Purpose. We aimed to assess the problem solving capability of magnetic resonance sialography (MR sialography), a noninvasive method for imaging submandibular gland ducts and determining duct-related pathologies, by comparing diseased and healthy cases. Materials and Methods. We conducted radiological assessment on a total of 60 submandibular glands (mean age 44.7) in 20 cases and 10 volunteers. MR sialography examinations were conducted with single-shot fast spin-echo sequence by using a surface coil placed on the submandibular gland. Each gland was evaluated in terms of the length, width and stricture of the main duct, as well as the difference between the intraparenchymal duct width, and the main duct width. -

Virtual Colonography
Virtual Colonography Radiologists at the VCU Medical Center were among the first in Virginia to develop, test and adopt for routine use a more patient-friendly way to screen for colon polyps and colon cancer. The noninvasive treatment procedure known medically as - Virtual Colonography (VC) or CT Colonography (CTC) - uses computed tomography (CT) scanning to determine whether or not colon polyps are present. Because Virtual Colonography does not require the use of a colonoscope as in a conventional colonoscopy procedure, it is sometimes referred to as a “Virtual Colonoscopy”. What makes Virtual Colonography an ideal option for screening? Because the procedure is noninvasive, safe, quick (lasting only a few minutes), and does not require sedation, Virtual Colonography is an excellent screening technology, and often preferred by patients over the conventional or standard colonoscopy. There are no risks of complications such as bowel perforation or complications from sedation associated with standard colonoscopy. Patients may return to their usual activities as soon as the test is over. Virtual Colonography also allows for evaluation of the entire colon, something a standard colonoscopy may not be able to do in all cases because normal twists and turns in the large intestines make navigating the colonoscope difficult. Virtual Colonography is accurate in identifying significant polyps and offers an alternative screening option for those who are simply not willing to undergo conventional colonoscopy, which is invasive, can be uncomfortable, and requires sedation. How accurate is Virtual Colonography compared to conventional colonoscopy? Early studies show that Virtual Colonography is comparable to conventional colonoscopy in terms of identifying polyps six millimeters or greater in size. -
