Liver size can be influenced by various factors, including malignant diseases, infective processes, and anthropometric variations among individuals from different geographical locations races. Therefore, the exact definition of hepatomegaly in ultrasonographic measurement liver is controversial. Moreover, majority studies regarding study are not community-based.The aim this to establish a range normal sizes ultrasonography with respect age sex healthy identify factors affecting size.This was...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic viral disease with high mortality. The agent causing CCHF Nairovirus. virus typically transmitted to humans through tick bites. life-threatening observed endemically over wide geographical regions in the world and little known about pulmonary findings patients.The patients that were admitted diagnosed between April 2010 September 2015 examined. Patients' medical records then evaluated retrospectively. Patients who underwent thorax CT...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect percutaneous internal ring suturing (PIRS) technique on testicular vascularization when used for inguinal hernia repair in children.In prospective study, 49 boys older than 1 year who had been diagnosed with unilateral were evaluated. Hernias repaired using laparoscopic PIRS technique. testes each patient examined Doppler ultrasound at preoperative, early postoperative, and late postoperative periods. Peak systolic velocity (PSV), end...

Background:Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) may present with extra-articular involvement in the lungs.We aimed to evaluate abnormal pulmonary multidetector computed tomography findings of patients AS and compare them clinical symptoms, duration illness, laboratory results function tests (PFT). Material/Methods:We evaluated chest (MDCT) 41 ankylosing compared test (PFT) results, demographic characteristics, illness that we were able obtain. Results:The most common abnormalities nodules,...

Background . Early diagnosis of gastric cancer is one the most important parameters affecting survival disease. In this study, we aimed to stress importance antrum wall thickness in CT examination. Method The study included 111 patients between ages 18 and 95 who had antral thickening computed tomography also endoscopic evaluation performed same clinic. were divided into two groups as benign malignant according pathology results. tomography, hemoglobin albumin levels, age was compared among...

We report cases of ectopic ureter accompanied by three types ureteral duplication that had been diagnosed previously and treated for enuresis. Data from female patients ranging in age 1 to 10 years were evaluated. The was observed on the left one case, right another bilateral third case. Complete found two cases, while incomplete duplication. Ureteroneocystostomy performed case subtotal nephrectomy carried out other cases. opposite urinary system Ectopic duplicated should be considered...

To evaluate cisterna chyli (CC) diameter with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients chronic kidney disease (CKD).The study included 71 CKD and 68 healthy controls. In both groups, the largest transverse of CC was measured axial heavily T2 -weighted images using a 1.5T MRI. The control group were compared, correlations between CKD, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), stage investigated. diameters compared between/among groups independent sample t-test or one-way analysis variance...

The aim of this study was to describe the morphological features posterolateral radiohumeral (RH) plica in asymptomatic subjects and patients with elbow osteoarthritis using ultrasonography (US).The control group included a total 100 healthy elbows (51 subjects) consisted 22 (22 patients) confirmed clinically by imaging methods. presence, length, height, thickness, cross sectional area, shape, echogenicity RH were evaluated both groups. In addition, humeral radial cartilage thicknesses also...

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate whether the use combination quantitative metrics (mamillopontine distance [MPD], pontomesencephalic angle, and mesencephalon anterior-posterior/medial-lateral diameter ratios) with qualitative signs (dural enhancement, subdural collections/hematoma, venous engorgement, pituitary gland enlargements, tonsillar herniations) provides a more accurate diagnosis intracranial hypotension (IH). Methods 34 patients control subjects were assessed by 2...

A BSTRACT Background and Aim: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder. Typical clinical manifestations are self-limiting attacks of recurrent fever, abdominal pain, arthralgia, chest pain due to aseptic polyserositis. Renal involvement common in FMF patients. Shear wave elastography (SWE) a noninvasive method that provides the measurement tissue stiffness. In this study, we aimed show SWE can be used as adjunctive for evaluating renal children with FMF....

Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to determine whether elastographic evaluation uterine myometrium can predict preterm delivery. Methods This carried out at the Department Obstetrics and Gynecology, Gaziosmanpasa University Hospital, Tokat, Turkey. A total 148 pregnant women matching inclusion criteria between January 2014 2015 were enrolled. Elastographic measurements obtained 18 22 weeks gestation, on real‐time images by a radiologist. Patients followed up until receiver–operator...

Congenital and acquired pathologies of the seminal vesicles (SV) are rare diseases. The diagnosis SV anomalies is frequently delayed or wrong due to rarity these diseases lack adequate evaluation pathology. For this reason, we aimed comprehensively evaluate accompanying genitourinary system abnormalities.Between March 2012 December 2015, 1455 male patients with different provisional underwent MRI. pathology was identified in 42 patients. were categorized according their pathologies. analyzed...

A Comparison of Low-Dose and Normal-Dose Gadobutrol in MR Renography Renal AngiographyObjective: It has been advocated that a reduced injection volume with highly concentrated (1 M) contrast material can produce sharper bolus peak an increased intravascular first-pass gadolinium concentration when compared the use lower (0.5 M).A higher would also cause reduction dose.The purpose our study was to test low dose (0.05 mmol/kg) gadobutrol magnetic resonance renography angiography compare...

To investigate diagnostic significance of percutaneous cavitary lavage (PCL) in differential diagnosis benign and malignant pulmonary lesions.An alternative method called PCL was performed on 16 patients having peripherally located lesions with thin walls which were not suitable for tissue biopsy whose could be made by sputum examination bronchoscopic procedures. A 22-gauge needle inserted into the cavity under computed tomography (CT) guidance. Saline injected through then aspirated. The...

Background: Identifying the craniofacial abnormalities that cause snoring and narrowest area of upper airway creating obstructions can help to determine proper method treatment.Aim: To identify factors areas are most likely collapse with imaging.Material Methods: Axial pharynx examinations CT (computerized tomography) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed 38 patients complaining 12 who did not complain snoring.The nasopharynx, hypophraynx, oropharynx, bilateral para-pharyngeal fat...
