The Evaluation Of Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Biphasic Contrast Enhanced Helical Ct Scan, J Yaqoob, V Bari, M U. Usman, K Munir, F Mosharaf, W Akhtar
Department of Radiology
Objective: To evaluate the role of biphasic contrast-enhanced helical CT including Hepatic Arterial Phase (HAP) imaging with Portal Venous Phase (PVP) imaging, in the detection and characterization of hepatocellular carcinomas.Methods: The study included 40 patients (M = 26, F = 14) with histopathologically proven HCC. Age range was between 30-85 years (mean = 55) by following consecutive patients with cirrhosis in whom Hepatocellular carcinoma was diagnosed or suspected either by raised serum a (alpha)-fetoprotein level or Ultrasound.Results: Biphasic contrast-enhanced examination revealed a total of 85 lesions in these 40 patients, out of which 13 were unifocal, 12 showed a dominant …

The Role Of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (Mrcp) In Obstructive Jaundice, K Munir, V Bari, J Yaqoob, D B. Khan, M U. Usman
Department of Radiology
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of MRCP in studying the sites and cause of obstructive jaundice in comparison with other imaging modalities at the Department of Radiology, Aga Khan University Hospital, from January 1999 to May 2001.Methods: Forty nine consecutive patients included 19 men and 30 women, suspected of obstructive jaundice. Patients underwent ultrasound (n = 49), CT (n = 11), ERCP (n = 25) and biliary surgery (n = 17). Final diagnosis was established by surgical exploration, endoscopic sphincterectomy, cytology and clinical follow up.Results: Of the 49 patients 17 had choledocholithiasis. Twenty five patients had malignant strictures, out …

Oral Contrast-Enhanced Ct Cholangiography--An Initial Experience, I Naseem, J Rees
Oral Contrast-Enhanced Ct Cholangiography--An Initial Experience, I Naseem, J Rees
Department of Radiology
Objective: To describe our experience of CT (Computed tomographic) Cholangiography examination for detection of choledocholithiasis at the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) Karachi Pakistan.Methods: Seven patients underwent helical CT cholangiography for suspected choledocholithiasis. Iopanoic acid (6 grams) was administered orally 8-12 hours before acquisition of a helical CT cholangiogram. Three-dimensional reconstructions and curved multiplanar reformations were generated from a set of axial source images.Results: Our patients had no adverse reactions to iopanoic acid. The degree of biliary opacification was sufficient to perform three-dimensional and curved planar reformations in 5 patients. In two patients, the biliary tree was not opacified. Both …
Mammographic Criteria For Determining The Diagnostic Value Of Microcalcifications In The Detection Of Early Breast Cancer, M Yunus, N Ahmed, I Masroor, J Yaqoob
Mammographic Criteria For Determining The Diagnostic Value Of Microcalcifications In The Detection Of Early Breast Cancer, M Yunus, N Ahmed, I Masroor, J Yaqoob
Department of Radiology
Objective: To evaluate the importance of microcalcifications in the detection of breast carcinoma in conventional mammography.Methods: This prospective study was carried out at Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH). Mammograms of 68 patients with microcalcifications were evaluated. Craniocaudal and oblique views of both breasts were acquired on routine basis with cone compression and magnified views when required.Results: Among 68 patients with microcalcifications, 61 (89%) had clustered microcalcifications while 7 patients (10.29%) had scattered microcalcifications. Microcalcifications can occur in benign and malignant diseases. While evaluating clustered microcalcifications, few criteria have been established to determine malignant clustered microcalcifications, these include specific and nonspecific …

Unenhanced Helical Ct Of Ureterolithiasis: Incidence Of Secondary Urinary Tract Findings, J Yaqoob, M U. Usman, V Bari, K Munir, F Mosharaf
Department of Radiology
Objective: To determine the incidence of secondary signs of obstruction in patients with ureteral stones on unenhanced helical CT scans.MATERIAL AND Methods: Three hundred consecutive patients with suspected renal colic referred by the emergency department for an unenhanced helical CT scan were evaluated. One hundred and thirty two patients with ureteric calculi were viewed prospectively for the secondary signs of obstruction, which include hydronephrosis, hydroureter, perinephric stranding, nephromegaly, periureteral edema and difference in attenuation between acutely obstructed kidney and unobstructed kidney.Results: In the evaluated 132 patients, calculi were present in the proximal, mid and distal ureter in 12, 18 and …
