Abstract Computed tomography (CT) scan is currently the most irradiating radio diagnostic procedure for the patients. The effective dose delivered by a CT-scan exploration corresponds to 1–20 years of natural irradiation of an individual. Hence, there is need to evaluate this medical exposure, in order to provide indicators and propose guidelines for its daily practice. The purpose of this work was to assess patient exposure levels due to CT-scan exams and propose a local diagnostic reference levels for the most common CT examinations performed in the radiology units of Douala/Cameroon. Data from 1775 CT scans, amongst which 10 different types of common CT examinations on adults and children, were collected, of which 1378 were adult CT scans and 397 were pediatric CT scans. The dose-length product (DLP) values in the adult population for head, abdomen–pelvic and lumber spine CT scans were high as compared to the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety recommendations and previous local DRL with an increase of 36, 15 and 23%, respectively. A general decrease of the DLP for CT-scans examinations in the pediatric population was observed.

High Index Of Suspicion

Urachus is epithelialized, fibromuscular remnant part connecting urinary bladder with umbilicus. Urachal anomalies present and progress differently in paediatric and adult population. They remain largely asymptomatic until infected. Clinical presentation may vary from simple discharge from umbilicus to intrabdominal abscess and peritonitis. We present a case of urachal sinus presenting as recurrent umbilical abscess. 30 years male presented with complaints of umbilical mass with pus discharge. He was evaluated clinically and radiologically. Ultrasound revealed a localized collection near umbilicus whereas CT scan revealed connection of that collection to a fibrous strand like structure approximately 10 cm extending from umbilicus to urinary bladder. An open exploration was done under regional anaesthesia and 20 ml of abscess drained with excision of tract by ligating near the bladder end. Local debridement was done near the umbilical area. Wound closed in layers. Post-op period was uneventful without any recurrence. urachal anamolies need a high index of suspicion in adults to intervene early and get better outcomes with less morbidity.

Abstract Objectives The cervical vertebrae are more durable than other skeletal components, and therefore may be the only remnants of a dead body. The present study aims to investigate the role of several linear dimensions of the second cervical vertebrae measured by Three-Dimensional Computed Tomographic Scanning (3D CT Scan) in height estimation of Iranian adult population. In this cross-sectional study, height determination was performed by measuring 15 indexes of the second cervical vertebrae. Indexes were obtained by screening cervical CT scan of 66 patients (33 males and 33 females) aged ≥ 18 years at Rasoul Hospital. Chi square, T student and logistic regression tests were used for statistical analysis. The significance level was considered to be < 0.05. Result In the total population, among the indexes for the second cervical vertebrae, the Max height of the axis (AMA) (r = 0.470, P = 0.0001), Max length of the axis (CMA) (r = 0.320, P = 0.007), and Sagittal max body diameter (DSMC) (r = 0.281, P = 0.019) had a strong and positive correlation with height. The results of this study showed the accuracy of linear dimensions of cervical vertebrae in determining the body height of the Iranian adult population.

Abstract Objectives The study aimed to estimating the sex from several metric dimensions of second and seventh cervical vertebras using Computed Tomography (CT) scan images of a series of Iranian adult populations. In this study, sexual dimorphism of 15 indexes of second cervical vertebra and 10 indexes of the seventh cervical vertebra were investigated. Indexes were obtained from CT scan images of 70 patients who underwent CT scan imaging for other indications.Results Among measured dimensions of the second vertebra, 9 were associated with sex. Of these indexes, Maximum width of the superior Facet and Maximum height of axis were independent predictors of sex with correct sex classification of 81.4% when used in combination. Four of 10 seventh vertebra’s indexes were associated with sex: Length of superior facets, Length of the inferior surface of the vertebral body, Width of the inferior surface of the vertebral body, and the Length of spinous process. Length of the inferior surface of the vertebral body and the Length of spinous process were independent sex predictors and together provided sex classification accuracy of 78.6%. We found considerable accuracy in sex classification by using metric dimensions of second and seventh cervical vertebras in the Iranian adult population.

Background: The cervical vertebrae are more durable than other skeletal components, and maybe the only remains of a deceased, and their role in determining the height of the deceased has been underestimated. The present study investigated the role of linear differential dimensions of the seventh cervical vertebrae in determining the height of the Iranian adult population using CT scans.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, height were evaluated by 10 indices of the seventh cervical vertebra. The indices were obtained through a CT scan of 66 adult patients, ≥18 years of age, who referred to Rasoul Akram and Firoozgar hospitals for spine CT scan. The sampling method was random, and the study was performed during the first six months of 2018. Results: Four indices of the Length of the Inferior Facets) LIF, (Length of the Inferior Surface of the Vertebral Body) LIVB, (Width of the Inf surface of the Vertebral Body) WIVB, (Length of Spinous Process ) LSP. were statistically significant differences.Conclusion: The results of this study show the accuracy of linear dimensions of the seventh cervical vertebrae for determining height from skeletal remains in the Iranian adult population.
