Purpose: Compare Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging to accurately determine the volume of brain tumors for radiotherapy. Methods and Materials: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 38 patients with brain tumors indicated for radiation therapy, underwent Magnetic Resonance Imaging and CT scans at Hue Central Hospital from January 2018 to July 2019. Data processed with MS Excel 2013, SPSS 20.0 and statistical algorithms. Results: The Magnetic Resonance Imaging has a rate of brain tumor detection of 100% while that of computed tomography only reached 60.5%. The average difference in tumor size is 0.66 cm, the size of the tumor is larger on the magnetic resonance images. There is a close agreement on Magnetic Resonance Imaging and computer tomography on the level of cerebral edema (kappa = 0.735, p <0.001), on the amount of mid line shift of the tumor (kappa = 0.775, p <0.001); and detected cocoons in tumor (kappa = 1.000, p <0.001). Conclusions: Magnetic Resonance has advantages over computed tomography in the ability to detect brain tumors, tumor margin, the ability to detect the level of cerebral edema, invasive properties and identify cocoons in tumors. Computed Tomography is more advantageous than Magnetic Resonance in cases with calcification in the tumors or bone changes. Fusing computed tomography images and Magnetic Resonance Imaging together is a more effective method of determining the volume of brain tumors for radiotherapy.

AbstractDue to their important phylogenetic position among extant vertebrates, sharks are an invaluable group in evolutionary developmental biology studies. A thorough understanding of shark anatomy is essential to facilitate these studies and documentation of this iconic taxon. With the increasing availability of cross-sectional imaging techniques, the complicated anatomy of both cartilaginous and soft tissues can be analyzed non-invasively, quickly, and accurately. The aim of this study is to provide a detailed anatomical description of the normal banded houndshark (Triakis scyllium) using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) along with cryosection images. Three banded houndsharks were scanned using a 64-detector row spiral CT scanner and a 3 T MRI scanner. All images were digitally stored and assessed using open-source Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine viewer software in the transverse, sagittal, and dorsal dimensions. The banded houndshark cadavers were then cryosectioned at approximately 1-cm intervals. Corresponding transverse cryosection images were chosen to identify the best anatomical correlations for transverse CT and MRI images. The resulting images provided excellent detail of the major anatomical structures of the banded houndshark. The illustrations in the present study could be considered as a useful reference for interpretation of normal and pathological imaging studies of sharks.

Background Fibrocartilaginous coalition of the third tarsometatarsal joint has been indicated as an extremely rare form of tarsal coalition in the radiological literature, and most articles concerned with tarsal coalition do not mention involvement of this joint. Only two reports written in the English language that approach this subject were found, an orthopedic report and an anthropological report. Purpose To evaluate the prevalence of this finding and discuss and illustrate the radiological characteristics of this coalition. Material and Methods A retrospective analysis of 614 computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans of the ankle and/or foot, acquired at a health service within a period of three months, was performed to assess the prevalence of this coalition. Results Of the examinations characterized as valid for analysis for the purposes of the study, 17 cases compatible with fibrocartilaginous coalition of the third tarsometatarsal joint were found, thus indicating an involvement of approximately 2.97% of the examined feet. Conclusion Our radiological findings are typical, and the prevalence found in this study was statistically significant, being similar to that described in the anthropological report (3.2%–6.8%).

Background: Central nervous system conditions may affect every aspect of female reproduction from fertility to lactation. The objective of this study was to examine the performance of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of maternal neurologic disorders and to examine the outcome of pregnancies complicated by abnormal neurologic imaging.Methods: Retrospective observational study of 20 parturients presenting with severe neurologic symptoms (January 2006 to January 2016).Results: Abnormal neuro-radiological findings were found. Only 10% of the computed tomography-scans were normal. Both magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography that were performed in all cases showed cerebral edema (90%) with different degrees, thereby cerebral edema was the predominant lesion. Pertaining to its localization, 65% were localized in the parietal or occipital area, 10% in the paraventricular area, and 10% were diffused. Also, 35% showed intracerebral hemorrhage and 10% showed cerebellar hemorrhage. The incidence of neurological disorders in pregnancy and puerperium was high. Epilepsy and headache were the most common primary and secondary neurological disorders.Conclusions: The role of neuroimaging in diagnosing neurological disorders is crucial for prevention of severe complications.
