Are cerebral veins hounsfield unit and H: H ratio calculating in unenhanced CT eligible to diagnosis of acute cerebral vein thrombosis?

Background: For both the clinician and a radiologist, the diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), because of the variety of signs and symptoms, remains a challenge. In this study, the role of unenhanced brain computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of CVST was assessed.

Materials And Methods: In this case-control study, unenhanced CT of 35 patients with acute CVST was compared with 70 normal patients.

Prevalence of lymph node and maximum short axis in traumatic patients.

Background: Normal size of mesenteric lymph nodes has not been well evaluated, as these lymph nodes are small but may be seen frequently in computed tomography (CT). The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of mesenteric lymph nodes at root of mesentery and mesentery itself.

Materials And Methods: This is a cross-sectional study on traumatic patients with normal multidetector CT (MDCT) referred to Al-Zahra Hospital in 2014-2016.
