The Role of Telecytology in the Primary Diagnosis of Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration Specimens.

Introduction: The Acibadem Health Group (AHG) has been using telepathology/digital pathology stations since 2006. In 2013, the system was changed from videoconferencing to digital pathology (whole-slide imaging) utilizing 3DHISTECH scanners and software. In 2017, digital cytology started to be used for routine cytopathologic diagnosis for thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cases.

Continuous arterial pressure waveform analysis accurately detects cardiac output in cardiac surgery: a prospective comparison with thermodilution, echocardiography, and magnetic resonance techniques.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of cardiac output (CO) measurements of noninvasive continuous arterial pressure waveform analysis, thermodilution technique and echocardiography with magnetic resonance (MRI) imaging.

Methods: Eleven patients who underwent coronary bypass surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass were prospectively enrolled in this study in 2008. Repeated arterial pressure based, thermodilution, echocardiography, and MRI cardiac output measurements were performed at the postoperative 24th hour.

Using the magnetic resonance three-dimensional volume rendering for tissues technique in the planning of craniotomy flaps with linear scalp incision.

Preoperative three-dimensional images with surface venous anatomy may be used in the planning of a linear scalp incision and the opening site of the dura mater for protection of surface veins during surgical dissection, and to find the splitting site of the brain according to the lesion. In 45 patients who had a brain tumor, linear scalp incision planning was done by regarding the three-dimensional images derived from post-contrast time-of-flight (TOF) sequence raw data. The findings of correspondence and the quality of routine contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and three-dimensional volume rendering for tissues (VRT) images were analyzed separately with the surgical findings according to a visual grading system.

The effectiveness of magnetization transfer technique in the evaluation of acute plaques in the central nervous system of multiple sclerosis patients and its correlation with the clinical findings.

Purpose: To determine the value of magnetization transfer (MT) imaging in the evaluation of acute plaques, which cause clinical findings in the brain magnetic resonance (MR) images of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, and its correlation with the clinical findings.

Materials And Methods: Forty patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis were included in the study. They were being followed-up for the diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis based on McDonald's criteria.
