Current Medical Imaging - Volume 19, Issue 14, 2023

As a convenient and non-invasive diagnostic method, computed tomography (CT) has been developing continuously, and dual-energy CT imaging is one of its current research hotspots. Dualenergy CT, using two different X-ray energies for imaging, can generate spectral image sets such as virtual monoenergetic images, virtual non-contrast images, iodine density images, uric acid images, calcium inhibition images, and effec Read More

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a global pandemic with over 600 million cases identified. In addition to extensive pulmonary complications of COVID-19, one feature unique to many patients with severe COVID-19 infections is coagulopathy with a rising prevalence of multi-systemic thromboembolic manifestations. Global data suggests a relationship between coagulopathy and mortality. In this review, we highlight multiple COVID-19 t Read More

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a bone disease that mainly affects the cartilage. Even though there are many diseases that are commonly noticed in bones, one of the most dangerous diseases is OA. The breakdown of the cartilage bone is the cause of OA. According to the survey given by the National Institute on Aging, it is revealed that most of the people in their old age are at the very advanced stage of OA. X-ray is the common ima Read More

Purpose: Breast cancer is fatal if it is not diagnosed and treated promptly; consequently, early and precise diagnosis is essential. In comparison to mammography and sonography, the sensitivity of MRI to cellular changes and its ability to differentiate benign from malignant tumors make it the preferred imaging technique. Consequently, the present meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of different imaging modalities for br Read More

Background: One of the neurodevelopmental disorders widely affecting school-aged children in recent years is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In many neurodevelopmental disorders, grey matter may be used as a clinical indicator by looking at MRIs. Objective: The study aimed to segment grey matter from brain MRI using a proposed fuzzy c-means clustering-based technique for the detection of ADHD an Read More

Objective: The presence of gastroparesis in patients with dyspepsia can be evaluated by gastric emptying scintigraphy. We aimed to evaluate gastroparesis with optimal solid gastric emptying scintigraphy and suboptimal liquid gastric emptying scintigraphy in euthyroid goiter patients with dyspepsia. Methods: We included 67 patients diagnosed with euthyroid goiter with dyspepsia complaints. The patients did not use any m Read More

Background: A routine ultrasound scan is used to assess a variety of renal pathological cases. Sonographers face a variety of challenges that may affect their interpretation. Understanding normal organ shapes, human anatomy, physical concepts, and artifacts is required for accurate diagnosis. Sonographers must understand how artifacts appear in ultrasound images in order to reduce errors and improve diagnosis. T Read More

Background: The ultrasound imaging findings and clinical treatment procedure of a case of fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median nerve are reported in this paper. The disease diagnosis was mainly dependent on magnetic resonance, and rarely described by ultrasound. This paper introduces the imaging manifestations of median neurofibromatoid hamartoma under ultrasound. Case Presentation: This case is a mid Read More

Introduction: Pediatric pituitary adenomas are rare, resulting in a limited amount of literature on these patients. The incidence of calcification in adult patients with pituitary adenomas is only 0.2% to 8%, while the incidence of calcification in children has not been reported. Case Report: In this paper, we report a 10-year-old girl with a calcified pituitary adenoma. Laboratory examination showed the growth hormone (GH) to be Read More

Background: Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an effective treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), however, the complications of TACE have gradually become a concern of clinicians. Injury to the bile duct has been the focus of many scholars. Case Presentation: HCC was diagnosed in a 51-year-old female patient, and the first TACE was performed on April 10, 2020. The second TACE Read More
