We also provide a brief literature review of the risk factors, imaging choices, and management decision required to treat a perforated ulcer.
Today, doctors have a range of imaging choices for cancer patients, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and positron emission tomography, that have contributed to improvements in identifying the form, type and position of the cancer.
We hypothesized that patients who are highly likely to have a kidney stone are unlikely to harbor an important alternative diagnosis, and may be appropriate for imaging choices other than standard dose CT.
Non-echoplanar DWI is the imaging of choice in detecting post-operative cholesteatoma.
Just like in infected aneurysms computed tomography is the diagnostic imaging of choice in the acute phase.
Even though MRI (particularly T2-FLAIR) is the imaging of choice, CTP can play a significant role that can reveal the cerebral hemodynamics related with this condition.
The study focused on CTPAs and V/Q scans as the diagnostic imaging of choice, as this is the accepted practice in the authors' hospital.
For patients with acute non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage, the decision tree delivers different health states due to characteristics of diagnostic imaging and choice of therapy.
Centralized reading might, to a certain extent, have ruled out bias, especially regarding the decision to request a second imaging and choice of second imaging procedure.
At the end of the decision tree, the cohort is divided into different possible health outcomes due to characteristics of diagnostic imaging and choice of therapy.
