Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in magnetic resonance (MRI) provides information about the microstructure of renal tissue and is becoming increasingly useful evaluation relationship between structure function. To investigate, whether DTI allows assessment impairment pathology pediatric patients with decreased functions. Thirty-two seventeen healthy children were included this prospective study. For DTI, a respiratory-triggered coronal echo planar (EPI) sequence was performed. Cortical...

Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare subtype of melanoma, accounting for less than 5% all cases. Metastatic UM differs notably from cutaneous exhibiting variations in etiology, prognosis, driver mutations, metastatic patterns, and poor responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Beyond local treatment options, such as resection, radiation therapy, enucleation, systemic treatments, ICIs, the approval tebentafusp, bispecific gp100 peptide-HLA-directed CD3 T-cell engager, marks breakthrough...

The purpose of this study is to determine the potential role dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion imaging in diagnosing brain death.The population was composed 61 subjects (the Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS] score 3 for all subjects), and 26 were assigned control group (GCS scores between 4 6). At least four regions interest (ROIs) from different anatomical measured, mean transit time (MTT), cerebral blood flow (CBF), signal intensity time-to-course graphic...

Purpose: In some patients with a ureteral stone without uretero-hydronephrosis, it is difficult to determine the location of stone. The objective present study was investigate changes in renal papillae using unenhanced computerized tomography (uCT) and side calculi papillary findings Methods: uCT data from 81 were retrospectively reviewed for this study. inclusion criteria unilateral calculi, no hydronephrosis. For each patient, three measurements CT attenuation 0.05 cm2 area made tip...

Ureteral obstruction is one of the most common urological complications after kidney transplant. The definitive treatment ureteral has been surgicalrevision. Because ofthe increased morbidity surgery, minimally invasive percutaneous procedures have gained more acceptance in recent years. Presently, interventional radiological are recommended as first step obstructions. occlusions or near-occlusion high-grade stenoses require greater catheter backup force. Antegrade interventions generally...

The colon mesentery is the origin of approximately 20% childhood mesenteric cysts. Although these cysts are mostly asymptomatic, they may cause various clinical pictures according to dimension, localization, and content cyst whether it complicated. Children therefore present with symptoms abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, weight loss, mass, distention, also suffer from findings related such as torsion, infection, hemorrhage rupture. We a case originating descending...

Dacron vascular grafts have been used safely since decades. However, long terms complications including organ loss or death may be observed. Evaluation of the graft using ultrasonography and computed tomogra- phy in asymptomatic cases is beneficial particularly early diagnosis late complications. We present a 57 year old male patient who underwent femoro-popliteal by-pass 8 years ago, developed deformity pseudoaneurysm at non-anastomotic site on dacron-graft was successfully treated with...

Aim: To determine the efficacy of kidney shear wave elastography (SWE) in patients diagnosed with ureteral stones.Method: Both kidneys 30 were evaluated prospectively SWE. The stone size and degree hydronephrosis determined by sonographic examination. contralateral was accepted as control parameter. Stone size, grade speed changes noted their relations examined for statistical significance.Results: Affected group had significantly increased SWE values than group. (3.87+-1.22 vs 2.06+-0.72...
