Pancreatic cysts can be benign, malignant and borderline type of lesions. It can be cystic or cystic degeneration of solid tumors. This present study was focused on assess the diagnostic accuracy of 256-detector row MDCT in the detection of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs). Material and methods: Images from total of 172 patients were studied on the basis of signs of malignancy. Results: We analysed 220 PCLs in 172 patients (solitary in 145 and ≥2 in 47; incidence 2.05%). Size ranged from 3 to 132 mm (mean 15 mm); body was the most common location. Intralesional septa were detected in 23/132 lesions (17.4%), wall thickening >2 mm in 6%, enhancing wall and mural nodules in 4.5% and 5.3%, respectively. IPMNS was the most common finding around 83%, while 10.6% were cystadenomas and 6% were others. Conclusion: As cross-sectional imaging uses frequently, the MDCT contributes structured features for insignia of PCLs.
Assessment of bone healing in orthopaedic patients is usually monitored by radiographs in two views. The purpose of our study was to compare multiplanar reconstructions from MDCT data sets with radiological findings for the assessment of the condition of bone healing process. Material and methods: A total of 46 patients were included in this study for 1 and half year between the periods of January 2018 to July 2019. Patients with fractures, arthrodesis spinal fusion were included in this study. MX 8000 IDT with MDCT was performed as gold standard. The anatomical region was adapted for the technical parameters and for the bone reconstruction bone algorithm was used. 2 musculoskeletal radiologists were involved in analysis of radiographs and multiplanar reconstructions, also for the interpretation to determine bone healing. Result: 65.12% of patients MDCT and digital radiological findings were showed similarity and 34.78% reported difference in two methods. Conclusion: MDCT can be recommended as the primary diagnostic method for the estimation of bone healing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
