CSF rhinorrhea: non-contrast CT, contrast-enhanced CT cisternography or combined?

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2022
Background Radiologic diagnosis of CSF leaks is challenging. We evaluated the diagnostic value of non-contrast CT and contrast-enhanced CT cisternography in identifying the presence of CSF rhinorrhea and site of leak as well as comparing them to surgical

Economic impact of spectral body imaging in diagnosis of patients suspected for occult cancer

open access: yesInsights into Imaging, 2021
Background Based on prior studies spectral CT has shown a higher sensitivity for malignant lesions than conventional CT at the cost of lower specificity. For the radiologists, it also offers a higher degree of certainty in the diagnosis of benign lesions.

Is Performance of Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed tomography (CT) or Contrast-enhanced CT Efficient Enough to Guide the Hilar Lymph Node Staging for Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma?

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
IntroductionWe evaluated the diagnostic performance of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and contrast-enhanced CT in the detection of hilar lymph node metastasis (LNM) in esophageal ...

Validation of a Length-Adjusted Abdominal Arterial Calcium Score Method for Contrast-Enhanced CT Scans

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2023
Background: The Agatston score on noncontrast computed tomography (CT) scans is the gold standard for calcium load determination. However, contrast-enhanced CT is commonly used for patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs), such as ...

Is There Still a Role for Two-Phase Contrast-Enhanced CT and Virtual Monoenergetic Images in the Era of Photon-Counting Detector CT?

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2023
Background: To compare the diagnostic characteristics between arterial phase imaging versus portal venous phase imaging, applying polychromatic T3D images and low keV virtual monochromatic images using a 1st generation photon-counting CT detector, of CT ...
