Thyroid scan was done in 70 students prospectively with no indicative of thyroid disease (age of 19 -23 yrs). Thyroid scan for students who participated the study took place in the department of Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences, King Abdulaziz University by using an IU 22 Philips ultrasound machine with a 5 -12 MHz linear transducer. Among the total number of the subjects, 26% was found with abnormal ultrasound findings, 17% of them with cystic nodule, while solid and mixed nodule represented 4% for each. The high rate of abnormal findings of thyroid gland in the study suggested that screening using ultrasound scan was useful in detecting early thyroid disorders.

Imaging plays an important role for an accurate diagnosis, which in turn diminishes morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to demonstrate optimum CT aspects and emphasize on the important features of CT for those patients presenting with an acute abdominal pain at the Emergency Department both in general and in a number of selected conditions (appendicitis, small-bowel obstruction, acute pancreatitis, and diverticulitis). The reported data by this study are based on the author working experience, which forms a continuous protocol adjustment process. The present study provides evidence that CT would result in definite diagnosis of patients with abdominal pain in terms of the detection of some urgent conditions.

The objective of this study is to characterize the anatomical variations related to the (OC) with the relation to the morphometric parameters of the (FM) and head dimensions using computed tomography (CT). A total of 123 Sudanese patients (75 males and 48 females) with mean ages were 39.89±15.75, 41.02±14.32 years respectively were examined using reformatted axial CT and three-dimensional CT. Characteristics of the head, and measures related to the (FM) and right and left occipital condyles were examined. The results showed no significant difference between the measurements obtained in the right and in left sides. The (OC) morphometric parameters had significant relationship with (FM) antroposterior and transverse diameters. The study revealed a significant difference between the two genders with no significant relations between (OC) and head characteristics. The data obtained by three-dimensional CT images are important in assessing the morphometric variations of (OC) for Sudanese patients. As the (OC) is the main bony eminences impeded the anterolateral surface of the brainstem, neurosurgeons should be familiar with variations of the (OC) and structures surrounding the (FM) in order to achieve the safest surgical procedure.
