Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot most commonly found in the leg, which can lead to fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). Compression ultrasound of legs diagnostic gold standard, leading definitive diagnosis. However, many patients with possible symptoms are not have DVT, resulting long referral waiting times for and large clinical burden specialists. Thus, diagnosis at point care by non-specialists desired. We collect images pre-clinical study investigate deep learning approach automatic...
To compare maximum tumour diameter (MTD) and gross volume (GTV) measurements between T2-weighted (T2-w) diffusion-weighted (DWI) MRI in squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCCA) assess sequence impact on (T) staging. Second, to evaluate interobserver agreement reader delineation confidence. The staging scans 45 SCCA patients (25 females) were assessed retrospectively by two independent radiologists (0 5 years' experience cancer MRI). MTD GTV delineated both T2-w high-b-value DWI...
The purpose of this study was to assess the incremental value technetium-99m-methyl diphosphonate (Tc-MDP) single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) over Tc-MDP two-phase bone scan (TPBS) in assessment patients with pain following knee arthroplasty.Tc-MDP TPBS and SPECT/CT were performed 49 after arthroplasty. scans reviewed by two readers (nuclear medicine physician musculoskeletal radiologist). studies interpreted conjunction retrospective identify generator...
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly prescribed throughout the world. Their adverse effects on upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract well documented and known among clinicians often mitigated against by coprescribing proton pump inhibitors. This case exemplifies lesser-known lower GI of NSAIDS. A 55-year-old patient took a large mixed overdose including more than 11 g diclofenac. He went onto require subtotal colectomy following widespread perforations an ulcerated bowel...
Very few reports have previously described spondylodiscitis as a potential complication of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). We present to our knowledge the first case series following EVAR based on institution's experience over an 11-year period. Particular attention is paid key imaging features and challenges encountered when performing spinal in this complex patient group.Of 1,847 patients who underwent at institution between January 2006 2017, total 9 were identified with...
Abstract Purpose Cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injections (CTFESIs) have become an increasingly utilised means of treating radicular pain over recent decades, although a number reports brought their safety into question. Much this has been attributed to the use particulate steroids and theoretical risk embolic complications with inadvertent intra-arterial injection. This study documents encountered at our centre when performing CTFESI more than 10-year period predominant steroid....
The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured carpal bone. presence of a concomitant hook hamate fracture particular relevance given that it often occult on routine wrist/scaphoid radiographs and fractures are prone to symptomatic non-union, resulting in chronic ulnar wrist pain. Prompt diagnosis immobilisation/fixation may minimise such complications. Our study aimed at assessing frequency patients with fractures.Hook radiographs. Hence, we identified all 2,568 CT MRI studies performed...
<h3>Background</h3> Differentiating Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) and Nodal Osteoarthritis (NOA) in patients with interphalangeal joint (IPJ) involvement is often challenging.<sup>1–3</sup> Yet, the distinction important to make, especially as treatment for these conditions vastly different. Here we present a novel scoring system based on identifying subtle but characteristic radiographic features of both bilateral hand plain-film radiographs. <h3>Objectives</h3> To describe key discriminating...
To determine the prevalence of incidental findings on sacroiliac (SI) joint MRI in children clinically suspected Juvenile Spondyloarthritis (JSpA).In this retrospective multi-center study 540 JSpA who underwent SI joints from February 2012 to May 2018, sacroiliitis and other was recorded.In 106/540 (20 %) features were present. In 228 (42 patients showed at least one finding than sacroiliitis. A total 271 abnormal reported. The most frequent lumbosacral spine (158 patients, 29 hip (43 8 %)....
Background: Computed tomography-guided steroid injection is a well-recognized, conservative treatment of localized spinal pain as result facet arthropathy and radiculopathy secondary to nerve root compression. An extremely rare complication the development an epidural haematoma with potential cause permanent neurological damage, so anticoagulation at time procedure contraindicated. Routinely injections are performed outpatient requiring referring physician implement peri-procedural plan....
