However, there only very few published studies reporting of the improvement resulting from feedback information of patient surveys, and in most cases, these studies are not in line with their findings. The patients become the main strategy for the main strategy for the organization of health services. This is the era of patients centre care. The study attempts to evaluate patients satisfaction with quality of service offered by clinical pathology Department in JUTH. Materials and methods: 150 Subjects were recruited after consent by random sampling through an inquiry conducted anonymously during the months of January and May 2017. The age range is between eighteen to seventy years. The inquiry was in form of questionnaire with the following questions: accessibility to the laboratory, cleanliness of the laboratory, patients-staff interpersonal relationship, waiting time and turn around time (TAT), labeled 1,2,3,4,5 respectively. Classification of the calculation results of questionnaires was carried out in three categories, namely good service quality, service quality is good enough, and the quality of service quality, service quality is good enough, and the quality of service is not good. Results: This study showed very high overall satisfaction of patients on service in clinical pathology laboratory (80.4%). The levers of cleanliness, communication level and TAT have the highest satisfaction with 99%, 95% and 93% respectively. Those with good enough falls into the category of accessibility and time taken with 52% and 63% respectively. The overall degree of satisfaction is 80.4%. Conclusion: The patients satisfaction in the lever of cleanness, communication, and TAT was the highest (good quality service) and the lowest of the levers ......","PeriodicalId":429686,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Radiology and Imaging Technology","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116334587","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}

Computed tomography is considered to be extremely sensitive diagnostic test for its detection due to development in technology. The goal of this study was to find out the accuracy of ultrasound for detection of urinary tract stones as compared to CT KUB. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound with the reference of CT KUB for the diagnosis of urinary tract stones. Material and Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted from January 13, 2022 to May 13, 2022 in the Department of Radiology, Gondal Medical Complex Gujranwala, in 78 patients who underwent simple CT KUB after USG with suspected urinary stones. Ultrasound and CT findings were compared based on age, gender, clinical appearance, number of stones, and location. All data was collected using a self-made questionnaire. I analyzed the data using SPSS version 26. USG specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were evaluated using CT as a reference standard. Results: Among the 78 patients, 56.4 % (n=44) were male and 43.6 % (n=34) were female. The average age of the patients was 41.5430 years. Urolithiasis was discovered in 80.76 % of the patients (n=63) who had CT KUB. Trans-abdominal ultrasound sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy in urolithiasis were calculated to be 68.3 %, 66.7 %, 89.6 %, 33.33 %, and 67.95 %, respectively. Conclusion: Trans-abdominal ultrasonography has a satisfactory diagnostic accuracy for urolithiasis since a range of parameters such as operator reliance, patient compliance, and stone size or location determines its sensitivity. When a CT scan is unavailable or contraindicated, it may be utilized as an alternative.","PeriodicalId":429686,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Radiology and Imaging Technology","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133621343","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}

With the help of ultrasound one can know about the gestational age, riskevaluation and it also describes about placental maturity, grading, fetal health, andprognosis. Any abnormality in placental maturity can lead towards poor pregnancy outcomes and fetus intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the evaluation of placental grading in 2nd and 3rd trimester using gray scale ultrasound for prediction of fetal outcomes. Material and Method: This study was conducted atgynecology and obstetrics department of two Hospitals (Sajida Khalil Hospital and Robina Sajid Hospital Gujrat) respectively. The duration of study was 4 months i.e. 14 January 2022 to 14 May 2022. Total number of participants was 200 pregnant ladies. These all were coming for their regular antenatal follow up in gynecology and obstetrics department of both hospitals. Results: Total 200 pregnant females with gestational age of 13 weeks and onwardi.e. 2nd and 3rd trimester in order to see the placental grading in 2nd and 3rd trimester were taken as sample population for the present study.Out of the total 200, women 62 (31.0%) were of second trimester and 138 (69.0%) were of third trimester. The results for placental grading by statistical analysis showed out of 200, 74 (37.0%) showed Placenta with Grade-I, 75 (37.5%) showed placenta with Grade-II maturity and 51(25.5%) showed placental maturity of Grade-III.

One such fetal anomaly is the posterior urethral valve (PUV), which is a congenital malformation of the male urethra occurring early in gestation life. PUV is a common cause of obstructive uropathy in males and fetal death during pregnancy. We report from a medical imaging perspective on a rare and high-risk case of a PUV detected during routine antenatal ultrasound imaging in Botswana. The first scan performed at 16 weeks of gestation age was unremarkable. However, subsequent antenatal ultrasound scans at and after 20 weeks demonstrated bilateral hydronephrosis, distended ureters, and a urinary bladder which gradually increased with the gestation age. There was also a corresponding reduction in amniotic fluid and fetal movements. As a result of these complications, the pregnancy was classified as a “high-risk.” At 30 weeks, spontaneous labour occurred, and a fresh still birth male fetus was delivered.","PeriodicalId":429686,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Radiology and Imaging Technology","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125074824","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}
