Novel description on esophageal timed barium swallow: a correlation between advanced parametrization and esophageal X-ray images.

Aim: The TBS-derived image processing method, based on the observer's diagnosis, has been developed in the current investigation. Image parametrization is proposed for both novel description and convergent shreds of evidence.

Background: Condensed X-ray images of the esophageal timed barium swallow (TBS) provide substantial implications for elucidating the pathophysiological dimensions of esophageal motility disorders.

A Practical, Clinical User-Friendly Format for Breast Ultrasound Report.

Objective: Breast ultrasound (BUS) is often performed as an adjunct to mammography in breast cancer screening or for evaluating breast lesions. Our aim was to design a practical and user-friendly format for BUS that could include the details of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System.

Materials And Methods: As a team of radiologists and surgeons trained in the management of breast diseases, we gathered and carried out the project in four phases-literature search and collection of present report formats, summarizing key points and preparing the first draft, seeking expert opinion and preparing the final format, and pilot testing-followed by a survey was answered by the research team's radiologists and surgeons.

Magnetic resonance mammography in comparison with mammography in the discovery of multifocal, multicentric and bilateral lesions of breast cancer.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the health system problems and important diseases that is rising in developing and advanced countries.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the difference of Magnetic Resonance Mammography (MRM) findings versus mammography in detecting multifocal, multi-centric and malignant bilateral lesions in patients with known breast cancer in Tehran.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Iran and Tehran among breast cancer patients between January 2015 and February 2016.

The diagnostic value of anthropometric indices of maxillary sinuses for sex determination using CT-scan images in Iranian adults: A cross-sectional study.

Background: The identification of human remains is an essential part of forensic science. Studying paranasal sinuses is very useful in identification of mutilated or burnt bodies from accidents such as plane crashes. We aimed to assess the diagnostic value of anthropometric indices of maxillary sinuses for sex determination using CT-scan images in Iranian adults.

Frontal sinus parameters in computed tomography and sex determination.

The frontal sinus is a sturdy part of the skull that is likely to be retrieved for forensic investigations. We evaluated frontal sinus parameters in paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) images for sex determination. The study was conducted on 200 normal paranasal sinus CT images of 100 men and 100 women of Persian origin.

Sexing based on measurements of the femoral head parameters on pelvic radiographs.

Background And Aim: Previous studies have shown that the collo-diaphysial angle varies by race and sex in different populations. This study was performed to compare the femoral head parameters in the two sexes using pelvic radiography in Iranian adults during the August 2011 to August 2012 period.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 100 male and 100 female.

Correlation of hepatic vein Doppler waveform and hepatic artery resistance index with the severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Purpose: The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of various degrees of fatty infiltration in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease on hepatic artery resistance index and hepatic vein waveform patterns.

Methods: After identification and grading of fatty infiltration, 60 patients and 20 normal healthy subjects were examined using color and spectral Doppler sonography. The level of fatty liver infiltration was ascertained and graded by biopsy in patients and excluded by MRI in controls.

Inspiratory and expiratory high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in patients with chemical warfare agents exposure.

Chemical warfare agents (CWA) including sulfur mustard (SM) were commonly used in Iran-Iraq war. Respiratory problems are the greatest cause of long-term disability among people who had combat exposure to SM. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has been accepted as the imaging modality of choice in these patients.
