| 1 | Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of The Brain (Review of metabolites and clinical applications) |
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) provides unique information about the neurobiological substrates of brain function in health and disease. This review describes the physical principles and technical methods in current use for MRS experiments. A better understanding of these techniques may help investigators achieve accurate diagnoses. For every case, the image and spectrum are presented and discussed according to classification criteria to demonstrate the effect of MRS in brain diagnosis. |

| 2 | Factors Affecting Prostate Volume for Healthy Yemeni Adults using Ultrasound in Sana’a City | This research describes the factors affecting prostatic volume and assesses the average volume for healthy Yemeni adults. Conducted at UST Hospital and UST Medical Complex between February and April 2018, the study involved 97 asymptomatic patients. Using transabdominal ultrasound scanning, researchers obtained maximum height, width, and depth to determine the normal curve increment of prostatic volume relative to age and other factors. |
|
| 3 | Evaluation of Lumbar Intervertebral Disk Disorders and Associated Risk Factors among Yemeni Patients Using MRI | This prospective cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate lumbar intervertebral disk height and length in patients with disk herniation and degeneration. Conducted in Sana’a between December 2023 and February 2024, the study included 300 patients. It assessed the association between disk disorders and risk factors such as age, BMI, gender, lifestyle, occupation, and smoking habits. |
|
| 4 | Errors in Chest X-ray Examinations in Radiology Departments | Chest examinations are among the most common procedures in radiology, providing vital data on the heart, lungs, and airways. This study analyzed 1,000 chest radiographs to identify common error types, including positioning, technical faults, and communication issues. The goal is to improve the quality of radiographs to assist clinicians in more accurate disease management. |
