Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of the MRI and CT results to the differential diagnosis of histopathologically different odontogenic cysts. Background: Odontogenic cysts are commonly seen in the jaw bone and their surgical operations have an important place in the practice of maxillofacial surgery; treatment options for these cysts differ according to their histopathology. Differential results that can be obtained Read More

Background: Intramedullary well-differentiated osteosarcoma (IMWDOS) is rare and may easily be misdiagnosed. Objective: This study aimed at investigating the clinical, imaging, and pathological features of IMWDOS for correct diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Seventeen patients with IMWDOS were enrolled, and their clinical, imaging, and pathological data were analyzed. Results: Total 13 males and 4 females aged 19- Read More

Background: COVID-19 patients' courses vary in length, indicating a variable prognosis. The disease duration revealed by different examination methods may differ. Objective: The study aims to compare the differences in the disease course of patients with COVID-19 by chest computed tomography (CT) and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay and explore the factors that affect the course of t Read More

Background: The Bosniak classification system based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) is commonly used for the differential diagnosis of cystic renal masses. Contrastenhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a relatively novel technique, which has gradually played an important role in the diagnosis of cystic renal cell carcinoma (CRCC) due to its safety and lowest price. Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate t Read More

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the diagnosis of dynamic volume computed tomography (CT) for pulsatile tinnitus caused by sigmoid sinus diverticulum (SSD) and bone defects. Methods: Data obtained by dynamic volume CT from 35 patients with SSD were retrospectively collected. Then the ear morphological parameters, including bone defect, transverse sinus stenosis, position of the jugular bulb, jugular Read More

Background: Ovarian tumor is a common female genital tumor, among which malignant tumors have a poor prognosis. The survival rate of 70% of patients with ovarian cancer is less than 5 years, while benign ovarian tumor is better, so the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is important for the treatment and prognosis of patients. Objectives: Our aim is to establish a classification model for ovarian tumors. Methods: We extracte Read More

Background: It is important for orthopedic surgeons to follow the union of the fracture after surgery. This becomes even more important after nonunion surgery. The radiological union scale is popular in the follow-up of unions. However, the intraobserver and interobserver agreement of this scale in humeral nonunion surgery is still not found in the literature. Objective: This study aimed to reveal the intra/interobserver agr Read More

Background: Diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is mainly based on molecular testing. General population studies have shown that chest Computed Tomography (CT) can also be useful. Objective: The study aims to examine the usefulness of high-resolution chest CT for early diagnosis of patients with suspected COVID-19. Design And Setting: This is a cross-sectional study from May 1, 2020, to August 31, 2021, Read More

Background: β-blockers are widely used for lowering heart rate (HR) during coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA); however, they should be used with caution for patients with heart failure as they may have a negative inotropic effect. Objective: To clarify the effects of β-blockers (oral and intravenous injection) on cardiac function using CCTA. Methods: A total of 244 patients (men: women = 166: 78; mean Read More

Introduction: This is a rare case report of axillary intraductal papilloma arising in accessory breast tissue. Case Presentation: A 49-year-old woman presented to our clinic with a palpable right axillary mass that had first appeared 6 months earlier. Mammography and ultrasonography of the right axilla revealed an ovoid mass surrounding accessory breast tissue. Ultrasound-guided 14-G core-needle biopsy was performed and path Read More

Introduction: The number of cesarean deliveries (CDs) has extremely increased in the last decades. Although it is a common and relatively safe surgical procedure, there are several potential complications. To the best of our knowledge, complete cervicouterine dissociation after several CDs has not been reported before in the medical literature. Case Report: A 28-year-old woman with a history of 6 CDs presented with abdom Read More

Background: A series of pneumonia cases with clinical presentations of viral pneumonia secondary to new coronavirus and subsequent global transmission arose in Wuhan, Hubei, China, in December 2019. Several cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been described incidentally in positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) as a result of the pand Read More

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19, previously known as novel coronavirus [2019-nCoV]), first reported in China, has now been declared a global health emergency by World Health Organization. The clinical severity ranges from asymptomatic individuals to death. Here, we report clinical features and radiological changes of a cured family cluster infected with COVID-19. Case Presentation: In this report, we e Read More

Background: Renal leiomyoma is a challenging diagnostic and therapeutic condition. Given that 90% of leiomyomas originate from the renal capsule, leiomyoma presenting as a renal parenchymal mass is extraordinarily rare. Case Presentation: Herein, we report the clinical and imaging features of a patient with renal leiomyoma occurring in the renal parenchyma and mimicking renal cell carcinoma. We also review the c Read More
