An Attempt of Temporal Image Subtraction Technique on Bone Scintigraphy

3D temporal subtraction on chest MDCT images using nonlinear image registration technique

[A simple method for generating temporal subtraction image in bone SPECT-initial evaluation in pelvic region-].

We proposed and optimized a simple method of temporal subtraction image between successive bone single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images for supporting interpretation of temporal changes, and we evaluated its clinical utility. This method consisted of image registration, count normalization, and image subtraction. For image registration, we used a BEAT-Tl software. For count no...

Automatic registration of temporal image pairs for digital subtraction angiography

Temporal Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) is used to visualize blood vessels in x-ray images. A DSA image pair consists of the mask image, which is a digitized x-ray taken before a contrast medium is injected into the bloodstream, and the live image, which is taken once the contrast medium has traversed the circulatory system and reached the blood vessels of interest. The mask image is the...

A Gastrointestinal Bleed Detected On Subtraction Scintigraphy: A Case Study

This article reports an interesting case of lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage (LGIH) detected using subtraction imaging on Tc RBC scintigraphy.

Tuberculous osteomyelitis diagnosed following an incidental finding on bone scintigraphy.

1 of 2 DESCRIPTION A 47-year-old Sri Lankan man was diagnosed with diabetic neuropathic ulceration of the left hallux. Technetium-99m scintigraphy showed increased uptake corresponding to the ulcer. However an incidental fi nding of increased uptake was also noted in the right distal tibia ( fi gure 1 ). The patient had no localising symptoms on the right. His medical history was signifi cant f...
