Abdominal Ultrasonography was performed with A real time system MEDISON Ultrasonic machine by using 3.5MHz convex transducer, using Hadlock formal. A total of 533 pregnant women over a 36 month were randomly selected from a group of antenatal patients ranged gestational age from (37-42 weeks). and the data analyzed by Statical package for social science (SPSS)., the study demonstrated that the Hadlock formula is valid in estimating fetal weight locally and it was found that the mean Birth Weight (BW) 3.139 kg, (87.4 %) with 472 g (± 15%) standard deviation, while the actual birth Ranges between 2000 to 4400g. The mean actual birth weight in Sudanese population ranges from 2.000 to 4.400 Kg, with mean of 3.139 Kg (87.4 %) and standard deviation of 472g (± 15%). It was found that there was significant correlation between birt...

Material and methods: The study was conducted at EL-Nilain center , Royal care center and Faisal center. Fifty patients of suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) from (August -November 2011), had been selected randomly of different ages and genders underwent spiral CT angiography from the level of arch of aorta to the dome of diaphragm. Scanning was done using Siemens CT machine. Results: Out of 50 patients, there were 38 (76%) positively identified with pulmonary embolism, moreover females (68%) were most likely presented with PE, the right pulmonary artery was more affected. The peak incidence age ranged between 40-60years (32%), Shortness of breath is the most clinical indication with (54%) incidence; half of the patient were presented with DVT, Consequently on CTA 12% of patients with PE showed plural effusion, 20%with consolidation collapse and cavities. Conclusion: The study confirmed that, the spiral CT scanner is very effective modality in detection of pulmonary embolism , since it is non -invasive procedure , and has a high specificity , so it is preferred and used as the first line of investigations in diagnosing of Pulmonary embolism .

A total of 59 patients (padiatric and adults) were examined at the Department of Radiology, Al -Ribat University Hospital- Khartoum. The mean age was 40.80 years for adults while the mean weight was 70.04 kg and the mean age for padiatric was 5.10 years while the mean weight was 20kg. DLP for adults were 1000.25 mGy.cm, 733.33 for padiatrics. The mean effective dose for adults patient was 0.48 mSv in rang (0.49-0.44) mSv, while for padiatric patients was 0.31mSv in rang between (0.49- 0.11) mSv. The DRL was 1120 mGy.cm, a value which is higher than the European Guidelines on Quality Criteria for Computed Tomography. The study has shown a great need for referring criteria, continuous training of staff in radiation dose optimization concepts. Further studies are required in ...
