Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate reference intervals for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in healthy individuals with normal levels serum free thyroxine (fT4) and without sonographic pathologies, determine effects age, gender, residence on TSH intervals. Subjects methods: This research a population-based conducted 70 regions. random sampling method used select 1095 subjects among inhabitants aged 18 above. Patients who had previous history disease been taking...

The normal limits of arterial diameters must be known to diagnose pathologies such as dilatation, stenosis and hypoplasia. Thoracic aorta diameter in childhood has been measured previous studies, but the number studies which aortic is determined very small. aim this study was therefore determine standard iliac arteries children according gender level. Pediatric abdominal computed tomography carried out for various reasons retrospectively re-evaluated between January 2016 February 2017....

2][3][4] Epidemiological data shows that thyroid disorders such as goiter, nodularity, and hyperthyroidism are more common in areas of long-standing iodine deficiency.Different prevalence rates were reported previously from different countries. 5,6Data screening large US population samples have revealed differences the frequency dysfunction ethnic groups, 6,7 whereas studies Europe influence dietary intake on epidemiology

Objective We aim to investigate a possible relationship between acute pancreatitis (AP) and body fat muscle parameters in computed tomography (CT). Methods Computed images of 107 patients with AP were scored terms severity using the modified CT index. Muscle mass, mass index, visceral subcutaneous adipose tissue area, multifidus muscle/fat attenuation ratio, total psoas index (TPI) Hounsfield units average calculation (HUAC) values performed. Results Total HUAC mild cases significantly...

To determine the normal values of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) by computed tomography (CT) in pediatric population.

Abstract Hemodialysis catheters are vital for chronic renal failure patients. Permanent tunneled dialysis may be inserted through the jugular, subclavian, and femoral veins. In this paper, we aimed to present computed tomography findings of a patient who had referred our clinic with abdominal pain dyspnea symptoms. This formerly hemodialysis catheter her was found extending towards middle hepatic vein tip leaning onto parenchyma. can provide instant vascular access also used consecutive...

Objectives: Since there are various benign and malignant diseases of the penis, different imaging methods can be used for diagnosis. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) is not a frequently method in diagnosing penile pathologies. In an abdominal CT scan performed with standard technique, slices obtained by scanning from diaphragm's dome to symphysis pubis's lower edge. Although whole penis always captured, almost all abdomen scans include portion penis. Penile pathologies detected careful...

<title>Abstract</title> Purpose We aimed to determine the prevalence and radiological characteristics of myocardial bridging (MB) intra-atrial course anomaly (IARCA), which are rare variations right coronary artery (RCA), in adult patient population. Methods Radiological images cases over age 18 who underwent CT angiography (CTA) examination our clinic were scanned from archives retrospectively, with MB RCA IARCA detection included study. The number, gender distribution cases, whether there...

Acute epiploic appendicitis (AEA) is a rare disease characterized by infection or ischemia of fat-filled sacs around the colon. It difficult to diagnose and can be confused with other acute abdominal pain requiring surgery. Computed tomography (CT) gold standard technique for appendicitis. Our study aims evaluate CT findings diagnostic value neutrophil-lymphocyte ratios (NLR) neutrophil-platelet (NPR). We included one hundred twenty patients, 40 whom were diagnosed appendicitis, 80 had...

Elevated aminotransferase levels(ATLs) are alert the physicians for liver-affecting disease and may reflect liver injury. We aimed to determine prevalence of elevated ATLs association with metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a northern province Turkey.Elevated were evaluated among 1,095 individuals Tokat Prevalence Study which have been described detail elsewhere. participants had selected by simple random sampling method 530,000 inhabitants 70 (12 urban 58 rural) areas is located Black Sea Region...

Background and Aims: Gallstone disease is a global health problem worldwide. Positive associations with age, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, obesity, rapid weight loss, etc. have been found in some studies. In the present study, we aimed to determine prevalence possible risk factors of gallbladder stone polyp urban rural populations northern province Turkey. Materials Methods: This study was conducted 70 areas (12 urban, 58 rural) Tokat, Black Sea region Turkey, about 530,000 inhabitants 18...

Aim: To compare the effectiveness of contrast-enhanced (CCT) and nonenhanced computed tomography (NECT) in diagnosis acute appendicitis. Material Method: Patients' reported to have appendicitis on abdominal (CT) between January 2017 February 2018 were identified from radiology database.The images clinical characteristics 149 consecutive patients (Male/Female=88/61) evaluated. The specific CT findings recorded separately for NECT CCT by one radiologists without knowledge identity final...

Aim: Pancreatic steatosis is the fat accumulation in pancreatic parenchyma. It suggested that infiltration may play an important role prognosis of diseases such as diabetes, malignancy and pancreatitis, leading to some inflammatory processes fibrosis, even etiological progress pancreas-related diseases. However, a limited number studies on are available literature.The aim this study was investigate relation with age, sex, hepatic steatosis, subcutaneous tissue visceral thickness.Methods:...

Introduction: Our aim is to determine the value of a pre-operative Computed Tomography (CT) scan for assessment lymph node status in patients diagnosed with colon cancer by comparing between radiological N-stage and histopathological N-stage.Methods: After approving local ethics committee, an experinced radiologist reviewed all preoperative CT scans retrospectively, January 2014 December 2018.The were examined any signs regional lymphatic spread which was defined as nodes exceeding 1 cm,...

The primary cause of intestinal obstructions is postoperative adhesions.The other common causes are hernias, neoplasms, inflammatory bowel diseases and gallstones.The that caused by adhesions resolve with medical therapy does not require surgery.Strangulation the intestines most frightening complication obstruction.Which patients need urgent surgical intervention who do an important issue because nature disease.Identifying clinical features strangulation in obstruction may help detection get...

The ribs show a wide range of normal and pathologic radiographic appearences as well congenital variations. Intrathoracic are isolated rare anomalies. They usually super-numerary, more often right-sided, involve the middle part thorax. We describe case with intrathorasic rib abnormality mimicking peripheral metastatic lung nodule in plain chest x-ray emphasize use coronal sagittal reformatted images thorasic imaging. Utilisation multiplanar computerised tomography increase diagnostic quality.
