Purpose: The aim of this study was to retrospectively review cases of intestinal anisakiasis diagnosed by CT over a 10-year period and to evaluate imaging findings associated with the disease.
Methods: This retrospective study included 71 patients with clinical suspicion of intestinal anisakiasis in whom an abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) was performed at a single institution between June 2011 and December 2021. To identify the cases, we used medical term search engines and the hospital's radiology case database.
Objective: To determine the predictive factors of pulmonary thromboembolic (PTE) in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) assessed in the emergency department at a tertiary hospital during the first pandemic wave.
Methods: Observational single-center study conducted in a retrospective cohort of patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (or high clinical-radiological suspicion) who underwent PTE screening by computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Predictive factors of PTE were explored using logistic regression, creating two predictive models (without or with D-dimer values).

Purpose: Gallbladder pathology is diverse, and imaging tests are essential tools for its diagnosis. Acute cholecystitis has multiple manifestations or complications, one of which is hemorrhagic cholecystitis (HC). In the current literature, this pathology has been described only in the spectrum of acute cholecystitis complications, case reports, or series with a maximum of 2 to 3 cases.

We restrospectively reviewed MDCT findings of acute pelvic disease and its mimics in women reporting to the emergency room at our institution from December 2006 to August 2008. We describe MDCT findings of gynecologic and obstetric disorders such as hemorrhagic ovarian cysts, ovarian torsion, pelvic inflammatory disease, ruptured ectopic pregnancy, intravascular leiomyomatosis, blunt maternal trauma, and postpartum and post-cesarean section complications.
