Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) on a 3T MRI unit for detecting intraarticular problems in the knee after acute and chronic twisting injuries.
- A total of 63 patients with knee trauma were analyzed by experienced radiologists, focusing on conditions like meniscus and joint space injuries, with specific criteria for identifying hemorrhages and lesions.
- Results indicated that while SWI could identify blood-related issues around the joint, it was less effective in diagnosing meniscal injuries, which may impact treatment approaches for knee pathologies.
Aims Of The Study: To investigate the computed tomography (CT) density of frequently administered medications (1) for the better characterisation of substances on abdominal CT, (2) to allow radiologists to narrow down possibilities in the identification of hyperdense material in the bowel and (3) to provide forensic doctors with a tool to identify gastric contents before an autopsy.
Material And Methods: From the list of the local hospital pharmacy, the 50 most frequently used medications were identified and scanned twice with a 128 row CT scanner (Acquillion, Toshiba, Tokyo, Japan). The protocol comprised two tube voltages of 100 kVp and 120 kVp, with a tube current of 100 mAs, a collimation of 0.
