ABSTRACT The aim of this study was assessment of geriatric brain consequences in Sudan by using computer tomography and magnetic resonance image. The methodology was based on measurement of brain ventricles, cranialvolume, Hounsfield unit, signal intensity of gray and white matters. The results showed that: aging shows less significant (R2 =0.4) impact on ventricle volume generally (due to gender factor) and the correlation best fitted to equation: y = 1.4588x - 40.742, where x refers to age...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to characterize the lumbar degenerative disc disease in patients with lower back pain by using MRI depending on pfirrmann’s grading system.

The study conducted at Alyaa specialized hospital during the period from (February to September 2016). The sample size was 100 cases- with different symptoms were chosen axial and coronal cuts, done to explain the suitable technique to demonstrate all the para-nasal sinuses disease clearly. Data was collected and analyzed by SpssSoftware. The result of the study showed ...
Abstract Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, which can be diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study is an analytical study, which conducted in many diagnostic centers from May 2015 to Mars 2018, MRI brain scan were done for 64 patients (male 18) and female(46) their age range 17 year to 46 year. Patients known case of multiple sclerosis the aim of this study was to evaluate the of routine MRI brain protocol for M...
Abstract This study was done to determine the normal Antero-posterior diameter of the spinal canal in lumbosacral region (all lumbar and first sacral level) among the adult Sudanese population using the MRI and to determine whether there are any differences related to age, weightand gender regarding this diameter. The study was retrospective descriptive cross-sectional analytical study. MRI examinations were performed in Modern Medical Center for 200 normal Sudanese subjects to study the lum...
ABSTRACT This study is an attempt to evaluate the pituitary gland for patients with visual disturbance using MRI by measuring size of pituitary gland and signal intensity in T1Weighted image, with and without contrast and T2Weighted image. The study was conducted at Alzaytouna Specialist Hospital (KhartoumSudan) during the period from September 2016 up to February 2017 fifty subjects were selected in both gender and with different ages. All subjects were scanned for brain using MRI Machine 1...
Study of Upper Airway Tract of Normal and Snoring Patients Using Computed Tomography
ABSTRACT The aims of this study were to evaluate liver measurements (linear, volume) and texture on computed tomography scan, to test their reflection in interpretation of the pattern of liver enzymes abnormality and to assess the ability of laboratory tests and liver imaging tests to detect hepatic diagnosis. Prospective study of 100 patients (41 males & 59 females) with ages ranged between 25-85 years was conducted at Royal diagnostic center during the period extended from June 2014 to Jul...
Abstract This retrospective study aimed to measure normal size of third and fourth ventricles in adults. This study was done to general electric and new soft MRI machines 1.5T. The study period from September to December 2016. The important Study carried out in sample of 205patient (121male and 84female) how underwent brain MRI examination the male 121(59%)and femal84 (41%)patient not complained for any disease affected to the measurements. The study found that normal third ventricle measure...
Abstract Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is when blood suddenly bursts into brain tissue, causing damage to the brain. It is most often caused by hypertension and is associated with increased intracranial pressure. ICH usually occurs in the basal ganglia, thalamus, pons and cerebral and cerebellar white matter. Cross-sectional descriptive population-based incidence study aimed to assess the intracerebral hemorrhage using CT scanning through identifying the site, size and intensity of the intr...
ABSTRACT The main objective of this research to study PE by using CT The study was carried out at Yastabshiroon Hospital and Daralelag Hospital in Khartoum, during the period from April 2017 to September 2017. A sample of 50 patients (22 males and 28 females) with clinically diagnosed of PE , underwent CTA and were grouped according to sex, according to age the study finding in 20 patients (40%) with age range (66-75) years,15 patients (30%) with age range (56-65) years ,8 patients (16%) with...
Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the normal spleen in Sudanese population using computed tomography (CT) scan by measuring the normal spleen, liver and vertebrae CT number as well as to correlate the spleen readings with patients age, gender and race as well as to correlate the spleen readings with liver and vertebrae CT numbers in order to find out the normal standard value as local refrence for Sudanese and to compare the findings with other population and literature. ...
Abstract The study was done to characterize foramen magnum using CTs and effect of diameter of base of the skull and height of patient on the diameter of foramen magnum. 50 patients (60% males and 40% females) were selected all the diagnosis as normal cranial CTs. This study was done in Abdoon SidAhmed Diagnostic Center and Alfaisal Specialized Hospital during the period from January to Marsh 2016. This study found the mean anterior posterior diameter FM in male subjects as 37.41mm (±3....
Abstract: Corpus callosum is vital part of the human brain because it enhances and maintains communication between brain hemispheres. It is likely to be affected by the physiologic, as well as pathological changes occurred in the regions of brain. Also corpus callosum dimensions and texture might be change in respect to age which generally might insinuate or simulate pathology. Therefore Study of normal measurements of corpus callosum is helpful in providing baseline data for recognizin...
Abstract Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and is responsible for considerable perinatal morbidity and mortality. This study aims to evaluate Doppler indices and measure umbilical diameter in patients with pre-eclampsia. This was a prospective, cross-sectional, hospital-based, case-control study of 30 normotensive (controls) and 30 pre-eclamptic (cases) women at Khartoum Teaching Hospital; between the period of December 2014 – June 2015.
