Compliance To Imaging Follow Up Recommendations Among Patients With Bi-Rads 3 Breast Lesions, Florence Thuita
Theses & Dissertations
Background: The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 3 (BI-RADS 3) category is assigned to lesions which are deemed to be probably benign on breast imaging with a low likelihood of malignancy (≤2%). With regular imaging follow-up, this category is intended to reduce the rate of invasive biopsies while enabling early detection of breast cancer. However, imaging follow-up has been reported to be challenging to both radiologists and referring clinicians in terms of its appropriate use on the various imaging modalities and understanding management of the patients in this category. Furthermore, it has been reported to induce patient anxiety …

Radiographic Patterns Of Different Aetiologies Of Community Acquired Pneumonia In Patients Presenting To Aga Khan University, Hanika Ajaykumar Patel
Theses & Dissertations
Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major cause of significant morbidity and mortality globally. The spectrum of causative organisms of CAP varies markedly with region as well as with the immune status of the patient. Chest radiography remains an important initial imaging modality in the diagnostic work-up of patients with CAP. Although previous studies have highlighted major trends and radiographic patterns of various causative organisms of CAP, there is a paucity of recent literature within Sub-Saharan Africa on these various radiographic patterns.
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to identify the association between the radiographic patterns of different …
