Colonoscopy Audit Increases Detection of Sessile Serrated Polyps
Detection and removal of all adenomas at colonoscopy is associated with a reduced interval cancer rate [1,2]. This is consistent with the adenoma-carcinoma sequence for colorectal cancer. The identification of the serrated polyp cancer pathway has emphasized the importance of detection and removal of sessile serrated polyps. Serrated polyps are precursor lesions accounting for 15% to 30% of colorectal cancers. They are overrepresented as a cause of interval cancers [3].
Determination of Teeth and Arch Size Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in an Iranian Population
Teeth and arch size determination is an important factor in dentistry and forensic medicine. Evidence shows that cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a highly accurate tool for the measurement of mesiodistal tooth width and arch dimensions. This study aimed to assess the teeth and arch dimensions of males and females on CBCT images of patients presenting to the Radiology Department of Tabriz School of Dentistry.
Is Cone Beam Computed Tomography Suggested for Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Particularly about preoperative evaluation and treatment planning for wisdom tooth extractions, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has revolutionized the dental field. With regard to patient care and treatment outcomes, this Letter to the Editor aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and limitations of using CBCT during wisdom tooth extraction procedures.
The Diagnostic Accuracy of Ankle Brachial Index in Relation to Coronary Computed Tomography in Coronary Artery Disease
Arterial stiffness and loss of recoil indicate arterial aging and arteriosclerosis, which heighten the risk of cardiovascular issues, particularly ischemic heart disease. Advances in technology, particularly coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), allow for accurate detection of coronary luminal stenosis with high image quality. Due to its noninvasive nature and high specificity and negative predictive value, CCTA is widely utilized for assessing coronary artery disease (CAD). It also facilitates the analysis of plaque characteristics and calcium levels in the coronary arteries, providing further insights into coronary risk.
