Abstract

Ultrasonography (US) is the cheaper and non invasive modality to determine Achilles tendon. Prone position is the standart position of Achilles tendon US. However, it is a discomfort for an uncooperative patient and a difficult technique too. The erect position is an alternative technique of Achilles tendon US. The goal of this study is to compare the erection as an alternative position with prone as a standart position. Material and Methode: The patient who had an injury or any inflamation process of Achilles tendon were excluded. The patient underwent two positions of Achilles tendon US, 900 and dorsoflexi. Longitudinal axis measured tendon thickness and a transversal axis which covered a cross-sectional area of the tendon. Result: From all the 21 patients coming, 13 patients were males (61,9%), and eight patients were females (38,1%). The mean of tendon thickness and cross-sectional area in 900 prone positions were 4,24±0,24 mm, 30,08±2,86 mm, respectively. The mean of tendon thickness and cross-sectional area in 900 erect positions were 4,27±0,23 mm, 31,36±2,19 mm, respectively. There was no anisotropy effect during longitudinal axis examination. Conclusion: We found that there were no significant differences between a prone and erect position (p<0.05). The erect postion could be an alternative position, uncooperative patient in particular, without reducing the diagnostic value.

Abstract

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic inflammatory process of the middle ear mucosa and mastoid cavity accompanied by tympanic membrane perforation and a history of discharge from the ear canal for more than two months, whether continuous or intermittent. The presence of allergies is thought to play an important role in the occurrence of safe type CSOM. Until now there have been no studies on the characteristics of safe type CSOM patients with allergic rhinitis at the IRJ Hospital Dr. Soetomo Surabaya in 2017. Based on this, it is necessary to conduct research to find out information on the characteristics of patients with safe type CSOM with allergic rhinitis at the IRJ Hospital Dr. Soetomo Surabaya. This study was a retrospective descriptive observational study on secondary data in the form of medical records in patients with safe type CSOM with allergic rhinitis who were treated at the RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya. The results showed that the highest sex distribution was women (75%), the most age group was the age range of 21-30 years (30.56%), the most regional origin was Surabaya (58.33%), the highest employment status was not working (50%), most patients had a history of allergies (86.11%), the most family history of allergic patients was eczema (41.67%), and most allergens were house dust mites (77.77%).

Abstract

Background: Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), namely MRI sequence which is the diffusion of water analysis that shows the complex structure of brain tissue. The weakness of this sequence is scanning time. Number of Diffusion Gradient Direction (NDGD) is one of parameter that effect scanning time. Purpose: This study has aim to compare between NDGD 25 and NDGD 15 in brain tumor. Method: This study used observational analytic study with prospective approach. Five patients were examined using DTI sequence with NDGD 25 and NDGD 15. The parameter for evaluating the quality image is of Fractional Anisotropy (FA) and Fiber Tracking (FT). Result: Image with NDGD 25 was better than NDGD 15, but the difference was not significantly. Conclusion: It can be concluded that NDGD 15 can be solution to get informative image with short scan time when DTI sequence is used to examine brain tumor.

Abstract

Background: Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction (ASIR) reconstruction in unenhanced abdominal CT scan reduce the radiation dose from 11.6 mSv to 2.07 mSv. However, the decrease in dose is accompanied by a decrease in image quality. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is one of image quality parameters. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of the ASIR method on the optimal Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) value in unenhanced abdominal CT of urolithiasis in clinical data. Method: 27 samples collected and the SNR was measured on the ASIR reconstruction results at the level of 40%, 50%, 60% by placing the ROI  in organ structures with different densities. Result: The results of this study indicate that the ASIR method has a significant effect on the SNR value. Based on the linear regression test, the value was 0.005 ( p< 0.05) and only had an effect of 9.5% on SNR. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the ASIR method affects the optimal SNR value for unenhanced abdominal CT on urolithiasis. The ASIR 60% level was recommended.
