Abstract
Vocal fold paralysis (VFP) can happen in various conditions due to mediastinal LADs, however no study has proposed anthracosis as an etiology. Here we discussed the chest CT features of anthracosis related LADs causing VFP. Among 41 cases of pulmonary anthracosis, 10 had VFP that all were presented with hoarseness. The paralysis was unilateral (left side) in all cases. Extra-nodal infiltration and conglomeration of lymph nodes were significantly higher in patients with paralysis. Left paratracheal, pre-vascular, and aortopulmonary window lymph nodes were seen in all patients. We propose that mediastinal LADs secondary to anthracosis could be a reason for left side VFP.

Abstract
Purpose: We aimed to investigate the influence of different methods of region-of-interest (ROI) placement on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in breast tumours and their accuracy in differentiating benign versus malignant tumors in mass and nonmass lesions. Methods and Materials: In this prospective study, 79 patients with 98 breast lesions, from 2015 until 2017, were investigated by 1.5-T breast MRI. Histopathology evaluation were done for all malignant lesions and most of the benign ones. ADC values were measured in normal breast tissue and by two ways of ROI placement in the breast lesions (mass and non-mass): 1- ROI covering the whole lesion, 2- ROI in the highest part (most restricted area) of the lesion in DWI images. The accuracy of these two approaches were compared. Results: The age range was 17-68 years with mean age 43.3 ± 9.9 years. 49% of the lesions were benign and 51% of tumors were malignant. Our results revealed that the measured ADC values in normal breast tissue were higher than breast lesions (P≤0.01). Appropriate cut off determination in non-mass was not valid by both methods, but in mass in the first way was 1.45×10-3mm2/s and in the most restricted part was 1.16×10-3 mm2/s. ADC values differed significantly between the two ways of ROI placement in mass lesions (P<.001). Most restricted part ADC showed the best diagnostic performance in mass lesions with area under curve 0.88 versus 0.82. Conclusion: ROI placement has significant impact on the meseaured ADC values of breast lesions and ROIs in most restricted parts were more accurate than whole-lesion ROIs. Cut-off values differed significantly based on the methods of measurement.

Abstract
Heterotaxy syndromes are defined as the disorders that involve abnormal arrangement of viscera. We present a case of prenatally diagnosed left isomerism in a 30-year-old primigravida woman referred to our hospital for complex cardiac abnormality. Sonographic findings included heart block, unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect, interruption of the inferior vena cava with hemiazygos continuation, double superior vena cava, a right-sided stomach, and biliary atresia. The hemiazygos vein drained into the right atrium by the persistent left superior vena cava. This type of inferior vena cava interruption and continuation is rarely reported in prenatally detected cases of left isomerism. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 45:430-433, 2017.

Abstract
Background: Transvaginal Ultrasonography is a noninvasive and inexpensive medical imaging tool used for the diagnosis of various diseases. Objectives: To identify an effective method to identify high-risk patients for developing malignancy after molar evacuation. Patients and Methods: A prospective serial assessment of 19 patients with gestational trophoblastic disease was performed. Clinical and laboratory data, transvaginal ultrasound and Doppler findings were evaluated the day before evacuation. They were followed-up in the first week after evacuation and every two weeks during the next two months, then every month until the sixth month. Results: Ovarian theca lutein cysts (P = 0.018) (among pre-evacuation factors) and first week ultrasound (P = 0.02) can help in detecting high-risk patients. Even though, when β-hCG titer is not available in a high-risk patient, post evacuation myometrial involvement (P = 0.005) is a useful sign for detecting persistency. Conclusions: Some ultrasonographic features of molar pregnancy have capability to predict malignancy in the course of disease.
