endoscopic stone treatment (URS) between January 2018 2019 were included in prospective study. Preoperative patient characteristics noted. All evaluated with renal Doppler ultrasonography assess degree hydronephrosis RI values. was repeated...

elastography in relation to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and show the relationship between electromyography (EMG) sonographic cross-sectional area measurements.
 Materials Methods: The patients with paresthesia of median nerve distrubition lasting at least for 3 months were included. A total 23 female patients’s CTS 25 healthy volunteers’ wrist which one existed included that 36 46 wrists. had clinical signs their EMG test confirmed diagnosis. along its course on was applied strain...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease of unknown etiology with an unpredictable course. We aimed to investigate the effects presence hiatal hernia (HH) and its consequences on clinical manifestation IPF.Patients diagnosed IPF or without were retrospectively compared in terms findings, total scores (TFS), lung function interstitial diseases (ILD) outpatient clinic.A 142 patients included study. HH was detected 62.7% (n= 89) patients. There no statistically significant...

It is significantly important to define brain death with greater precision in terms of timing and accuracy. While the past determination simply based on conventional angiography, now major technological advances Diffusion-weighted MRI a new method sensitive cerebral ischemia which gives molecular level deeply ischemic nature changes. Its value has been shown various studies. In our study, we did comparative overview diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)...

Introduction: Jeune syndrome affects an estimated 1 in 100.000 to 130.000 people. The causes breathing disorders and upper or lower respiratory tract infections because of thoracic cage which is smaller narrower than usual. Case: Here we report a male newborn presented with narrow short limbs. Radiological evaluation PA chest graphy showed abnormal ribs. 3D CT decreased antero-posterior diameter cavity, horizontally located round ended ribs, shallow acetabular cavity. Abdomen...

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The study aimed to evaluate the true safety of transient cessation antiplatelet medication before extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) on bleeding-related complications. <b><i>Patients and Methods:</i></b> Forty cases undergoing SWL for renal pelvic stones were included depending use they divided into 2 groups namely: group 1, under in whom was stopped ESWL; 2, without any medication. Comparative evaluation...

Objectives: Lumbar disc degeneration is diagnosed with radiological signs in the paraspinal muscles (PSM) seen on lumbar magnetic resonance imaging. It associated body weight, height, and a high mass index (BMI). The role of PSM has not been examined literature. aim this study was to analyze hernia grading, bilateral length, BMI. Methods: grading herniation size anteroposterior (AP) length their distance skin assessed at intervertebral levels 70 patients low back pain. Data collected were AP...
