New Intestinal Ultrasound Score for Assessing Inflammatory Bowel Disease Activity and Identifying Severity
Abdominal Imaging 4 min.
A collection of non‐specific inflammatory disorders of the digestive system is known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two primary forms of IBD. IBD is typically characterized by relapses and remissions, resulting in the need for patients...
Impact of particle size on R*2 and fat fraction estimation for accurate assessment of hepatic iron overload and steatosis using MRI
Abdominal Imaging 4 min.
Over the past decade, MRI has emerged as a noninvasive tool for the estimation of fat fraction (FF) and ‐based liver iron concentration (LIC) to diagnose hepatic steatosis and iron overload, respectively. Although MRI techniques are accurate and reproducible for the independent presence of hepatic...
Diagnostic yield of upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy and colonoscopy in patients with iron deficiency anaemia while on direct oral anticoagulants
Abdominal Imaging 4 min.
Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is a significant global health problem, affecting approximately 20% of the world's population, with significant geographical variation. The aetiology of IDA can be classified as inadequate dietary iron, malabsorptive disorders or blood loss. In developed countries, chronic...
