Pediatric gynecologic ultrasound.

This article reviews salient features of pediatric gynecologic ultrasound. It reviews technologic factors, technique, and normal anatomy used to evaluate the pediatric gynecologic tract for abnormality. It reviews and illustrates clinical imaging information necessary to know in the ultrasonic analysis of several clinical problems in the pediatric gynecologic tract.

Radionuclide three-phase whole-body bone imaging.

Purpose: To describe the radionuclide three-phase whole-body bone imaging (TPWBBI) technique and discuss the usefulness of its application.

Materials And Methods: TPWBBI was performed after a single intravenous injection of 555 to 925 MBq (15 to 25 mCi) Tc-99m MDP. Whole-body arterial flow (phase one) followed by blood-pool and tissue perfusion (phase two) images were obtained with the moving detector head speed set at 150 cm/minute and 40 cm/minute, respectively.

Role of CT in left-sided acute appendicitis: case report.

We present the computed tomographic findings in a case of left-sided acute appendicitis associated with midgut malrotation, which is a rare anomaly. The inflamed appendix was visualized as a tubular, fluid-filled, enhancing structure in the left lower quadrant. The entire colon was located in the left abdomen.

Subcutaneous whole-body radionuclide venography using Tc-99m in vivo tagged red blood cells.

Purpose: The accurate diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is essential to prevent its complications and to initiate appropriate treatment. Doppler ultrasound (DUS), contrast venography, and intravenous radionuclide venography have been used for many years to detect DVT. However, obtaining venous access in the foot for injection of contrast agent can be difficult.
