The prognostic role of ovarian endometriosis in symptomatic adenomyosis patients underwent uterine artery embolization.

Background: To explore the prognostic role of ovarian endometriosis in symptomatic adenomyosis patients underwent uterine artery embolization (UAE).

Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center study. A total of 76 patients with adenomyosis who underwent UAE in The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between May 2009 and July 2016 were enrolled in this study.

Unusual presentation of obscure Meckel diverticulum treated with robot-assisted diverticulectomy: A case report.

Introduction: Meckel diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital abnormality of gastrointestinal tract. Tough believed to occur in 2% of population, most of them remain veiled because majority are clinically asymptomatic and remain obscure in radiological examination.

Clinical Findings And Diagnosis: A 26-year-old male with episodic black colored stool since last 10 years.

[Assessment of 64-slice spiral computed tomography angiography with image fusion for perigastric arteries anatomy].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and clinical significance of 64-multislice spiral computed tomography angiography(MSCTA) with image fusion for the anatomy of perigastric arteries.

Methods: A total of 53 patients underwent abdominal 64-MSCTA, among whom 26 patients with gastric cancer underwent gastrectomy. Using volume rendering techniques, computed tomography angiography(CTA) of perigastric arteries and the stomach were reconstructed respectively, and then the images were fused together.

[Multi-slice spiral CT scan with lower dose for preoperative evaluation: living renal donor kidney morphology and the quantification of unilateral glomerular filtration rate].

Objective: To explore the feasibility of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT) with a lower dose as one-off examination for the preoperative morphology evaluation and the quantification of unilateral renal glomerular filtration rate of living renal donors.

Methods: A total of 36 living renal donors at our hospital from May 2008 to June 2009 were examined by 64-slice spiral CT and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Living renal donors were examined with a plain scan and three-phase enhancement CT scan.

Multi-detector row CT as a "one-stop" examination in the preoperative evaluation of the morphology and function of living renal donors: preliminary study.

We designed to investigate the feasibility of multi-detector row computerized tomography (CT) as a "one-stop" examination for the simultaneous preoperative evaluation of the morphology and function of living renal donors. 21 living renal donors were examined by 64-slice spiral CT with a three-phase enhancement CT scan and two inserted dynamic scans. The maximum intensity projection (MIP), multi-planar reformation (MPR), and volume reconstruction (VR) procedures were performed to compare the renal parenchyma, renal vessels, and collecting system with operational findings.

[Imaging features of lung carcinoma, pulmonary tuberculoma, and inflammatory pseudotumor on helical incremental dynamic CT scan--a report of 44 cases].

Background & Objective: Lung carcinoma, pulmonary tuberculoma, and inflammatory pesudotumor are the most common solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN). Computed tomography (CT) is the major diagnostic examination of them. Most recent reports focused on their morphologic features on CT.
