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.

Management of Osteoid Osteoma Using Radiofrequency Ablation

Management of Osteoid Osteoma Using Radiofrequency Ablation {faces}

Background:

 Osteoid osteomas (OO) are the third most common benign bone tumors affecting mostly children and adolescents with more tendency toward males. There are different treatment options consisting of medical therapy . Of note percutaneous thermal ablation (PTA) procedures that refer to radio frequency ablation (RFA) and intersAtitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) have also been recently applied with high success rates.

Objectives:

 We aimed to assess the safety and outcomes of RFL and ILP in patients with OO as well as compare the efficacy of these two procedures.

Patients and Methods:

 Medical records of 60 OO patients were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups, of which 40 underwent RFA procedures and 20 went through ILP. All patients were followed up clinically either through telephone interview or outpatient clinic visit and imaging was conducted in case signs and symptoms recurred.

Results:

 In patients who underwent RFA, pain was relieved within 1 - 7 days in 35, and 1 - 3 months in five patients. Primary and secondary clinical effectiveness were 90.00% and 92.50%, respectively. In ILP, the technical success rate was 100% and the initial clinical success rate was 85.00%.

Conclusion:

 Similar to previous published studies, this study showed high success rates for both RFA and ILA. Total pain relief occurred in 96.6% of the patients
