CT enterography requires administration of large volumes of neutral oral contrast, which can mask bleeding by dilution. In addition, such volumes are often not tolerated by a patient who is acutely ill. Although multiphasic CT enterography can detect bleeding, the primary use of this protocol is ...
According to the malignancy rate recommended by the guidelines, the authors calculated the malignancy rate of the thyroid nodules in this study and compared it with the 2017 ACR-TI-RADS and 2020 C-TI-RADS. It was suggested that the actual malignancy rate in this calculation was not exactly th...

Second, for thyroid nodules suspected of malignancy, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography was performed to further evaluate the nature of the nod- ules. For nodules that were benign or highly likely to be benign after contrast-enhanced examination, it was sug- gested that the patients follow up for...
In addition to these options, the American Cancer Society (ACS) also includes double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) every 5 years in its list of recommended screening tests [26]. The ACS guidelines also separate colorectal cancer screening tools into two categories: (1) those that can screen ...
