Prevalence Of Significant Liver Fibrosis In Patients With Hiv Monoinfection Compared To Those With Hiv-Hepatitis B Coinfection As Assessed By Shear Wave Elastography, Samuel Nguku
Theses & Dissertations
Background: Liver disease is an emerging management problem in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients. The incidence of chronic Hepatitis B infection, which accelerates the progression of chronic liver disease and development of liver fibrosis, is ten times higher in patients with HIV than the general population. Staging of liver fibrosis provides essential information in management of these patients.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of significant liver fibrosis in patients with HIV mono-infection versus those with HIV-HBV co-infection as assessed with shear wave elastography (SWE).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study whereby HIV infected patients attending the HIV clinic at …
Prediction Of Breast Tumor Size By Ultrasound: A Comparison With Pathology, David Toyis Wanyonyi
Prediction Of Breast Tumor Size By Ultrasound: A Comparison With Pathology, David Toyis Wanyonyi
Theses & Dissertations
Background: Tumor size is one of the most important prognostic factors in breast cancer and its accurate assessment is critical in planning appropriate treatment. Although histology is often regarded as the definitive way of establishing tumor size, radiological techniques, particularly ultrasonography, are usually relied upon to give an estimate of the tumor size for prognostication and treatment planning. Correlations between mammography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pathology size have been performed in different populations with varying results however no prospective study has been done to establish the agreement between sonographic tumor size and histopathological tumor size in our …
The Utility Of A Tablet Computer Device In Comparison To A Standard High Resolution Monitor For Reporting Ct Kub Images, Kenneth Kiriinya Ibeere
The Utility Of A Tablet Computer Device In Comparison To A Standard High Resolution Monitor For Reporting Ct Kub Images, Kenneth Kiriinya Ibeere
Theses & Dissertations
Background: The latest technological developments in the field of digital medical imaging have facilitated the transfer of the power and utility of the personal computer to mobile computing devices. One of these that have been used in diagnostic imaging is a tablet computer. Mobile tele-radiology using a tablet computer device is an apt extension of imaging services, for after-office-hours consultation. It is crucial to determine the diagnostic accuracy of these portable computer devices in order to determine safety for use in diagnostic image interpretation without compromising patient care.
Objective: To find out the diagnostic accuracy of urolithiasis (urinary tract calculi) …
