Non-traumatic headache as an emergent conditions-role of MRI
Background: Non-traumatic headaches are a prevalent neurological issue in emergency departments, affecting about 1–4% of patients. These headaches can be classified as primary or secondary, with the latter posing a risk of severe complications. Neuroimaging is critical for identifying secondary headache causes, with CT traditionally used to reveal abnormalities in 13–15% of patients. MRI offers superior soft tissue imaging without ionizing radiat…
Melanoma
Background: Melanoma is a significant and aggressive form of skin cancer originating from melanocytes. The rising incidence of melanoma, particularly among younger populations, underscores the need for increased awareness and early detection. Aim: This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the risk factors, early detection methods, and treatment strategies for melanoma, emphasizing recent advancements in the field. Methods: The revie…
Acute kidney injury
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid decline in renal function, with various precipitating factors including heart failure, sepsis, and nephrotoxic drugs. The prevalence in hospitalized patients is concerning, particularly among those with COVID-19, where AKI incidence has reached approximately 36.6%. The current diagnostic criteria primarily rely on serum creatinine (SCR) levels and urine…
The role of radiology in diagnosing and managing acute appendicitis
Background: Acute appendicitis is the most prevalent abdominal infectious condition, affecting nearly 1 in 11 individuals globally. Despite its commonality, diagnostic approaches remain inconsistent across clinical guidelines. A crucial aspect is the differentiation between uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis, as this influences treatment options. Aim: This narrative review evaluates the role of radiological methods—ultrasound (US) and com…
Radiological evaluation of pulmonary embolism
Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a frequent, life-threatening condition predominantly caused by venous thromboembolism. Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, and imaging plays a central role in detecting PE. Recent advancements in imaging techniques have significantly improved diagnostic accuracy. Aim: This article reviews various radiological modalities for evaluating acute PE and their advances in diagnos…
