Abstract:
Eye movements are a complex task requiring a large number of structures coordinated by three cranial nerves and their centres in the brainstem. Various pathologies may affect any part of the pathway controlling the eye movements and their diagnosis is often based on history and clinical examination. Modern advances in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have recently added a valuable tool in the diagnosis of oculo-motor-related diseases.

Cranial Nerves: Types Part II
Cranial nerves are responsible for transmitting motor and sensory information between the brain and various parts of the body. There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves. While the first six innervate the head and neck, the latter six nerves innervate the head and neck, as well as organs and tissues in the thoracic and abdominal cavities. They facilitate communication, expression, and autonomic control within the human body.

Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging
DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...
