[Assessment of the completeness of medical imaging request forms in a sub-Saharan African setting].

Unlabelled: The technical quality, interpretation, and clinical utility of diagnostic imaging examinations can increase considerably when the request forms are correctly filled out. This study sought to evaluate the completeness of these request forms at the Women and Children's Hospital in Yaoundé, Cameroon, to the 8 criteria established by the French High Health Authority (HAS, France).

Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated 118 request forms for ultrasounds, 110 for conventional radiography, and 34 for computed tomography (CT scans), all completed by physicians at our university-affiliated hospital.

[Giant aneurysm of the pulmonary artery: a case report].

Pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare condition accounting for less than 1% of all intra thoracic aneurysms. This paper reports a case of giant aneurysm of the trunk and branches of the pulmonary artery, which was discovered incidentally on a computed tomography angiogram in a 48-year-old man with a past history of pulmonary tuberculosis. Besides the aneurysm there was dilation of the pulmonary annulus with massive pulmonary regurgitation, a tight mitral stenosis and sequelae of pleural and pulmonary tuberculosis.
