Is 64-Row Multi-Detector Computed Tomography Angiography Equal to Digital Subtraction Angiography in Treatment Planning in Critical Limb Ischemia?

Background: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) represents the end stage of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). It is defined as a chronic ischemic rest pain, ulcers or gangrene, attributable to proven arterial occlusive disease. Intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (IA DSA) still represents the gold standard for the evaluation of steno-occlusive lesions, but it has greatly been replaced with non-invasive multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA).

Possibilities of differentiation of solitary focal liver lesions by computed tomography perfusion.

Aim: To evaluate possibilities of computed tomography (CT) perfusion in differentiation of solitary focal liver lesions based on their characteristic vascularization through perfusion parameters analysis.

Methods: Prospective study was conducted on 50 patients in the period 2009-2012. Patients were divided in two groups: benign and malignant lesions.

Magnetic resonance urography in children - when and why?

Background: The aim of the study was to determine the potential of magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in evaluation of paediatric urinary tract pathologies. PATIENTS AND METHODS.: Twenty-one paediatric urological patients were evaluated with T1, T2 prior and after and 3D gradient echo sequences after the contrast administration.

Patient doses in interventional cardiology in Bosnia and Herzegovina: first results.

Cardiologists at the Cardiac Centre of the Clinical Centre of Sarajevo University performed invasive cardiology procedures in one room equipped with a Siemens Coroskop (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) unit with the possibility of digital cine imaging. The number of procedures performed with this unit is 1126 per year. The number of adults performing only diagnostic procedures is 816, therapeutic procedures 62 and both diagnostic and therapeutic 228.

Percutaneous transarterial kidney embolization.

Introduction: In advanced stage of renal carcinoma especially in right kidney because of proximity of inferior vena cava in most centers preoperative embolization of kidney is performed in purpose of facilitating surgery and reducing pre- and postoperative complications. In certain number of patients with indication for inoperability, complete embolization is performed in order.to prevent complications like bleeding.
