Comparison of coronary CT angiography and invasive coronary angiography results.

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Accurate diagnosis and management are critical. Non-invasive imaging, such as coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), is vital for early diagnosis and treatment planning.

Relation between anterior ethmoidal artery course on computed tomography and supraorbital ethmoid cell and Keros classification.

Purpose: The anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) is an important risk area in endoscopic sinus surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the course of AEA according to the Keros classification and the presence of supraorbital ethmoid cell (SOEC) and to prevent possible complications by emphasizing the importance of preoperative paranasal computed tomography (CT) imaging. This approach will increase the effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery and improve patient safety.

Comparison of axial and coronal axis MRI kidney volume measurement in pediatric congenital solitary kidney.

Background: Accurate estimation of kidney size and volume in the solitary functioning kidney is crucial because of a higher risk of developing kidney injury. MRI is an accurate method and is suitable for kidney volume measurement. Usually, axial axis images and measurement methods are preferred for kidney volume measurements.

CT Evaluation of Swallowed Foreign Bodies Located in the Gastrointestinal System.

Background and objective CT imaging is important in detecting the location and the structure of swallowed foreign bodies and assessing their complications, due to its features such as the ability to show the detailed anatomical structure and enable multiplanar examination. In this study, we aimed to analyze the CT findings of swallowed foreign bodies located in the gastrointestinal tract and compare them with the data in the existing literature. Materials and methods We conducted a retrospective archive study to achieve our goals.

Evaluation of thyroid Zuckerkandl tubercle by computed tomography.

Purpose: This study investigated the incidence of thyroid Zuckerkandl Tubercle (ZT) using a computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck with contrast to identify the typologies in ZT-positive CT scans, investigate the presence of nodules located in that area, and compare the results with the relevant literature.

Methods: We selected and retrospectively examined the CT scan images of patients who presented to our clinic with CT scans of the neck with contrast that clearly showed thyroid tissue and boundaries. Patients were evaluated based on age, gender, and presence of thyroid ZT.

Persistent trigeminal artery detected on computed tomography angiography.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of persistent trigeminal arteries (PTAs) using computed tomography (CT) angiography, emphasize its major characteristics, and compare the findings with those reported in the relevant literature.

Methods: Patients who underwent cerebral CT angiography in our radiology clinic for any preliminary diagnosis between December 2013 and December 2020 were included in this retrospective study. The patients were reviewed in terms of their age, sex, and the presence of PTAs.

Evaluation of the multi-slice computed tomography outcomes in diaphragmatic injuries related to penetrating and blunt trauma.

Purpose: Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is a diagnostic challenge for both surgeons and radiologists and generally occurs secondary to blunt and penetrating trauma of thoracoabdominal region.

Material And Methods: 56 patients who underwent surgical procedure due to blunt or penetrating trauma were included to the study.

Results: There were 37 diaphragmatic ruptures in the left side and 19 patients in the right side.

Detection of incidental pulmonary embolism with multi-slice computed tomography in cancer patients.

The aim of this study is to show the frequency of incidentally found (pulmonary thromboembolism) PTE in oncological patients and evaluate dispersion of incidents in terms of underlying primary tumor and seek risk factors associated with incidental PTE. Among one thousand oncology patients, 46 (4.6%) individuals found to have incidental PTE.
