The mean ADC value of benign endometrial and myometrial lesions was higher significantly from malignant lesions (P value <0.001 and <0.001).

The semi-quanitative parameters of DCE-MRI including the enhancement amplitude (EA), maximum slope (MS) and time of half rising (THR), all showed significant difference between the benign and malignant lesion in endometrial, myometrial and cervical lesions. In clinically and sonographically indeterminate endometrial, myometrial or cervical masses, DWI and DCE-MRI proved to be more accurate than conventional MRI in differentiation between benign and malignant masses, with the DWI and ADC value had more sensitivity and specificity especially in endometrial masses and should be included in the routine pelvic MRI. DCE-MRI should be reserved for still questionable cases after DWI and to study the vascularity of the lesions.","PeriodicalId":117142,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Imaging","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122250686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the shear wave elastography (SWE) we had two modes, the virtual touch imaging (VTI) with interpretation with the 5 points elasticity score and virtual touch quantification (VTQ) technique with the calculation of the Shear wave velocity (SWV). The study included 142 solid breast masses, of them 75 (52.8%) were benign and 67 (47.2%) were malignant. The mean shear wave velocity differed significantly between the benign and malignant groups (2.4+1.3m/sec and 7.3+2.2m/sec respectively, P value <0.0001). the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of strain (eSie touch) elastography score was 83.1%, 88.73%, 88.06%, 84% and 85.92% respectively, which was less than the elastography score by ARFI (92.42%, 92.11%, 91.04%, 93.33% and 92.25% respectively) and less than the VTQ (SWV) which was 94.03%, 95.95%, 95.45% and 95.04% respectively. We concluded that Both the SWE and SE elastography showed significant difference between the benign and malignant masses, and both has added value above B mode ultrasound during routine examination.

Forty patients with dentoalveolar and maxillofacial fractures underwent MDCT. Mandibular fractures were classified into four types: median, paramedian, angle and condylar types. Midface fractures were classified into four types: Le Fort I-III and zygomatic maxillary complex types. Statistical analysis of the relationship between prevalence of dentoalveolar fractures and maxillofacial fracture locations was performed using Chi-square test with Fisher's exact test. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The prevalence of dentoalveolar fractures was 15.0% (6/40 cases) of all patients with maxillofacial fractures. The mean age of patients with and without dentoalveolar fractures in maxillofacial fractures were 39.8 years and 54.7 years, respectively. Regarding cause of injury, the prevalence of maxillofacial fractures with dentoalveolar fractures were 18.8% of accidental falls and 0% of contact sport injuries and automotive accidents. There was no significant relationship between prevalence of dentoalveolar and maxillofacial fractures.

Objective: this study aimed to identify the role and diagnostic potential of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to diagnose and differentiate various types of cardiomyopathy. Patients and Methods: this study included 50 patients with suspected different types of non-ischemic cardiomyopathies referred from outpatient clinic of Cardiology at Al-Hussein University hospital from November 2018 to July 2019. Results: all patients showed mild to moderate mitral regurge (100% of cases), tricuspid regurge was seen in 3 cases (75% of cases) and aortic regurge was seen in 4 cases (50 % of cases). The most value of MRI study of these patients was to differentiate whether if heart failure is related to 1ry dilated cardiomyopathy or other causes such as ischemia as they have different management in each group. Conclusion: CMR is a valuable (minimally or non-invasive) imaging technique in patients with suspected or known to have non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. It helps to identify the underlying cause, predict prognosis and responsiveness to therapy and affect management as well follow-up and most recently as primary prevention diagnostic tool.","PeriodicalId":117142,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Imaging","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114602064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Asymptomatic CAAs are more common and have a better prognosis. Nevertheless, some of these anomalies are linked with symptoms such as syncope, chest pain, and sudden cardiac death. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and describe the coronary congenital anomalies and their variations using coronary CT angiography. MD (320) CT angiography was used to prospectively examine 630 patients with either myocardial ischemic symptoms or suspected coronary anomalies by echocardiography or invasive coronary angiography. Contrast injection with ultra-thin cardiac scanning were then carried out. Images were analyzed with multiplanar reformations (MPR), curved multiplanar reformations (cMPR), maximum intensity projections (MIP) & volume rendering techniques (VR). Coronary artery anomalies were found in 217/630 patients (34.44% incidence), 69 (10.95%) anomalies were of vessel origin with good agreement between CTA and ICA results (K= 0.630), 140 (22.22%) were of vessel course and intrinsic vessel anomalies with moderate agreement between CTA and ICA results (K= 0.448), and 8 (1.27%) were of vessel termination with very good agreement between CTA and ICA results (K= 1.000). from this study we conclude that the prevalence of coronary anomalies is substantially higher with coronary CTA than with invasive coronary angiography and ECG gated multidetector coronary CT angiography allows accurate anatomical assessment of coronary artery anomalies.","PeriodicalId":117142,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Imaging","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128522342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is due to mechanical small bowel obstruction (SBO) by a migrated gallstone. we report this observation to illustrate the imaging findings especially in CT scan. A 62-year-old woman was admitted to emergency for acute bowel obstruction. The CT scan has confirmed jejunal bowel distension with fluid levels upstream endoluminal formation which was rounded and well limited, measuring 5 cm of long axis. This training was slightly hyperdense with hypodense areas of fat density. Moreover, there was aerobilia with multiple fistulas between the duodenum (D1) and gallbladder, which was empty. The triad of aerobilia, small bowel obstruction and migrant gallstone was suggestive of gallstone ileus diagnosis. The patient was operated with good evolution. Gallstone ileus is an uncommon presentation of gallstone disease. It is frequently observed in elderly patients with a history of cholelithiasis or cholecystitis. Early diagnosis is crucial and would avoid morbidity and mortality related to this disease. CT scan shows the classical triad of Rigler with pneumobilia, an ectopic stone and mechanical ileus. CT may improve the diagnosis providing important information regarding the exact number, size, and location of ectopic stones and the site of intestinal obstruction or direct visualization of a biliary–enteric fistula, to help clinicians in the therapeutic management of patients.","PeriodicalId":117142,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Imaging","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131310528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evidence shows heterogeneity in the prevalence of these anatomical variants and it is not described quantitatively which are the variants that present the greatest relationship as a risk factor. Establishing the multiparametric correlation between at least one of the most frequent anatomical variants of the paranasal sinuses and the development of rhinosinusitis is the most important objective of this investigation.

Analysis with measures of central tendency, Xi2, Fisher's exact test, binary logistic regression. Results: The most frequent anatomical variant was the deviation of the nasal septum on the left side (78%). The second most common variant found was the Agger Nasi cells (68%), followed by the protrusion of the Vidian nerve in the sphenoid sinus (52%). The only anatomical variant that could be determined within the regression model was the obstruction of the osteomeatal complex; which is presented as a risk factor with an OR of 16 (95% CI: 6.9-41.3).
