Coronary age, based on coronary calcium measurement, is increased in patients with morbid obesity [PDF]
Purpose: Obesity is a well-known of risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, recently an "obesity paradox" has been discussed, which is considered as a protective effect of obesity on the development coronary artery disease (CAD).

Abernethy malformation with portal vein aneurysm in a child
Abernethy malformation is an extremely rare anomaly of the splanchnic venous system. We describe multidetector computed tomography findings of an incidentally detected Abernethy malformation with portal vein aneurysm in a two-and-half-year old child. The

Single injection dual phase CBCT technique ameliorates results of trans-arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular cancer [PDF]
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) application to the field of trans-arterial chemoembolization has been recently the focus of several researches. This imaging modality is performed with a rotation of the C-arm around the patient, without needs of patient repositioning.
