This paper was a systematic review of studies on the diagnostic accuracy of noncontrast helical (multi-slice) CT for acute appendicitis in adults (age > 16) who presented to the ED. To be included ...

Beyond this time frame, if the CT is negative for blood, a lumbar puncture is often performed. Technology improvements in image noise reduction, resolution and motion artefact have enhanced the ...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the sensitivity and specificity of multislice computed tomography (CT) for diagnosis of orbital fractures following different protocols, using ...

Several noninvasive techniques are available for this purpose, including 2-dimensional echocardiography (5), electrocardiographically (ECG) gated SPECT (6–10), radionuclide ventriculography (5,10,11), ...

Advantages of the CT method include higher-quality attenuation maps secondary to higher photon flux, lower noise, and improved resolution (2). Additionally, especially when using multislice CT in ...

1 Newer technologies like spiral CT can also be used to study root canal morphology in complicated cases. Since the subject of study was an extracted tooth, the concern regarding radiation was not ...

Multislice CT (MSCT) might be the superior diagnostic technique to study the anatomy of the RVOT and the pulmonary arterial tree especially, but it lacks possibilities for volumetric and functional ...

Connecticut faces unprecedented threats, but we are also witnessing an unprecedented coming together of 11 leading advocacy and service nonprofit organizations united by a single, powerful goal ...

The General Assembly approved a plan Monday to cover $466 million in state agency overspending — including a $284 million problem in Medicaid — even though it means Connecticut’s budget ...

We live in an age where medical technology can uncover what the naked eye can’t, and CT scans are a major part of that advancement. But with growing chatter around radiation exposure and ...
