Kartageners syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder.1 It is characterized by the triad of situs inversus, bronchiectasis and sinusitis. Basic problem is defective movement of the cilia.3 Recognition in this condition keeps prevention for unnecessary investigation. We have presented a case of Kartageners syndrome in the Samutsakhon hospital.

We report four cases of hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) , the first three cases after pontine hemorrhage from cavernous malformation, arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and hypertension and the latter one after surgery for removal of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) involving dentate nucleus. The magnetic resonance (MR) features of all cases and diffuse tensor imaging (DTI) with fiber tractography findings in one case are described as well as discussion and review literature of this uncommon condition are performed.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the image quality and the radiation dose between fixed tube current (FTC) low dose abdominal CT currently performed at our hospital and new automatic tube current modulation (ATCM) low dose abdominal CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We prospectively performed ATCM low dose abdominal CT in 88 participants who had prior FTC low dose CT for comparison. Four experienced abdominal radiologists independently and blindly assessed the quality of FTC and ATCM low dose CT images by using a 5-point-scale satisfaction score (1 = unacceptable, 2 = poor, 3 = average, 4 = good, and 5 = excellent image quality). Each reader selected the preferred image set between FTC and ATCM low dose techniques for each participant. The image noise of the liver and the aorta in both techniques was measured. The volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) of both techniques was compared. RESULTS: The mean satisfaction scores (SD) for FTC and ATCM low dose CT were 4.38 (0.66) and 4.38 (0.64), respectively with the ranges of 3 to 5 in both techniques, which were all acceptable for CT interpretation. The preferred image set between FTC and ATCM low dose techniques of each participant randomly selected by each reader were varied, depending on the readers’ opinions. The mean image noise of the aorta on FTC and ATCM low dose CT accounted for 34.75 and 36.46, respectively, while the mean image noise of the liver was 28.86 and 29.81, respectively. The mean CTDIvol (SD) of FTC and ATCM low dose CT were 8.42 (0.32) and 8.12 (0.43) mGy, respectively. CONCLUSION: FTC and ATCM low dose abdominal CT provided comparable acceptable image quality and showed no clinical significance in radiation dose optimization.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver tumor and one of the most common causes of cancer-related death in Thailand, particular in male. Extrahepatic metastases are common but usually diagnosed after detection of HCC. These reported cases presented with cerebralhemorrhage and femoral neck fracture which are rare initial presentations of HCC.

In Thailand, the rapid and constant rise in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, together with the increasing number of patients requiring respiratory and other medical life support during the third wave of COVID-19, has drastically overwhelmed the existing country’s healthcare facilities, physicians, and other healthcare workers. Hence, early identification of vulnerable patients at risk and early COVID-19 pneumonia is crucial for timely management and treatment by antivirals or corticosteroids to prevent them from developing severe COVID-19 pneumonia. A prompt chest X-ray report with clear and concise information at baseline screening in alternative healthcare facilities, especially in resource-constrained conditions, is essential. The article presents the incorporation of Rama Co-RADS (a categorical assessment scheme for chest X-ray findings for diagnosing pneumonia in patients with confirmed COVID-19). Its use facilitates a rapid, clear, and concise X-ray report despite the various levels of radiologists’ experience. Comprehensibleand consistent chest X-ray information successfully reduces the time lapse and communication gap among medical staff and assists on-duty, frontline physicians to make prompt and more accurate decisions regarding the management and treatment of COVID-19 patients in accordance with the current national guideline.
