A Multicentric Audit to Reevaluate the Guidelines Adherence in Computed Tomography of Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder (CT-KUB) X-ray Imaging in Jordan.

Background With the increasing use of imaging techniques involving ionizing radiation, the area of the body scanned should be restricted to what is required to answer the clinical question. Therefore, this is a retrospective audit that intends to evaluate the presence of overscanning in renal computed tomography (CT) scan images during the process of evaluation for urinary symptoms. Objective This study aims to reduce the unnecessary scan length and exposure to radiation in patients who undergo CT scans for urinary symptoms.

An Intestinal Type Gastric Neuroendocrine Tumor: A Case Report.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) represent a diverse set of malignancies, originating from the neuroendocrine cells dispersed throughout the body. Their symptoms are associated with the secretion of bioactive peptides by tumor cells. Five-year survival rates depend on the disease stage: 93% for local, 74% for regional, and 19% for metastatic disease.
