    (AVES, 2019-01-01) Arslan, Aydan; Ulus, Sila; Ince, Umit; Tekant, Gonca; Karaarslan, Ercan
    Leiomyomas are benign, slow-growing, smooth muscle tumors, which can occur at many locations in the body. The male genitourinary tract is seldom affected and scrotal leiomyomas are extremely rare. Most of the scrotal leiomyomas are localized in the testis, epididymis, spermatic cord, subcutaneous tissue, tunica albuginea, and scrotal skin and only a few of them are reported in the origin of isolated tissue without paratesticular structures in the paratesticular region. We are presenting a case of solitary paratesticular leiomyoma in a child, which is very rare in terms of lesion location and patient age, and describing the imaging features of this lesion.

    Whole-Body MRI Screening in Asymptomatic Subjects
    (INT SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION INC, 2016-01-01) Ulus, Sila; Suleyman, Erdogan; Ozcan, Umit Aksoy; Karaarslan, Ercan
    Background: The aim of this study is to describe the technique and to evaluate the results of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in an asymptomatic population. Material/Methods: Between March 2009 and December 2011, 118 consecutive subjects undergoing thorough medical check-up were prospectively included in the study. MRI was performed with a 205-cm moving table, parallel imaging and automatic image composing software. Results: In 83 subjects (70\%), 103 benign lesions were detected. Two malignant (adrenal and renal carcinoma) lesions and one precancerous (pancreatic mucinous carcinoma) lesion were detected. The most common lesions were renal cysts, liver hemangiomas, liver cysts, thyroid nodules, and uterine leiomyomas. Conclusions: WB-MRI is able to cover area from head to toes in one diagnostic work-up, and besides the anatomic regions evaluated by conventional radiological modalities, i.e. brain parenchyma, bones and extremities, can be evaluated in one examination.

    ISA New Technical Mode in Mammography: Self-Compression Improves Satisfaction
    (AVES, 2019-01-01) Ulus, Sila; Kovan, Ozge; Arslan, Aydan; Elpen, Pinar; Aribal, Erkin
    Objective: We aimed to evaluate the mammography experience of patients using a manually controlled self-compression tool compared to their previous experience based on technician performed breast compression by a questionnaire survey study. Materials and Methods: The survey studies of 365 patients who underwent screening or diagnostic mammography between April 2017 and July 2017 at our center were reviewed retrospectively. Each patient had completed a 12-item questionnaire following mammography examinations. Women who never had a mammography before or who had a previous mammography examination more than 2 years ago or who did not want to use the self-compression device were excluded from the study. 106 women were included in the study. Results: Patient satisfaction was high. Regarding the comparison of the experience of the exam to previous ones, 70.8\% said it was a better experience. The examination was found comfortable by 85.4\% of the participants and 75.5\% found the examination more comfortable compared to previous ones. Only 11.3\% were anxious and 52.8\% declared they were less anxious compared to previous examinations. Regarding the attractiveness of the new design, 66.9\% declared they found the new design attractive, 39.7\% found it more attractive than previous examinations, and 27.3\% said the new design decreased anxiety. In the evaluation of impact of patient-assisted compression (PAC) on comfort, 80.2\% said that they found it more comfortable and 64.2\% said that PAC decreased anxiety. Furthermore, 72.6\% said the exam was shorter. Conclusion: Self-compression technique decreases pain and anxiety of women during mammography examinations and promises to enhance compliance of clients and patients with follow-up mammography recommendations.
