The relationship between ultrasound-based TIRADS and BETHESDA categories in patients undergoing thyroid biopsy.

The TIRADS is a scoring system used for the selection of nodules for FNA and classification of the risk of malignancy based on ultrasound characteristics. The BETHESDA is a standard reporting system used for the classification of FNA results based on six criteria with risks for malignancy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between TIRADS and BSRTC classifications in patients undergoing thyroid biopsy.

IONIZING RADIATION EXPOSURE IN PATIENTS WITH COVID-19: MORE THAN NEEDED.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the ionizing radiation exposure in patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study in which all patients presented with suggestive symptoms of COVID-19 were included. The study was carried out in a university-affiliated private hospital in Istanbul, Turkey.

The relationship between lesion density change in chest computed tomography and clinical improvement in COVID-19 patients.

Objective: To evaluate the association of changes in chest computed tomography (CT) lesion densities with clinical improvement in COVID-19 patients.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis of hospitalised COVID-19 patients who underwent repeated chest CT. Patients who improved clinically but showed radiological progression were included.

Co-occurrence of vertebral artery hypoplasia and high jugular bulb in patients undergoing cranial magnetic resonance imaging.

We aimed to assess the frequency and coexistence of vertebral artery hypoplasia (VAH) and high jugular bulb (HJB) in subjects who underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diverse indications. This was a retrospective study in which 2184 consecutive patients who underwent cranial MRI were screened. Age, sex, and reasons for ordering cranial MRI were obtained from hospital database.
