Point shear wave elastography application in assessment pancreas tissue stiffness: A pilot study.

Introduction: Recent advancements in medical imaging, such as point shear wave elastography (pSWE), offer non-invasive methods to assess tissue stiffness and structural changes. This study explores the use of pSWE to evaluate pancreatic stiffness and dimensions in three different pancreas parts.

Methods: This study was conducted at diagnostic radiology department, King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, between June 2022 and November,2022.

Dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma with a novel low-grade leiomyosarcomatous and high-grade conventional osteosarcomatous differentiation: Case report and review of literature.

Introduction & Importance: Parosteal osteosarcoma is an uncommon, low-grade, well differentiated malignant bone neoplasm with a more favorable prognosis compared to other types of osteosarcoma. Dedifferentiation is a well-known phenomenon, observed in 16-24.6 % of cases, leads to a combination of low-grade fibroblastic osteosarcoma and high-grade sarcoma.

The Association Between Gonarthrosis Pain Severity and Radiographic Findings on X-Ray: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative joint disease that progresses over time due to articular cartilage loss. Orthopedic surgeons use plain radiography (X-ray) with an anteroposterior (AP) standing (weight-bearing) view, which is currently considered the gold standard modality, to diagnose KOA. They base this diagnosis on the clinical history and physical examination of the knee joint.

Enhancement of Anemia Detection by Correlating Computed Tomography Findings of Abdominal Aorta and Inferior Vena Cava With Laboratory Investigations.

Anemia affects approximately a quarter of the global population, and improved detection may reduce the associated morbidity and mortality. This study investigated correlations between the results of laboratory hematological determinations of hemoglobin levels and attenuation values measured in the lumina of the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava (IVC) via unenhanced computed tomography (CT) with the aim of expanding diagnostic options for anemia. The data of 423 patients who underwent abdominal unenhanced CT examinations and laboratory examinations at a tertiary hospital were retrospectively evaluated.

Reference for Normal Diameters of the Abdominal Aorta and Common Iliac Arteries in the Saudi Population.

The abdominal aorta is the largest artery in the abdomen. It then bifurcates giving the two common iliac arteries. Knowing the normal abdominal aorta diameter is a basis for diagnosing abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and subsequently developing an optimal management plan.
