Utility of diffusion tensor imaging in differentiating benign from malignant thyroid nodules.

To assess diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in differentiating benign from malignant thyroid nodules. A retrospective analysis was done on 55 patients with thyroid nodules who had undergone DTI. The fraction anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) of the thyroid nodules were measured using region of interest (ROI) by two observers.

The role of diffusion tensor imaging of the liver in children with autoimmune hepatitis.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the liver in children with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).

Material And Methods: A prospective study was done on 42 children with AIH (30 girls and 12 boys, with a mean age of 13 years) and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy control children. They underwent DTI of the liver and laboratory tests.

A retained intrahepatic bullet in the Bermuda triangle: A case report of surgical extraction.

Introduction And Importance: The management of retained gunshot injury in the liver is not properly discussed in the literature.

Case Presentation: We describe a rare case of intrahepatic retained foreign body (bullet). Our patient is a 39-year old Yemeni soldier, who was exposed to firearm injury 10 months previously.

Mimickers of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on chest CT: spectrum of CT and clinical features.

COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a recently emerged pulmonary infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). It started in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and led to a highly contagious disease. Since then COVID-19 continues to spread, causing exponential morbidity and mortality and threatening economies worldwide.

Uterine Artery Embolization and Methotrexate Infusion as Sole Management for Caesarean Scar and Cervical Ectopic Pregnancies: A Single-Center Experience and Literature Review.

Introduction: The incidence of caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and cervical pregnancy (CP) has increased significantly in recent years. The related hemorrhage can be lethal and often needs hysterectomy. This study aims to assess the technical and clinical results of uterine artery embolization (UAE) combined with intra-arterial methotrexate (MTX) infusion for CSP and CP.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Differentiation Between Parotid Neoplasms.

Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the role of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for differentiation of parotid gland neoplasms.

Methods: Prospective study was conducted upon 52 consecutive patients (30 men, 22 women; aged 24-78 years; mean, 51 years) with parotid tumours that underwent multiparametric MRI using combined static MRI, dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The static MRI parameter, time signal intensity curves (TIC) derived from DCE-MRI, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of parotid tumours were correlated with histopathological findings.

Surgical Management of Giant Hepatic Hemangioma: Single Center's Experience with 144 Patients.

Background: Hepatic hemangioma (HH) is the most common benign solid tumor of the liver. The aim of this study is to review our experiences of surgical treatment for giant HH and to show the impact of HH size and type of surgical resection on surgical outcomes.

Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective study of the cases who underwent surgery for giant HH during the period from January 2000 to April 2017.
