Anatomical insights into medial-sided talar dome osteochondral lesions: a comparative analysis of unilateral and bilateral cases and healthy controls using MRI measurements.

Background: The etiology of medial-sided talar osteochondral lesions (OCLs) remains insufficiently understood.

Purpose: To identify anatomical risk factors contributing to the development of unilateral or bilateral OCL of the talus on the medial side, utilizing morphological parameters derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Material And Methods: In this retrospective study, 24 ankle MRI scans from 12 patients exhibiting bilateral OCLs of the talar dome on the medial side, 24 ankle MRIs from 24 patients with unilateral medial-sided OCLs, and 24 healthy controls matched for age, sex, and side within each group were analyzed.

Axillary lymph node dissection is not required for breast cancer patients with minimal axillary residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is widely used in patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Still, axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is recommended for patients with any axillary residual disease after NAC. The necessity of ALND in patients with minimal axillary disease is unclear.

Evaluation of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Response in Rectal Cancer Using MR Images and Deep Learning Neural Networks.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to develop deep-learning neural networks to guide treatment decisions and for the accurate evaluation of tumor response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in rectal cancer using magnetic resonance (MR) images.

Methods: Fifty-nine tumors with stage 2 or 3 rectal cancer that received nCRT were retrospectively evaluated. Pathological tumor regression grading was carried out using the Dworak (Dw-TRG) guidelines and served as the ground truth for response predictions.

Anatomical factors in the development of medial-sided osteochondral lesion of the talus: a comparative analysis.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine anatomical predictors for the occurrence of medial osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT), by analyzing morphometric variables obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: A total of 430 ankles with 215 ankle MRIs from patients with nontraumatic OLTs on the medial side of the talar dome and an equal number of age, sex, and side-matched healthy controls were analyzed in this retrospective study. The specific MRI parameters that were measured include the anterior opening angle of the talus (AOT), the angle between the tibial axis and medial malleolus (TMM), the angle of the tibial plafond to the malleoli (PMA), the angle between the anterior and posterior talofibular ligaments (ATFL-PTFL angle), length of the trochlea tali arc (TAL), sagittal length of distal tibial articular surface (TAS), the ratio of the sagittal length of distal tibial articular surface to the length of the trochlea tali arc (TAS/TAL), and the depth of the incisura fibularis (IncDep).

Thorax computed tomography (CTX) guided ground truth annotation of CHEST radiographs (CXR) for improved classification and detection of COVID-19.

Several data sets have been collected and various artificial intelligence models have been developed for COVID-19 classification and detection from both chest radiography (CXR) and thorax computed tomography (CTX) images. However, the pitfalls and shortcomings of these systems significantly limit their clinical use. In this respect, improving the weaknesses of advanced models can be very effective besides developing new ones.

Radiological Findings in SARS-CoV-2 Viral Pneumonia Compared to Other Viral Pneumonias: A Single-Centre Study.

Background: Thorax computed tomography (CT) imaging is widely used as a diagnostic method in the diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related pneumonia. Radiological differential diagnosis and isolation of other viral agents causing pneumonia in patients have gained importance, particularly during the pandemic.

Aims: We aimed to investigate whether there is a difference between CT images from patients with COVID-19-associated pneumonia compared to CT images of patients with pneumonia due to other viral agents and which finding may be more effective in diagnosis.

Trichobezoar presenting as an acute abdominal obstruction in a 17-year-old girl.

Trichobezoars are hairballs that combine with food residue in the digestive tract as a result of ingesting hair. A 17-year-old girl was admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain and vomiting for 3 days. She had been having digestive difficulty and bloating for the previous 2 months.

Pancreatic MR imaging and endocrine complications in patients with beta-thalassemia: a single-center experience.

Iron deposition in various organs can cause endocrine complications in patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia. The aim was to investigate the relationship between endocrine complications and pancreatic iron overload using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Forty patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) were enrolled in the study.

Correlation of laboratory parameters and Chest CT findings in young adults with COVID-19 and comparison of imaging findings with children.

Purpose: We aimed to compare COVID-19 imaging findings of young adults (19-35 years of age) with those of children (0-18 years) and to correlate imaging findings of young adults with their laboratory tests.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed 130 young adults (mean age: 28.39 ± 4.

Imaging Features of Pediatric COVID-19 on Chest Radiography and Chest CT: A Retrospective, Single-Center Study.

Rationale And Objectives: This study aims to reveal the imaging features of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-nine chest radiographs and 37 chest CT examinations of 74 children (36 male; median (interquartile range) age:11 (6.25-15) years, 38 female; median (interquartile range) age: 12 (5.

Covid-19: Correlation of Early Chest Computed Tomography Findings With the Course of Disease.

Objective: To investigate the role of chest computed tomography (CT) examinations acquired early after initial onset of symptoms in predicting disease course in coronavirus disease 2019.

Methods: Two hundred sixty-two patients were categorized according to intensive care unit (ICU) admission, survival, length of hospital stay, and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction positivity. Mean time interval between the onset of symptoms and CT scan was 5.

Encapsulated Papillary Carcinoma in A Man with Gynecomastia: Ultrasonography, Mammography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features with Pathologic Correlation.

Male breast cancer is an uncommon disease that constitutes 1% of all breast cancers and encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) is a rare subtype of malignant male diseases. Gynecomastia is the most common disease of the male breast. We report a 63-year-old male patient with EPC accompanied by gynecomastia that was diagnosed and treated at our breast center.

Evaluation of parotid glands in healthy children and adolescents using shear wave elastography and superb microvascular imaging.
