Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and anomalous origin of the coronary arteries are important causes of sudden cardiac death in the young, for which several diagnostic imaging modalities are currently available. We report the case of a young sudden cardiac death survivor in whom the unusual coexistence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and anomalous origin of the left circumflex artery was demonstrated using 64-slice computed tomography.

Gender-specific correlations between serum lipid profiles and intra-pancreatic fat deposition: a cross-sectional study.
Lipids Health Dis
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology, The Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University, No. 28 Guiyi Street, Guiyang, 550004, China.
Background: Intra-pancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) is linked to metabolic and pancreatic diseases. MRI, while precise, is not cost-effective for routine IPFD screening, highlighting the need for accessible biomarkers. This study aims to analyze the relationships among serum lipid profiles, lipoprotein ratios, and IPFD, with a focus on sex differences.

Objectives: To explore the diagnostic value of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in patients with gouty arthritis.
Methods: A total of 160 patients with gouty arthritis who were treated in our hospital from January 2023 to October 2023 were selected as the research subjects. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: an observation group and a control group.
Possibility to measure the volume of coronary sinus in contrast-enhanced computed tomography.

Article Synopsis
- Modern imaging techniques like CT scans can be used to assess the volume of the coronary sinus, although prior research on this is limited.
- A study involving 49 patients used a Toshiba Aquilion 64 scanner to measure coronary sinus volume, finding an average volume of 3.71 cm with significant correlation to end diastolic volume.
- The findings suggest that coronary sinus volume can be effectively visualized and measured using cardiac CT, paving the way for further research in this area.

Purpose: To describe a case of multiple extremely rare cervical arterial variations.
Methods: A 55-year-old man with a tentative diagnosis of right internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis was examined using computed tomography (CT) angiography for the evaluation of vascular lesions in the neck and head region. A 64-slice CT machine was used.
