...A surprising number of apparently healthy people harbor unsuspected pituitary tumors, which are being discovered incidentally on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed for other reasons. The majority can be safely observed; for others, medical therapy or...

...patient-centered environment. An approach to integrative cardiology includes advanced diagnostic testing using a 64-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner with positron emission tomography (PET), metabolic clinic, nutrition counseling, cardiac rehabilitation, biofeedback, yoga, meditation...

...of the mass to decide what treatment, if any, is needed. Measurement of precontrast Hounsfield units (HU) and contrast washout on computed tomography scan provide useful diagnostic information. All patients should undergo biochemical testing for pheochromocytoma, either with plasma or urinary...

Very important and informative thread Dr. Scally. One question when your saying Allopathic Medicine, that's an M.D. right? Doctors of Allopathic Medicine is the correct term for an M.D. Physician. As is Osteopathic Medicine is a D.O. Physician. Both basically the same just different titles...

...there was any benefit to the remaining 26 patients remains unclear. Technical variations Aberrations were most common in computed tomography (CT) examinations of the abdomen, pelvis and thorax, followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the head. With CT scans of the abdomen...

...injection sites. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: General hospital. PARTICIPANTS: 100 consecutive adults who had computed tomography of the pelvis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Minimum distance between the surface of the skin and the nearest edge of muscle at intramuscular...

...confounding cannot be excluded. Indeed, a study of 221 non-diabetic men, which was able to adjust for regional adiposity by computed tomography (CT) imaging, showed that the inverse relationship of insulin resistance, a key component of the MetS, with testosterone was no longer significant...

...randomized trial that was initiated in 2002 with the primary goal to determine whether screening for lung cancer with computed tomography (CT), when compared with chest radiographs, reduces lung cancer specific mortality. The trial represented a merger of two NCI-sponsored activities, the NCI...

...of cancer. [ID:nN01116048] Here are some questions and answers about CT scans: Q: WHAT IS A CT SCAN? A: CT, short for computed tomography, is an advanced type of X-ray that gives doctors the ability to see inside the body, in some cases eliminating the need for exploratory surgery...

...or placebo for 26 weeks. The primary end point was the percent change from baseline in visceral adipose tissue as shown on computed tomography. Secondary end points included triglyceride levels, the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the level of...

...were associated with tibia and radius estimates of bone strength, cortical density, or total bone area. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) was used to compare tibial and radial bone volumetric density (vBMD, mg/cm3), total (ToA, mm2) and cortical (CoA, mm2) bone area, and...

...at a dose of 2 mg or identical placebo, sc, was given daily. Main Outcome Measure: We evaluated percent change in VAT by computed tomography scan at wk 26. Results: At wk 26, VAT decreased significantly in tesamorelin-treated patients (-24 +/- 41 vs. 2 +/- 35 cm(2), tesamorelin vs. placebo, P...

...with liver biopsy. Most individuals with NAFLD have been diagnosed after abnormal liver function tests and/or ultrasound or computed tomography scans indicated a fatty liver. It is possible to have NAFLD, especially the chronic, progressive form, in the setting of apparently normal liver...

...months after onset, or irrespective of duration if a serious underlying cause is suspected; 4) the clinician should not obtain computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the patient with a primary complaint of hoarseness prior to visualizing the larynx; 5) the clinician should...

I'm surprised that journal article didn't say anything about doctors making the assessment of HPV diagnosis or history of alcohol use.

...study. Outcome Measures and Subjects: Measures were anthropometric measures, serum 25OHD radioimmunoassay values, and computed tomography (CT) values of fat, muscle mass, and percent muscle fat in 90 postpubertal females, aged 16-22 yr, residing in California. Results: Approximately 59%...

...were elevated. A feminizing tumor was considered; biochemical tumor markers, chest x-ray, ultrasound of testes, and abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan were negative. Dexamethasone-suppression testing showed normal suppression of 24-hour urinary adrenal steroids...

...facial pain, and increase in PRL to 13,471 ng/ml. Visual field deterioration and increased tumor size (height, 40-43 mm) by computed tomography were documented. A relationship between T injection and exacerbation of the prolactinoma was not recognized until after a second T injection 3 months...

Thank-you. But doesnt this have limited applicability becuase there not healthy eugondal males? From what I understand. PRL is regulated by testosterone (long feedback) and also estrogen at the anterior pituitary. Do you have any information on 19-Nors and PRL? Would they raise PRL...

...popularity of CT scans. Such scans can deliver the radiation equivalent of 400 chest X-rays. An estimated 70 million CT (for computed tomography) scans are performed in the United States every year, up from three million in the early 1980s, and as many as 14,000 people may die every year...

...density. His serum estradiol and estrone, FSH, and LH concentrations were elevated, while testosterone was normal. Electron beam computed tomography scanning of the heart in this individual showed calcium deposition in his left anterior descending coronary artery, indicating early...

Dr. Scally, from literature I have read and reviewed, I could not agree more. Estrogen in males is an extremely positive hormone to have in the body. Long-term estrogen suppression from AI can quickly bring down HDL levels so dangerously low levels, sometimes even in the single digits. In my...

...when your preventive actions are more likely to result in success.8 My preferred method to screen for hidden heart disease is a computed tomography (CT) basic heart scan, which yields a heart scan “score.” A CT heart scan should not be confused with a CT coronary angiogram, commonly referred...
