Background and Clinical Significance: Peri-mesencephalic hemorrhage is a rare and benign type of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) defined by the presence of SAH in peripontic and peri-mesencephalic cisterns, with no aneurysm or other source of bleeding on angiography. Cranial nerve involvement is very rare and has been rarely reported in the previous studies. Peri mesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (PMSAH) typically presents with benign clinical symptoms such as headache and nec...

This study investigates the use of 3D-printed models as an educational tool in neuroanatomy, comparing their effectiveness to traditional cadaveric specimens. It addresses the increasing medico-legal and ethical concerns surrounding cadaver procurement, the high costs associated with it, and the limitations in availability. The study aims to create a collection of 3D-printed human brain models for teaching and research, assessing their accuracy and educational impact through questionnaires admin...

Background: A uterine arteriovenous fistula (uterine AVF) is an abnormal connection between uterine vessels. It is a rare but potentially serious condition, often associated with metrorrhagia. Imaging examinations in this case Doppler ultrasound, CT scanner and magnetic resonance imaging allow the diagnosis to be made. Aim: To present a case of post-curettage uterine AVF Case presentation: This was a young woman who had undergone abortive procedures and who presented with metrorrhagia. The diagn...

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant global health challenge, with accurate staging and restaging being critical for effective treatment planning. Traditional reliance on standardized uptake values (SUV) from 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging is limited by image noise, inter-patient variability, and segmentation inconsistencies. Advanced metrics like Metabolic Tumor Volume (MTV) and Total Lesion Glycolysis (TLG) provide a more comprehensive assessment but are hin...

Introduction: Pneumoperitoneum is a radiologic term denoting an abnormal collection of air in the peritoneal cavity. It reflects visceral perforation. Pneumoperitoneum without visceral perforation evidence after laparotomy is called spontaneous or idiopathic pneumoperitoneum. Case Report: We report a case of massive idiopathic pneumoperitoneum in a 3-day-old newborn. Unprepared abdominal x-ray revealed a massive pneumoperitoneum huge oval radiolucency delineated...

Uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) can lead to complications, including hepatic glycogenic overload, also known as Mauriac syndrome. This syndrome, initially described in children with T1DM, is characterized by excessive hepatic glycogen accumulation due to fluctuating hyperglycemia and high insulin doses. It is often underdiagnosed due to clinical overlap with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We report the case of a 15-year-old boy with poorly controll...

Infrared (IR) dyes, especially those within the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, hold significant promise for in vivo visualization, due to their ability to access biological tissues and significantly reduce background interference from autofluorescence. Nanoparticles integrated with IR dyes have undergone extensive investigation regarding their pharmacokinetic behavior, including biodistribution patterns and clearance mechanisms. These nanoparticles exhibit a remarkable ability to prefere...

Introduction: Imaging is an essential tool for good endodontic practice. It participates in the diagnosis and control of the different phases of treatment. However, it should not be forgotten that it is indeed an examination involving ionizing radiation, which can have harmful effects on the patient’s health as well as the practitioner’s and his paramedical staff if the exposure times are long or repeated. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the knowledge and practices o...

Background: Pediatric imaging in Ghana remains one of the biggest challenges for radiographers. The stress and challenges involved in the imaging of pediatric patients make it one of the unattractive areas for radiographers in the profession. Sedation has been one of the most resorted ways to minimize the anxiety and fear of pediatric patients usually undergoing CT and MRI. The challenge remains in the field of plain X-ray imaging. This literature review addresses the various ch...

Background: The recent improvements in ultrasound technology coupled with wide availability, safety, portability, cost-effectiveness, non-ionizing with high spatial resolution renders it the initial choice of imaging for the evaluation of most musculoskeletal diseases. Ultrasound is a particularly useful tool to quickly and accurately localize and characterize pathologies of the sole. Heel pain is a common presenting complaint and affects a wide range of the adult population. Pl...
