Detection of Early Postoperative Active Bleeding After Liver Transplantation in Pediatric Patients by 384-Slice Computed Tomography Angiography.

Liver transplant is a complex procedure often complicated by postoperative bleeding events. Early detection of active bleeding is crucial for effective intervention. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of 384-slice computed tomography angiography in identifying early postoperative active bleeding events after liver transplant.

Are the Classifications Used to Determine Hepatic Artery Variations in Liver Donors Sufficient?

Objectives: Liver transplant from a living donor is a more challenging procedure than liver transplant from a deceased donor, given that optimal blood supply to both the remaining liver segment in the donor and the graft must be maintained to ensure successful donor hepatectomy. During surgical planning, in addition to calculation of volumetric data with multidetector tomography, the anatomy of the hepatic artery, portal vein, and hepatic vein must also be meticulously determined, with the most commonly used clas-sification methods for hepatic artery variations being the Michels and Hiatt classifications. Although these classification methods can accurately group most patients, we often encounter a large number of patients who cannot be grouped or who exhibit other variations that accompany the defined group.

Which sequence should be used in the thorax magnetic resonance imaging of COVID-19: a comparative study.

Background And Aim: To evaluate and compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences that could potentially be used in the diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Materials And Methods: Included in the study were 42 patient who underwent thorax computed tomography (CT) for COVID-19 pneumonia and thorax MRI for any reason within 24 h after CT. The T2-weighted fast spin echo periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER) (T2W-FSE-P), fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition, T2 fat-saturated FSE, axial T1 liver acquisition with volume acceleration (LAVA) and single-shot FSE images were compared in terms of their ability to show COVID-19 findings.

Diagnostic Contribution of Additional Sequences to the Evaluation of Cord Lesions in Patients with Cervical Spinal Multiple Sclerosis in Turkey: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults. Spinal cord involvement is observed in 55-75% of patients with MS.

Aim: To identify the strengths and shortcomings of sagittal phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR), sagittal proton density/T2-weighted (PD/T2W), and axial turbo inversion recovery magnitude (TIRM) sequences in the detection of cervical MS plaques by comparing with routine sequences (axial and sagittal T2W, sagittal T1W, sagittal TIRM, fat-suppressed contrast T1W) and therefore determine their diagnostic contributions.

The overlooked symptom of coccydynia: evaluation of sacrococcygeal morphologic and morphometric findings.

Background: Coccydynia is one of the most overlooked symptoms in daily clinical practice. Definitions for radiologic evaluation are controversial.

Objectives: We aimed to compare the morphology and morphometric measurements of the sacrococcygeal region with those of a healthy population to support radiologic decision-making.
