Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of computed tomography (CT) findings for characterizing pleural effusions with the use of attenuation values.
Material/methods: One hundred and twenty eight patients with pleural effusions on thoracic CT who underwent thoracentesisis within two weeks were studied. Pleural effusions were classified as exudates or transudates according to the Light's criteria.
Background/aim: We aimed to detect the incidence of breast arterial calcification (BAC) in patients that underwent mammography and to reveal the relationship of BAC with cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular risk factors, parity, and breastfeeding.
Materials And Methods: A total of 1195 female patients were included in this study. Cases that were positive for BAC during mammography were recorded.
Article Synopsis
- The study assesses how the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of kidney tissue relate to the severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and serum creatinine levels in patients.
- Researchers analyzed MRI scans of 110 patients, measuring ADC values in various regions of the kidneys, and found significant differences in these values across different CKD stages.
- The findings suggest that while ADC values can indicate renal dysfunction, specific thresholds are necessary to accurately classify CKD stages in diverse patient populations.
