The purpose of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the accuracy of low-dose MDCT in the differentiation of breast lesions suspected on mammography and sonography.MDCT was performed on 61 patients with mammographic or sonographic findings suggestive of breast cancer who could not undergo MR mammography.

Multimodality Imaging-Guided Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Cor Triatriatum Sinister. [PDF]
Multimodality imaging facilitated safe transseptal access and catheter navigation in a patient with cor triatriatum sinister. CARTO‐integrated VARIPULSE pulsed‐field ablation achieved pulmonary vein isolation without complications, demonstrating a feasible treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation in complex congenital left atrial anatomy.

Multidetector CT (MDCT) examination with multiphasic acquisition should be advocated as routine study in patient investigated for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The application of a biphasic protocol gives the best results, using a pancreatic phase for tumor identification and arterial infiltration, and portal phase for the assement of venous infiltration ...

Precautions When Extracting Impacted Third Molars With Impacted Enamel Pearls in the Maxillary Sinus Floor: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) is routinely used before mandibular wisdom tooth extraction to determine its three‐dimensional relationship with the mandibular canal. In contrast, the extraction of a maxillary third molar is often planned based on panoramic radiographs alone.

Accuracy of Newer Generation Dual Source Multi-Detector Computerized Tomography for Detection of Coronary In-stent restenosis in Comparison with Invasive Coronary Angiography and Intravascular Ultrasound: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
Background: Previous studies have evaluated coronary artery in-stent diameter restenosis(ISDR) using the 64-slice multi-detector computed tomography coronary angiography(MDCT-CA) compared to invasive coronary angiography(ICA) as the gold standard. In our

Diagnostic Accuracy of Size-Based Preoperative CT Assessment for Predicting Lymph Node Metastasis in Colon Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Preoperative CT based on lymph node size shows moderate accuracy for detecting nodal metastasis in colon cancer. In this meta‐analysis of 29 studies (5,634 patients), pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.69 and 0.66. Size‐based CT alone has limited value for clinical decision‐making.
