Resurgence of the Role of Computed-Tomography Myelogram in the Era of MRI for Surgical Decision-Making of Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disorder.

Background: Since the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into clinical practice in the mid-1980s, the role of computed tomography myelography (CTM) has become less important in spinal diagnostics but remains a method that is probably even superior to MRI for special clinical issues. The study aims to report the diagnostic utility of CTM as an adjunct to MRI in lumbar degenerative disc disorder (DDD).

Methods: Included were 20 patients who presented with symptomatic DDD but with MRI findings that did not correlate with the clinical features.

Incidental chest computed tomography findings in asymptomatic Covid-19 patients. A multicentre Indian perspective.

In December 2019, an unprecedented outbreak of pneumonia of unknown etiology emerged called COVID-19. A vast number of people affected by this disease are asymptomatic and yet contagious with up to 79% of COVID-19 infections reportedly caused by undocumented infections. Surprisingly, these asymptomatic subjects are also known to quietly harbor pneumonia changes on CT scans.

Differentiation of peritoneal tuberculosis from peritoneal carcinomatosis by the Omental Rim sign. A new sign on contrast enhanced multidetector computed tomography.

Introduction: Peritoneal TB (PTB) is the commonest presentation of abdominal TB. One of its close mimics is peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). We present a new sign of PTB on contrast enhanced multidetector computed tomography (CT) called the Omental Rim (CT-OR) sign which helps to accurately differentiate PTB from PC.
