The prevalence of undiagnosed abnormalities on non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography compared to contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the brain [PDF]
South African Journal of Radiology, 2014 Background: Even though magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard investigation for intracranial pathology, it is not widely available in developing countries and computed tomography (CT) of the brain remains the first-line investigation for ...

Untargeted Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Versus Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography: A Differential Diagnostic Performance (DDP) Study for Kidney Lesions [PDF]
Clinics, 2020 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 ...

Dynamic contrast‐enhanced computed tomography in dogs with nasal tumors
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2023 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.

Assessment of Abdominal Aorta Diameter on Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography: A MDCT-based Observational Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023 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]
International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2021 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
