Role Of Abdominal Computerized Tomography In Early Detection Of Peritoneal Malignancy, Mohammad Abd El-Aliem Nafady, Haitham A Azeem, Rehab Nashaat Ahmad

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal

Background: Patients having suspected or a confirmed diagnosis of peritoneal malignancy benefit greatly from imaging studies. Tumor staging is impacted by the existence of peritoneal metastases (PM), which in turn affects treatment options and prognosis. Extended life and even cure have been achieved in some cases with PM by combining cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Objectives: To assess the diagnostic utility and efficacy of high resolution computer tomography (CT scan) in the early diagnosis of peritoneal tumor seeding. Patients and methods: This prospective research was performed in Radio-Diagnosis Department, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar Assuit University. It conducted …

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal

Introduction: Peripheral vascular disease is a leading global source of morbidity. According to epidemiological research, up to 5% of males and 2.5% of women who are 60 years or older may experience intermittent claudication. The purpose of the effort is to assess color-coded Doppler and multi-detector row CT angiography as less intrusive methods for evaluating patients with lower limb artery disease. The outcomes will be contrasted with digital subtraction angiography, the industry-recognized gold standard method Patients & approaches: 50 individuals with probable lower extremity artery disease participated in this investigation. It will be done in the radiology division of Cairo's …

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal

Background: Mammography is criticized for having poor specificity and sensitivity in breast parenchyma that is dense. Additionally, breast cancer risk is higher in women who have dense breast tissue. Tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography are relatively new imaging methods that have been linked to breast cancer identification and diagnosis. Objective: to evaluate breast lesions using both breast contrast-enhanced mammography and tomosynthesis. Patient and method: 50 patients participated in this prospective trial, and each had single view tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography. The research was carried out between March 2021 and February 2022 at Mediant AL Tab Hospital & Behia Center's radiological department, …

Role Of Ct In Assessment Of Spinal Injuries In Trauma Patients, Ahmed F. Rady, Salah M. Maklad, Hazem A. Yousef

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal

Background: Trauma of the spine weighs heavily on the budget of social and economic development of our society. Multi-detector Computed Tomography (MDCT)scan clearance of the spine does not appear to result in greater radiation exposure. Accurate evaluation of the thoracolumbar spine is possible with targeted image reconstruction with sensitivity and specificity of spinal fracture detection of 98% and 97%.

Purpose: A) To evaluate the diagnostic validity of MDCT in assessment of spinal injuries in trauma patients. B) Also, to determining type and degree of spinal fractures.

Material and methods: A prospective study included 70 patients with traumatic spinal injuries examined …
