The Shapes and Normal Dimensions of the Sella Turcica.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the normal dimensions and shape of the sella turcica (ST) in the Turkish population using multidetector computed tomography.

Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included 188 patients who met the study criteria and had paranasal multidetector computed tomography taken between January 2019 and December 2019. The patients included in the study comprised 77 females and 111 males.

Imaging findings and classification of the common and uncommon male breast diseases.

Male breast hosts various pathological conditions just like "female breast." However, histo-anatomical diversities with female breast lead to many differences regarding the frequency and presentation of diseases, the radiologic appearance of lesions, the diagnostic algorithm, and malignity features.Radiological modalities may play an important role in evaluating male breast lesions.

Comparison of kidney densities of cases with urinary dilatation in unenhanced CT scan.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of renal parenchymal density differences in distinguishing between acute and chronic urinary dilatations.

Material And Methods: Retrospectively, unenhanced CTs of 98 patients were evaluated. Thirty-three had acute urinary obstruction, and 33 had chronic urinary obstruction.

An Interesting Relationship Between Maternal Adipose Tissue Thickness and Maternal Pelvicalyceal System Dilatation.

Purpose: To evaluate whether maternal body mass index (BMI), visceral adipose tissue (VAT) thickness, and sub-cutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) thickness have effects on maternal pelvicalyceal system dilatation, which develops during pregnancy.

Materials And Methods: Between April 2018 and November 2018, a total of 120 pregnant women aged between 18-35 years in their third trimester were included in this prospective observational study. For each pregnant wom-an, SAT and VAT thicknesses were measured and renal sonography was performed by the same radiologist and obstetric ultrasound was performed by the same obstetrician.

Splenectomy proportions are still high in low-grade traumatic splenic injury.

Objective: The spleen is the most vulnerable organ in blunt abdominal trauma. Spleen-preserving treatments are non-operative management with or without splenic angioembolization, partial splenectomy, and splenorrhaphy. The aim of the present study was to determine the rate of SPTs and to evaluate the usefulness of Injury Severity Score after traumatic splenic injury.

Magnetic resonance-based pelvimetry and tumor volumetry can predict surgical difficulty and oncologic outcome in locally advanced mid-low rectal cancer.

Purpose: To investigate the impact of the pelvic dimensions and tumor volume on surgery in locally advanced rectal cancer.

Methods: Patients who underwent open surgery after neoadjuvant long-course chemoradiation for primary rectal cancer were included. The predictive value of magnetic resonance-based pelvic measurements and tumor volume on the surgical difficulty and oncologic outcome were analyzed.

The reliability of ultrasonography in developmental dysplasia of the hip: How reliable is it in different hands?

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the most common skeletal dysplasia. Two principal methods used in early diagnosis of DDH are clinical examination and ultrasonographic investigation. Dogruel et al.

The role of multidetector CT in local staging and evaluation of retroperitoneal surgical margin involvement in colon cancer.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate preoperative T and N staging and retroperitoneal surgical margin (RSM) involvement in colon cancer using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).

Methods: In this retrospective study, preoperative MDCTs of 141 patients with colon adenocarcinoma were evaluated in terms of T and N staging and retroperitoneal surgical margin involvement by two observers. Results were compared with histopathology.

The place of indirect venography tests after pulmonary computed tomography angiography in the diagnosis of pulmonary thromboemboli.

Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of indirect computed tomography (CT) venography applied after pulmonary CT angiography to patients with suspected pulmonary embolism.

Material And Methods: The study comprised 80 patients at high/moderate risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) according to the clinical findings. Computed tomography venography (CTV) was performed 3-3.

Diffusion-weighted MRI and MR- volumetry--in the evaluation of tumor response after preoperative chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Purpose: To determine the diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted MRI and MR volumetry for the assessment of tumor response after preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Materials And Methods: Forty-three patients with rectal cancer who underwent preoperative CRT were prospectively examined for the study. This prospective study was approved by our institutional review board.
