It was a prospective descriptive study during the first wave of the COVID-19 epidemic in France. Patients were referred to the medical imaging department for a thoracic CT scan without contrast injection or an angioscanner in the context of a suspected COVID-19 pneumopathy or pulmonary embolism. The study involved both sexes, the male sex was with 55.20% and sex ratio of 1.24. In our study 50% of our patients had a comorbid factor, of which diabetes and hypertension were the most represented with 33% and 17%. The RT PRC test is considered the gold standard in the diagnosis of COVID-19 disease. This test was positive in 63.62% of our patients. CT imaging played a key role in the management of COVID-19 pneumonia because chest CT scans found lesions consistent with COVID-19 pneumonia in 71% of patients. The depoliated lung lesion was present in 87% of our patients, with sub pleural topography and minimal parenchymal involvement predominating. In our study, the chest CT scan had a higher sensitivity and a lower specificity than the PCR test.展开更多

We initiated this work in order to study the contribution of imaging in the diagnosis of acute intestinal obstruction at the Point-G University Hospital. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective, descriptive and analytical study of 96 patients collected at the radiology and medical imaging department of CHU Point-G from January 2018 to January 2019. Results: The age of our patients varied from 11 to 86 years, with an average of 36 years old. There was a male predominance of 64.6% against 35.4% for women, i.e., a sex ratio of 1.82. Previous surgery was found in 61.5% of our patients. The pain was present in all patients. An unprepared abdominal X-ray was performed in 89.6% of patients. Hydroaerobic levels were found in 96.5% of patients. Abdominopelvic CT scans were performed on 12 patients, all of whom were diagnosed with occlusion. These positive diagnostic findings were consistent with intraoperative findings in 92% of cases. The causes were dominated by bridges in 46 patients and tumors in 9 patients. Signs of severity on CT were dominated by signs of distress of the upstream bile ducts in 8.3%. Exactly 8% of our patients spontaneously resumed transit, 91% received surgical treatment and 1% died before surgery. The outcome was favorable in 80 patients (83.3%) and poor with death in 16 patients (16.7%). Conclusion: Acute intestinal obstruction remains a serious pathology for which the X-ray of the PSA is often the only radiological examination performed in an emergency. However, abdominopelvic CT seems to us to be widely indicated thanks to its contribution both to the positive diagnosis and to the diagnosis of severity and etiology. However, this imaging technique is widely underused in our practice because of its high cost and lack of availability.展开更多

Patients and Method: This was a prospective, cross-sectional study that took place over a 12-month period from January 1 to December 31, 2018. It focused on pregnant women in whom scanopelvimetry was performed in the medical imaging department of Point G University Hospital during the study period. Results: Out of 8615 CT examinations performed in the radiology department, we collected 65 cases of scanopelvimetry, i.e., 0.7% of the CT examinations. Primigravida and paucigravida dominated the study (40% each). In 60% of the pregnant women the height was less than 150 cm. The most frequent indication for CT scanning was clinical pelvic narrowing (50%). In 80% of the cases, the scanopelvimetry was performed after 37 weeks of amenorrhea. A predominance of narrowing of the superior strait was noted (40%). 4.6% of the pregnant women had a Magnin index of less than 20. CT scanopelvimetry is a feasible examination in our context but the level of demand is low because of the high cost of the examination (49500 fca). Conclusion: In light of the results obtained, we can say that CT pelvimetry allows us to predict the probable route of delivery and thus we can reduce the risk of fetomaternal morbidity and mortality to improve maternal and child health.展开更多
