Assessment of EIT/CT Fusion Imaging using a Biological Phantom

A cylindrical slice of seeded winter melon with an air-cavity was imaged using CT and EIT imaging systems. The structural regions were extracted from the CT image using morphological image processing algorithms and fused with the functional information of its EIT image. Fusion performance showed a detectability increase of 67% along with a structural similarity increase of 26%.

Neuroblastoma tumour genetics: clinical and biological aspects.

Neuroblastoma tumour cells show complex combinations of acquired genetic aberrations, including ploidy changes, deletions of chromosome arms 1p and 11q, amplification of the MYCN oncogene, and-most frequently-gains of chromosome arm 17q. Despite intensive investigation, the fundamental role of these features in neuroblastoma initiation and progression remains to be understood. Nonetheless, grea...
