Skeletal maturity is evaluated by many radiological methods for forensic age estimation. Direct radiography and computed tomography lead to a rise in ethical concerns due to radiation exposure. Therefore, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has currently been used in recent studies.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: The aim was to compare coronary high-definition CT (HDCT) with standard-definition CT (SDCT) angiography as to radiation dose, image quality and accuracy.
Material And Methods: 28 patients with history of coronary artery disease scanned by HDCT (Discovery CT750 HD) and SDCT (Somatom Definition AS). The scan modes were both axial prospective ECG-triggered.
Article Synopsis
- * Of 41 biopsies analyzed, 28.7% resulted in pneumothorax and various other complications were noted, with significant correlations found with lesion size and the distance traversed in the lung tissue.
- * The findings indicate that smaller and deeper lesions are linked to a higher risk of complications, with lesion size and biopsy tract distance being the key influencing factors.

December 2016
Purpose: We aimed to investigate the effectiveness and complications of transthoracic CT-guided biopsy techniques.
Methods: A total of 94 CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic biopsy procedures performed in 85 patients were retrospectively evaluated. Core biopsy technique was used in 87 procedures and transthoracic fine-needle aspiration biopsy was used in seven procedures.
