  • CT Venography: Technique and Indications
    VENOUS CT Venography: Technique and Indications A brief summary of how to perform indirect and direct CT venography and when this imaging modality can be helpful in diagnosing venous disease. BY ANA MARIJA ALDUK, MD, PHD, AND GERARD O’SULLIVAN, MD T venography (CTV) is not a particularly well- A B validated technique, with most data derived from anecdotal experience. For a variety of reasons, CTV has become the go-to imag- Cing modality for a quick and efficient answer to most venous problems. For example, we work in a trauma center with a large oncology population, and we have learned that oftentimes ultrasound simply doesn’t cut it, particularly in the context of intra-abdominal C D malignancy. Even in very experienced hands, things can be missed. CTV/contrast-enhanced CT provides multiple extra levels of information, including the presence or absence of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters; the condition of the IVC, renal veins, collaterals, and internal iliac veins; potential iliac vein compression or Figure 1. CTPA showing massive bilateral PE (A). Indirect CTV nutcracker syndromes; presence of pelvic varicosities; demonstrates acute IVC thrombosis (B), right external iliac as well as ovarian vein thrombosis and undiagnosed vein scarring due to previous DVT (C), and right common malignancy. femoral vein thrombosis (D). TECHNIQUE A C Indirect CTV Often combined with CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) in the acute setting, indirect CTV is performed as a standard, nonoral, post–intravenous contrast- enhanced CT at approximately 120 to 150 seconds after injection of contrast, which is considerably later than portal venous phase.

  • New Phase in Forensic Odontology
    International Journal of Dental and Health Sciences Review Article Volume 02,Issue 06 VIRTOPSY: NEW PHASE IN FORENSIC ODONTOLOGY Yogish.P 1, Asha Yogish 2 1.Assisstant Professor in Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Sharavathi Dental College and Hospital, Shivamogga. 2.Postgraduate student in Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Coorg Institute of Dental Sciences, Virajpet. ABSTRACT: Nowadays, technological advances are becoming more and more important in forensic sciences. Yet autopsy is still one of the very traditional methods. This also applies for dental autopsies, in which visual, photographic and radiological evidences are collected. Virtual Autopsy appears as a helpful and complementary tool for dental and medical cadaveric examination. Using high-tech radiological approaches, Virtual Autopsy may provide, through images, an efficient and more accurate view on the individual case. This critical review aims to update on the origin, applications of virtopsy and also the role of dentists in this field. Keywords: Autopsy; Radiology; Forensic Odontology INTRODUCTION: Death is an inevitable part of life and at psychiatry and behavioural science, few occasions scientific examination of questioned documents, toxicology and bodies after death becomes mandatory. physical anthropology.

It is often used for vascular conditions where other types of imaging are considered inferior or contraindicated, and to decrease risk of cumulative radiation exposure and often instead of invasive procedures. Indications of Coverage: A. MRA/MRV is considered medically necessary for the anatomical regions listed below when the specific indications or symptoms described are documented: 1. Head/Brain: a. Suspected intracranial aneurysm (ICA) or arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Any of the following: 1. Acute severe headache, severe exertional headache, or sudden onset of explosive headache, in individuals with signs / symptoms highly suggestive of a leaking/ruptured internal carotid artery or arteriovenous malformation. 2. Known subarachnoid hemorrhage or diagnosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage with concern for underlying vascular abnormality. 3. Suspected arteriovenous malformation (AVM) or dural AV fistula in an individual with prior indeterminate imaging study 4. Thunderclap headache with question of underlying vascular abnormality AND prior negative workup to include EITHER i. negative brain MRI, OR ii.
