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:

The Cystic Hepatic Mesenchymal Hamartoma in an Adult Mistaken for Hydatid Disease: Case Report

 Cystic Hepatic Mesenchymal Hamartoma {faces}

Hydatid cyst is one of the predominantly cystic liver lesions and is also a zoonotic disease that is highly endemic in the Mediterranean region. This condition has extensive differential diagnoses, such as hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma, a rare benign hepatic tumor, which commonly occurs in infants and children, and is extremely rare in adults. Its imaging findings vary from a cystic tumor to a solid mass occupying one or both lobes of the liver. We report an unusual case of a purely cystic mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver in a 60-year-old female patient. The patient had been treated with albendazole for several years; however, the final histopathology revealed mesenchymal hamartoma
