Background: The use and frequency of computed tomography (CT) are increasing day by day in emergency departments (ED). This increases the amount of radiation exposed.
Purpose: To evaluate the image quality obtained by ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT) in patients with suspected wrist fractures in the ED and to investigate whether it is an alternative to standard-dose CT (SDCT).
Purpose: Computerized tomography (CT) imaging is increasingly being used to evaluate patients with ankle trauma. However, conventional CT (C CT) has a significantly higher radiation dose (RD) than plain radiography. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT) protocol for ankle fractures.

The importance of scanogram image exposure has increased since total examination radiation has decreased due to technological advancements. The purpose of this study was to determine and compare radiation doses delivered to patients while the tube was in anterior-posterior (AP) and posterior-anterior (PA) positions during a CT angiography scanogram.

- The study compares different surgical methods for removing common bile duct stones in patients who can't undergo endoscopic removal.
- Out of 282 patients, three surgical options were used: primary closure, primary closure with T-tube drainage, and choledochoduodenostomy, each with varying postoperative outcomes.
- The findings indicate that primary closure is the safest and most efficient method, resulting in shorter hospital stays and comparable complication rates to other techniques.
