Optic foraminal radiography--a redundant investigation?
A retrospective study of all plain radiographs taken of optic foramina during the six years 1984-9 inclusive, comprising a total of 318 examinations, was carried out in order to determine the role of this investigation in patients with ophthalmic disorders. All but one of the radiographs were reported as showing no abnormality. However, for this exception, review of the radiographs showed that ...
متن کاملPreliminary investigation of a multiple-image radiography method
Conventional radiography seeks to produce, at each location in the image plane, a measure of the x-ray absorption of the object. In this paper, we present a method of determining a much more complete object description at each point, namely the intensity distribution (as a function of angle) of the emerging x-ray beam. From this distribution one can compute many different images, depicting the ...
متن کاملA rare cause of neural foraminal widening.
The differential diagnosis for lesions causing neural foraminal widening is vast. The majority are solitary benign peripheral nerve sheath tumours, such as neurofibromas or schwannomas. We present a case of a rare cause of neural foraminal expansion secondary to a posterior thoracic extradural angiolipoma. We describe the presence of chemical shift artefact on post gadolinium T1-weighted imagin...
متن کاملNovel Foraminal Expansion Technique
The technique we describe was developed for cervical foraminal stenosis for cases in which a keyhole foraminotomy would not be effective. Many cervical stenosis cases are so severe that keyhole foraminotomy is not successful. However, the technique outlined in this study provides adequate enlargement of an entire cervical foraminal diameter. This study reports on a novel foraminal expansion tec...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Acousto-Optic Communications
Covert communications between underwater and aerial platforms would increase the flexibility of surface and air vehicles engaged in undersea warfare by providing a new netcentric warfare communication capability and could have a variety of commercial and oceanographic applications. Research into an acousto-optic sensor shows promise as a means for detecting acoustic data projected towards the w...
