Advanced Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology Research Center

COVID-19 pandemic 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Radiology Research Center at Tehran University of Medical Sciences continued its research activities despite the challenges posed by the increased demand for CT scans of COVID-19 patients and the necessity of adhering to strict health protocols. This center played a crucial role in improving medical imaging techniques, optimizing diagnostic protocols, and advancing technologies related to CT scan image analysis.

Faculty members, researchers, and staff remained committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of healthcare professionals and patients while actively engaging in imaging data analysis, developing artificial intelligence algorithms for faster disease detection, publishing scientific articles, and presenting their findings at international conferences. These efforts aimed to enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve treatment processes, and alleviate pressure on healthcare systems.

 

Key achievements of the Radiology Research Center during the COVID-19 pandemic include:


✔️ Development and optimization of lung imaging protocols for faster and more accurate COVID-19 diagnosis
✔️ Implementation of artificial intelligence technologies for automated CT scan analysis and reduced diagnosis time
✔️ Publication of high-impact research articles on innovative imaging methods for COVID-19 patients
✔️ Participation in national and international projects focused on COVID-19 diagnosis and patient management

The center remains dedicated to advancing research in medical imaging and continues to contribute as a leading scientific institution in improving the quality of diagnostic and therapeutic services.

Anthracosis, a Distinct Cause of Vocal Fold Paralysis: Case Series

Anthracosis, a Distinct Cause of Vocal Fold Paralysis {faces}

Vocal fold paralysis (VFP) can happen in various conditions due to mediastinal LADs, however no study has proposed anthracosis as an etiology. Here we discussed the chest CT features of anthracosis related LADs causing VFP. Among 41 cases of pulmonary anthracosis, 10 had VFP that all were presented with hoarseness. The paralysis was unilateral (left side) in all cases. Extra-nodal infiltration and conglomeration of lymph nodes were significantly higher in patients with paralysis. Left paratracheal, pre-vascular, and aortopulmonary window lymph nodes were seen in all patients. We propose that mediastinal LADs secondary to anthracosis could be a reason for left side VFP
