MR Vessel Wall Imaging for Atherosclerosis and Vasculitis
Conventional imaging modalities, such as computed tomography angiography, MR angiography, transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, and digital subtraction angiography, are utilized in evaluating intraluminal or intravascular pathology of the intracranial vessels. Limitations of luminal imaging techniques can lead to inaccurate diagnosis, evaluation, and risk stratification, as many cerebrovascular pathologies contain an extrinsic vessel wall component. Furthermore, vessel wall imaging can provide information regarding extent, treatment response, and biopsy targets for vasculitis cases. Overall, while vessel wall imaging can p...

Create virtual dentoskeletal model by superimposing digital dental cast into cone-beam computed tomography scan
ConclusionsThe resulting virtual dentoskeletal model can be viewed and manipulated on a computer screen, allowing for a detailed analysis of the teeth and supporting structures. The 3D model generated by the SfM photogrammetry technique did well during the superimposition process, representing a reliable method for virtual-based processing such as orthognathic surgery planning and splint design.

Preoperative nomogram for predicting spread through air spaces in clinical-stage IA non-small cell lung cancer using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography
ConclusionOur nomogram based on preoperative18F-FDG PET/CT radiological features and SUVmax effectively predicts STAS status in clinical-stage IA NSCLC. Furthermore, our study highlights that metabolic parameters and CT variables associated with STAS differ between solid and part-solid nodular NSCLC.

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1457: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 29 Studies Predicting Diagnostic Accuracy of CT, MRI, PET, and USG in Detecting Extracapsular Spread in Head and Neck Cancers
Conclusion: MRI is the most accurate imaging modality for detecting ECS in head and neck cancers. CT scan is a reasonable alternative, but PET scan may be considered when high specificity is required. USG may not add any further benefit in detecting ECS. (Source: Cancers)

Chronic rhinosinusitis in people with CF, a rapidly changing field
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has been for long addressed as a hallmark of cystic fibrosis (CF). It has been reported to affect the majority of people with CF (pwCF), with almost 100 % of patients revealing pathologic findings in CT scans, which are currently replaced by MRI scans to reduce exposure to ionising radiation and to enhance differentiation of soft tissue structures [1,2]. The burden of sinonasal symptoms markedly impairs a patient ´s well-being, and indeed, to a greater extent than “some rhinitis” is generally expected to bother general health.

Surgical bypass of superior and inferior mesenteric arteries with Dacron graft in a patient with acute on chronic mesenteric ischaemia with atherosclerotic complete occlusion of the infrarenal aorta
AbstractA 67-year-old male presented to us with symptoms of postprandial abdominal pain for the last 3 months and was not able to take meals for the last month. The computed tomography (CT) angiogram showed complete occlusion in the coeliac artery (CA), superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) with complete occlusion of infrarenal aorta and bilateral iliac arteries. Whi le waiting for elective surgical mesenteric bypass, patient suddenly developed signs of peritonitis for which emergency surgery was done using a Dacron bifurcated graft 12 × 6 mm size. Inflow was taken from the supra coe...

Tuberous sclerosis complex associated lymphangioleiomyomatosis caused by de novo mutation of TSC2 gene in Vietnam: A case report
Herein, we describe an early 20s female admitted to the Hospital with dyspnea, chest pain, hypopigmented macules, and facial fibroadenomas. She has a medical history of renal angiomyolipomas (ALM) and pneumothoraces. Diagnosis with LAM was confirmed through high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan and histopathology of lung biopsy. Whole exome sequencing analysis identified a frameshift mutation c.4504del (p.L1502Cfs*74) in the patient'sTSC2 gene. This variant was de novo due to its absence in the patient's parents. This is the first report on the clinical and genetic etiology of TSC-LAM in Vietnam. AbstractLymphang...

Blue esophagus as a diagnosis of aortic dissection
Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.17235/reed.2024.10319/2024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 76-year-old patient, admitted to the department of cardiac surgery, anticoagulated, started with acute dysphagia. An upper endoscopy revealed a blue mucosa from the upper to distal esophagus, with narrowing of the lumen caused by an extrinsic compression. A computed to¬mography (CT) of the thorax was performed, showing a 85x55 mm mediastinal hematoma causing extrinsic compression of the esophagus. Subsequently, a contrast-enhanced CT scan was performed, confirming a contained rupture of descending thoracic aortic dissection...
