A case of multiple hydatid cysts, of embolic origin from a cyst of the left atrium, is discussed. The patient was first admitted to hospital with an intracerebral haemorrhage and was treated conservatively. There was not any cystic or mass lesion other than intracerebral haemorrhage on his computed tomography (CT) scans. In the follow-up period, the CT scans after 14 months showed multiple hydatid cysts, with the largest about 6 cm in diameter, which suggested a growth rate of 5 cm per year.

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...
