Placental Volume Measurement in Clinical Practice

Placental volume

The relationship between placental size and pathology and risk of stillbirth is well recognised. Placental volume may predict birthweight and by association, outcome of pregnancy. The size of the placenta can be determined by two-dimensional sonography and volumetric mathematic modelling [1] and placental volume could be calculated at each ultrasound scan. We have developed a mathematical solut...

Volume Visualization in the Clinical Practice

Volumetric data is common in medicine, geology and engineering, but the O(n) complexity in data and algorithms has prevented the widespread use of volume graphics. Recently, 3D image processing and visualization algorithms have been parallelized and ported to graphics processing units. Today, medical diagnostics highly depends on volumetric imaging methods that must be visualized in real-time. ...

Frequency of Errors in Clinical Laboratory Practice

  Background and Objective: Laboratory errors are one of the major factors that affect the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and monitoring in patients.The objective of study is to evaluate the frequency and type of errors in different phases of testing at the Pathology Department of the Shalamar Hospital, Lahore and to evaluate the causes of errors. Methods: This observational study was carrie...

Temperature control and volume measurement in clinical analysers

Temperature control and volume measurement are two instrumental factors that, at different stages of the analytical cycle (both in manual and automatic work), have a significant impact on the quality (accuracy and precision) of the analytical result. This paper reports work carried out by two committees which prepared guidelines on the definition and control of these two instrumental factors of...
