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.

Successful Stereotactic Guided Vacuum Assisted Biopsy in the Evaluation of Breast Microcalcifications: A Study in a Single Tertiary Referral Center in the …

Stereotactic-Guided Vacuum Biopsy in Breast Microcalcifications {faces}

This study examined the outcomes of vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) for assessing breast microcalcifications. Conducted on 257 patients, most were classified under BI-RADS 4B (80.2%) and 4C (17.1%). More than half (57.6%) had microcalcifications distributed in multiple groups, with the most common morphology being punctate amorphous (42.4%).

Pathological results showed that 70% of patients had benign findings, while 26.8% had malignant features. The distribution of malignancies varied across BI-RADS categories: in the 4B category, 32 cases were malignant, and 166 were benign, whereas in the 4C category, 34 cases were malignant, and 10 were benign (P < 0.001).

Conclusion: This study demonstrated that VAB is an effective method for evaluating breast microcalcifications and can serve as a promising diagnostic tool for suspected cases.
