OBJECTIVE To retrospectively evaluate the role of the various imaging techniques in the study of the sternocostoclavicular joint, in patients with spondyloarthropathies and other rheumatic conditions and to assess potential pitfalls in the radiological diagnosis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thirty patients, 11 male and 19 female, mean age 45 years, with involvement of the sternocostoclavicular joint...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a recent addition to the imaging techniques available to the neonatologist evaluating disease in the newborn. Reports of this new modality are at present few and the role for NMR imaging (NMRI) is not yet clear but we have encouraging indications of the direction that further research may pursue. The aim of this review article is to consider the potential adv...

in this paper, a ground early warning receiver is introduced and explained for the reception and monitoring of signal from a space-borne synthetic aperture radar. this receiver can be used for various electronic warfare applications and implemented in two sectors of time parameter detector and frequency parameter detector. it can measure power, bandwidth, central frequency, pulse width, pulse r...

  Introduction: [64Cu]diacetyl-bis(N4-methylthiosemicarbazone) ([64Cu]ATSM) is a well-established hypoxia imaging tracer with reproducible production and significant specifity. In this work the high yield production and quality control as well as imaging studies in healthy rabbits is reported. Methods: Copper-64 produced ...

Dogs presented to the Small Animal Hospital of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tehran were included in the present study if spinal or intervertebral disc involvement was suspected. Clinical signs were recorded as well as general information of the patient such as age, breed and sex. Sixty dogs were examined radiographically and two standard orthogonal lateral and ventrodorsal projections wer...

Introduction: Staff and patient Movement in static magnetic field MRI scanner induces current density in the human tissues, so cause biologic effects in people. The aim of this study was the Modelling of current density induced by moving individual with different velocities in static magnetic field of magnetic resonance imaging. Materials and Methods: current ...

conclusions thi visualizes appendix better than conventional us. it is a simple and time saving method that may eliminate further diagnostic imaging, and it may decrease negative appendectomy rates and related complications. patients and methods the study was performed on 185 patients who applied for routine us examinations in whom clinical findings of appendicitis were detected in 25. we searc...

BACKGROUND Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) has been proven to be superior to T2*-weighted imaging and also other existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for the detection of iron content and hemorrhage in the brain. The purpose of this study was to compare SWI with T1WI, T2WI and T2*WI in detecting splenic siderotic lesions. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Twenty-two patient...
