Effectiveness of Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography Following Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography in Breast Cancer Diagnosis [PDF]
Background: Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CEM) provides functional information on tumor vascularity and is increasingly used for breast imaging, particularly as an alternative to breast MRI in selected clinical scenarios.

Dynamic contrast‐enhanced computed tomography in dogs with nasal tumors
Background Treatment of nasal tumors in dogs is associated with high morbidity and reliable prognostic factors are lacking. Dynamic contrast‐enhanced computed tomography (DCECT) can be used to assess tumor perfusion.

Enhanced Visualization: Transforming Non-Contrast into Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography Images Through Advanced Generative Adversarial Networks [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) is essential for mediastinal and lymph node assessment but is often limited in patients with renal dysfunction, prior severe contrast reactions, or pediatric populations.

Assessment of Abdominal Aorta Diameter on Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography: A MDCT-based Observational Study [PDF]
Introduction: Average size of the abdominal aorta is less than 3 cm which variates with time. The increase in abdominal aortic dimensions more than 3 cm can result in the presence of ectasia which can further convert into an aneurysm.

Clival Chordoma in an Indian Female Patient: A Case Report [PDF]
Chordomas are rare tumours that originate anywhere along the craniospinal axis and present various diagnostic hurdles. High recurrence rate even after treatment and tendency to involve other regions within the craniospinal axis make this condition more

Untargeted Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Versus Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography: A Differential Diagnostic Performance (DDP) Study for Kidney Lesions [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Histopathology is the ‘gold standard’ for diagnosing renal cell carcinoma but is limited by sample size. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound can differentiate malignant and benign lesions, but the Chinese guidelines on the management of renal cell ...

Contrast enhanced computed tomography of small ruminants: Caprine and ovine.
The use of small ruminants, mainly sheep and goats, is increasing in biomedical research. Small ruminants are a desirable animal model due to their human-like anatomy and physiology.
