abstract   background: tibial torsion is one of the torsion density which rotating in the longitudes axis of the leg. to measure this deformity, different methods such as radiographic or clinical methods were presented and introduced. methods: in this quasi-experimental study, 30 male athletes were selected randomly. their tibial torsion angle was measured using ct scan, lavand, lokomso, foot p...

Objective(s): In clinical practice, approximately 10-25% of post-surgical differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients with high serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and negative 131I whole-body scan (WBS) have poor prognosis due to recurrent or metastatic lesions after radioactive iodine treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT scan in DTC patients with high seru...

This paper presents a method for segmenting bone in magnetic resonance images. The starting point is the formulation of a Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) snake extended to include statistical shape information. This method exploits the diffusion process used by the GVF snake and improves its capacity to deal with occlusion problems by adding a shape term to the traditional scheme. A dataset of coron...

introduction: endoscopy is an invasive procedure and finding noninvasive alternative tools in detection of probable upper gastrointestinal (gi) tract injuries following caustic ingestion is an area of interest. the present study aimed to evaluate the screening performance characteristics of thoraco-abdominal computed tomography (ct) scan in this regard. methods: this prospective cross sectional...

FDG PET CT scan is considered to be a sensitive tool to detect skeletal metastasis in known malignancies. However, it’s high sensitivity and low specificity may account for false positive diagnosis in cases of trauma, infection, inflammation and other benign conditions. Skeletal hemangioma is one of the common benign conditions which are typically ametabolic on FDG PET CT with no uptake on bone...
