Pulmonary embolism (PE) has a significant associated morbidity and mortality. The role of diagnostic imaging in PE is being increasingly undertaken by computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). An advantage of CTPA is its ability to simultaneously provide information on the lung parenchyma, mediastinum, pleural spaces, and chest wall. A samp...

Increasing concern has recently been expressed in the literature that the referring doctor's knowledge of radiation doses incurred during radiological procedures is inadequate. Such information may be particularly relevant when the expansion of imaging technology is considered. To assess this, a survey was conducted of the awareness of radiation do...

To determine the potential application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the characterisation of focal liver lesions encountered in radiological practice at a district general hospital. Retrospective analysis of 68 sequential patients undergoing contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of liver. All patients were referred for CEUS following identificat...

... The pulmonary CTA plays an important role in TOF preparative evaluation and workup and assists by minimizing routine invasive digital subtraction catheter angiography which takes a conventional time delay of 15-17 seconds and the pulmonary CTA in less than 10 seconds [7]. The pulmonary CTA is also advantageous to lower slice scanners for follow-up and monitoring, including volumetric quantification, as well as for diagnosing pulmonary embolism, hypertension, and additional pathologies of the chest [8], and can be used in cases in which magnetic resonance imaging is contraindicated or limited due to noncompatible implanted devices like pacemakers and stents or claustrophobia. Pulmonary CT angiography can be diagnosed by studying the complex anatomy and variations in the TOF subtypes such as absent pulmonary valve and pulmonary atresia with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCA) [9]. ...
... The European approval study for SonoVue 2001 was published as a first prospective multicenter trial with convincing results [25]. In the following years, the use of SonoVue/Lumason has been widely studied and shown to be of value, as has been represented in prospective studies and meta analyses [26][27][28][29][30][31][31][32][33][34][35][36], in retrospective studies including some pediatric patients as well [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], and in evidence-based guidelines [15]. ...
... It is found that information conveyed by media lack some correctness, thus, the community needs to understand that hospitals use low doses of ionizing radiation, which may affect only a few cells and that damage may not cause symptoms in the body. This simple cell damage may subsequently be repaired with time (Dixon and Dendy, 2003: 77-78, Chougule 2005:54, Maree, Irving and Hering, 2007:1, Soye and Paterson, 2008:728, Kim and McBridge, 2010: 354-359, Hau and Graham, 2012: 89-97, Busey, Soine, Yager, Choi and Shuma, 2013. It is ideal to believe that if this knowledge was known to the community, more people would attend hospitals for x-ray and radiotherapy examinations. ...
