Role of CT Perfusion in Identifying the Core and the Potentially Salvageable Penumbra in Patients with Acute Non Haemorrhagic Stroke - Experience at Tertiary Care Center.

Objectives: To evaluate the role of CT Perfusion in Identifying the core and the potentially salvageable penumbra in brain infarcts by observing perfusion maps (CBV, CBF and MTT). Also to identify patients who would benefit from reperfusion therapy and to evaluate the feasibility of identifying the penumbra on noncontrast CT vide comparison with perfusion maps.

Materials And Methods: A prospective study of 50 patients who presented with acute onset neurological deficit within 6 hours of symptom onset and in whom initial NCCT revealed no evidence of cerebral hemorrhage; evaluated with CT Perfusion was done at tertiary care center in 1 calender year 2014.

Ectopic Pregnancy in caesarean section scar: A case report.

We report a rare case of ectopic pregnancy occurring in the scar of a previous caesarean section, diagnosed by ultrasonography and confirmed by 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging of pelvis. We present the clinical details and imaging findings, followed by discussion of the etiology, pathogenesis, and imaging of this condition.

Radiologic features of hydatid disease: the importance of sonography.

Hydatid disease is commonly encountered in specific geographic areas of the world. Hydatidosis affects multiple organs and has diverse radiologic presentations. Sonography remains an important modality for diagnosing this condition, as it optimally detects cystic structures, floating membranes, and debris.

Complete large bowel duplication with paraduodenal cyst: prenatal sonographic features.

Objectives: To illustrate diagnostic dilemmas while considering a diagnosis of complete large bowel duplication and duodenal duplication cysts.

Methods: A case of large bowel dilatation with a peripancreatic cyst was identified sonographically in a 27-year-old gravida 3 at 35 weeks of gestation, suffering from gestational diabetes and pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Results: On the basis of sonographic findings of dilated, hyperperistaltic large bowel loops, and a large cyst with echo-free contents near the pancreas, a diagnosis of large bowel obstruction with a paraduodenal cyst was considered.
