Knowledge, Awareness and Practice towards Screening for Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Globally prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancer among men and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in a developing country, which is mainly due to lack of knowledge and awareness regarding the screening of prostate cancer. The main objective of this review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the knowledge, awareness and practice of adult men about prostate cancer.

Method: An extensive literature search was performed on studies published between January 2000 to 2021.

Knowledge of Medical Imaging Professionals on Healthcare-Associated Infections: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) are a significant concern for both healthcare professionals and patients. With recent advances in imaging modalities, there is an increase in patients visiting the radiology department for diagnosis and therapeutic examination. The equipment used for the investigator is contaminated, which may result in HCAIs to the patients and healthcare professionals.

Development and Validation of a Tool to Assess the Knowledge, Attitude and Perception of Women Towards Screening Mammography.

Background: Breast cancer is a major public health concern in both developing and developed countries. The mortality rate of breast cancer is high in India due to late detection, and lack of knowledge about the screening mammography. The objective of this study was to develop and establish the psychometric properties of the tool.

Comparison of Conventional Techniques and Higher Imaging Modalities in the Evaluation of Relation between the Third Molar and Inferior Alveolar Nerve Canal: A Pilot Study.

Context: Mandibular third molars are the most commonly impacted teeth, and their surgical removal can be associated with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury. To avoid the deleterious complication of nerve injury on patients, a thorough visualization of IAN and its localization are essential.

Aims And Objectives: The aims and objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of two conventional localization techniques in determining the relationship of mandibular third molars to IAN and to assess its reliability in comparison with computed tomography (CT).

An Evaluation of Dental Crowding in Relation to the Mesiodistal Crown Widths and Arch Dimensions in Southern Indian Population.

Introduction: With the advancement in imaging technology, 3D dental computed tomography plays a very significant role in orthodontic treatment and diagnosis.

Aim: To evaluate dental crowding in relation to the mesiodistal crown widths and arch dimensions and also to determine the differences of dental crowding among males and females, in Southern Indian population.

Materials And Methods: A total of 132 subjects were divided into two groups: crowded and non-crowded, each comprising 66 subjects (33 males and 33 females), aged between 15 and 35 years, who were referred for computed tomography scan of brain to the radiology department, were selected.
