Purpose: This review aimed to summarize the available literature on the clinical application of [18F] FLT PET imaging in primary brain tumours. Methods: A comprehensive search strategy based on Pubmed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and the Embase databases was carried on using the following search string: ('3` Fluorothymidine'/exp OR 'FLT' OR '[81F]-FLT' OR '[18F] Fluorothymidine') Read More

Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate the consequences of using CArm Cone-Beam computed Tomography (CBCT) on super-selective catheterization of Hepatic Artery (HA) branches during chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Two groups of patients were created according to the dates of their treatment sessions. Group A and Group B included patients who had their treatment sessio Read More

Background: Computed tomography (CT) evaluation systematics has become necessary to eliminate the difference of opinion among radiologists in evaluating COVID-19 CT findings. Introduction: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficiency of CO-RADS scoring system in our patients with COVID-19 as well as to examine its correlation with clinical and laboratory findings. Methods: The CO-RADS category of all Read More

Background: Image registration is the process of aligning two or more images in a single coordinate. Nowadays, medical image registration plays a significant role in computer-assisted disease diagnosis, treatment, and surgery. The different modalities available in the medical image make medical image registration an essential step in Computer Assisted Diagnosis (CAD), Computer- Aided Therapy (CAT) and Computer-Assis Read More

Objective: To examine the relation between perirenal fat volume, which is one of the visceral fat measurements, and kidney stones. Methods: 169 patients admitted to our clinic between January 2018 and May 2021 were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups as Control Group and Unilateral Kidney Stone Group (88 patients with unilateral kidney stones). Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomograp Read More

Background: The therapeutic approaches of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) are surgery, ablation therapy with the postoperative use of radioiodine-131 (131I), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression therapy. After the surgical therapy, the patient should be assessed for remnants/metastases. Objective: The purpose of this research was to investigate the role of technetium-99m-methoxyisobutylisonitrile ( Read More

Aims: Early detection of breast cancer has reduced many deaths. Earlier CAD systems used to be the second opinion for radiologists and clinicians. Machine learning and deep learning have brought tremendous changes in medical diagnosis and imagining. Background: Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer in women and it is the second most common cancer overall. According to the 2018 statistics, there were ov Read More

Background: We report a case of a 23-year-old man with a solitary fibrous tumor of the great omentum who presented clinically as a case of dull abdominal pain. Case Presentation: Solitary fibrous tumor normally occurs in the visceral pleura. Extrathoracic solitary fibrous tumor is rare, especially those from the great omentum, with approximately 31 cases reported in the literature. Conclusion: After reviewing and summ Read More

Background: Epithelial tumors are the most common subgroup and are seen in 60-70% of all ovarian tumors. Serous cystadenoma and mucinous cystadenoma are the most common benign epithelial tumors. Serous cystadenomas are ovarian tumors with the highest bilateral incidence. The coexistence of tumors with different histopathology in the ovaries is extremely rare and has only been reported in a few cases in the lite Read More

Background: Leishmaniasis is caused by protozoans that depend on female phlebotomine sandflies as vectors. The natural habitat of these sandflies is changing due to climatic changes, affecting the immunocompromised population, as more patients get immunocompromised due to cancer therapy in the present time. Case Report: We report the case of a 72-year-old patient with melanoma in whom we found visceral Read More

Background: Clinically, the recurrent artery of the Heubner (RAH) aneurysm is extremely rare, commonly presents with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Case Report: A 73-year-old man with a known moyamoya disease was presented as caudate hemorrhage attributable to an incidental flow aneurysm distal on the right RAH, which was managed conservatively after an unsuccessful endovascular attempt. Unfortunately, the p Read More

Background: Orbital metastasis of breast cancer is an unusual condition, especially in the absence of a previous diagnosis of primary breast cancer. The main MRI findings in patients with orbital metastasis are retroorbital soft tissue with thickening of extraocular muscles. Paradoxical enophthalmos secondary to fibrosis can be seen. Case Report: In this case report, we present a 75-year-old female patient with left eye Read More

Background: Kimura disease is a rare inflammatory condition classically manifested as painless subcutaneous nodules in the head and neck region and associated with regional cervical lymphadenopathy and salivary gland involvement. Objective: The purpose of this report is to illustrate the diagnostic difficulty due to its rarity and non-specific clinical presentation. Case Presentation: We present a case of Kimura disease with Read More

Background: Lung transplantation might be a viable alternative for patients with irreversible lung injury secondary to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Here, we describe two patients with end-stage COVID-19 that received lung transplantations, the clinical-radiologic manifestations of postoperative complications, and the imaging features of allograft rejection. Case Presentation: In case 1, a 66-year-old woman present Read More
