abstract necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis (nsg) is a rare disease which is classified in the spectrum of pulmonary angiitis and granulomatosis. it is a variant of sarcoidosis and differs from it histologically. diagnosis is based on the pathological features, but radiology may help in the differential diagnosis. it is characterized by alveolar infiltrates or parenchymal nodules in multidetect...

Abstract The structure of five rare filigree spheres from a seventeenth century shipwreck was examined in order to unravel their condition, manufacturing process and function. This study focuses on the application non-invasive imaging techniques: optical microscopy, X-radiography, X-ray micro-computed tomography neutron computed tomography. A valuation different aspects applied techniques made,...

background and objective: computerized tomography and fluoroscopic computerized tomography are amongst the methods used for guiding needle biopsy processes; however, fluoroscopic computerized tomography demonstrates the images during the process of biopsy. this study aims to compare and contrast the success of biopsy under guide of computerized tomography and fluoroscopic computerized tomograph...

the purpose of this study was to identify the anatomic structures of the abdominal region of cat throughcomputed tomography (ct) to be used by veterinary radiologists, clinicians and surgeons. the abdominalregion of four cats were scanned twice, with and without using contrast medium in a same position, usinghigh-resolution imaging protocol. slice intervals were 11 mm and were adjusted so that ...

conclusion according to our findings, ct-guided percutaneous drainage is a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of abdominal abscess and fluid collection. results the average age of the patients was 54 years (range 12 to 79), including 21 (51%) men and 20 (49%) women. the common signs and symptoms were pain (83%) and fever (80.5%). the most prevalent abdominal abscess etiology was prev...

introduction: computed tomography (ct) is an imaging technique with gives us an opportunity to review cross sections of the body in live animals. in veterinary medicine although ct is mostly used for diagnostic purposes in small animals, but in recent years ct also has been used as a non invasive modality in non clinical studies. jebeer gazelle (gazella bennettii) is one of the species of the g...

background: methanol is a colorless and poisonous liquid that is commonly used as an industrial and household solvent. methanol poisoning is a rare but extremely hazardous form of in toxication that affects the central nervous system and causes visual disorder, drowsiness, seizures and coma.  case presentation: a 29-years-old man with methanol intoxication presented with drowsiness and acidosis...

Odontomas are the most common benign tumors of odontogenic origin. They are normally diagnosed on routine radiographs, due to the absence of symptoms. Histopathologic evaluation confirms the diagnosis especially in cases of complex odontoma, which may be confused during radiographic examination with an osteoma or other highly calcified bone lesions. The micro-CT is a new technology that enables...

This mage based series comprises of a quiz pertaining to the identification of salient anatomical structures expected to be seen at a given level on the computed tomography (CT) followed by examples of multiple representative pathologies that can be seen at the same level in a routine clinical setting. It is expected that this will improve confidence of nuclear physicians in interpretation of t...

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is an emerging technique for the nondestructive assessment and analysis of the three-dimensional trabecular bone structure. Trabecular bone consists of a complicated three-dimensional network of plates and rods, arranged in a lattice-like network [1]. Aging, disease process, and therapeutic agents could influence the number of elements in this network, their...
