Gauri Mukhiya, MBBS, MD, DM*; Nishant Mishra, MBBS, MD, DM; Sailendra Khatri, Student of MBBS; Sakewa Rai, Student of MBBS; Sugam Saru, Student of MBBS

    The Portal Vein (PV) is the primary vessel of the portal venous system, formed by the confluence of the splenic and superior mesenteric veins behind the neck of the pancreas at the level of the second lumbar vertebra. The portal vein and hepatic artery together constitute the liver’s dual blood supply.


Comparison of Radiation Dose in Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT)

Sunita Gwachha*; Sahana Kayastha

    Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and is the leading cause of death in women globally with an estimated 2.3 million new cases [1]. According to the cancer statistics, the incidence rate of breast cancer increased slightly by 0.3% per year over the recent five- year (2012-2016) [2].

    The skull base angle, a critical anatomical and clinical parameter, plays a pivotal role in various medical disciplines, including neurology, otolaryngology, and maxillofacial surgery. Understanding the skull base angle involves examining the intricate anatomical relationships within the cranial base.


CTDI and DLP in Focus: Strategies for Radiation Dose Optimization in CT Imaging

Sami Smerat*; Ahmad Abu Arrah; Ibrahim Sraheen

    CTDI measures the radiation dose for each individual slice, DLP reflects the cumulative dose across the entire scanned region. Together, these metrics provide a standardized framework for assessing radiation levels, facilitating comparison across different scans and institutions, and ensuring adherence to safety standards.
