Uterine cervical malignancy: diagnostic accuracy of MRI with histopathologic correlation.

Objective: Cervical cancer is the third most common malignancy in women worldwide. Accurate staging of the disease is crucial in planning the optimal treatment strategy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the assessment of extension and staging of cervical malignancy in correlation with histopathologic examination.

Gender determination from hand bones length and volume using multidetector computed tomography: a study in Egyptian people.

Determination of sex from incomplete skeletal and decomposing human remains is particularly important in personal identification. Measurements of hand bones length have been shown to be sexually dimorphic in many nationalities. Since the validity of discriminant function equation in sex determination is population specific; the purpose of this study is to assess sex from the hand bones length in a contemporary Egyptian population using data derived from both multiplanar (two-dimensional) and volumetric (three-dimensional) reformatted images of multidetector CT to derive special equations for sex determination in Egyptians.
