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.

 

Some of the center's significant achievements during the pandemic include:

Evaluation of intima-media thickness of carotid artery in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease using ultrasound

This study demonstrated a higher IMT in patients with chronic GVHD after BMT and no significant difference in IMT of patients without GVHD compared with controls

We studied the use of ultrasound in the detection of intima-media thickness (IMT) as an early predictor of atherosclerosis in patients with and without chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 30 BMT. patients without history of chronic GVHD, 30 BMT patients with chronic GVHD and 30 healthy contro IMT was estimated at 3 points on the right and left sides – 1: within 10 mm of the distal common caroti  artery; 2: within 10 mm of the carotid bulb; and 3: within 10 mm of the proximal internal carotid art  Results: Patients with chronic GVHD had a significantly (p < 0.01) higher overall IMT and IMT in the right or left bulb of carotid compared with patients without chronic GVHD and controls. No differences were found in IMT at different points between controls and patients without GVHD. Conclusion: This study demonstrated a higher IMT in patients with chronic GVHD after BMT and no significant difference in IMT of patients without GVHD compared with controls.
