The radiographic image is the bidimensional projection of a tridimensional volume. Interpretation of such an image is sometimes uneasy as we cannot determine ot which level the shadows are located. To dissociate the superimposed shadows, the radiologist may rely on different techniques including fluoroscopy, profile view, radiosteoroscopy, conventional tomography, transverse axial tomography or...

OBJECTIVES To report a case of a primary carcinoma arising in a vesical diverticulum. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 59-year-old male patient presented with painless macrohematuria. A primary carcinoma arising in a vesical diverticulum was detected with cystoscopy and confirmed with rectal endosonography and computer tomography. and radical cystoprostatovesiculectomy with ileal cond...

We describe comprehensive analysis tools for human joints, such as knees, hips, and hands. The tools construct solid models of the bone geometry from computer tomography images, analyze the contacts between pairs of interacting bones, simulate the rigid body dynamics of the joint, compute the bone stresses, and visualize the results with 3D, interactive graphics. The user provides the computer ...

Three-dimensional ultrasound computer tomography is a new imaging method for early breast cancer diagnosis. It promises reproducible images of the female breast in a high quality. However, it requires a time-consuming image reconstruction, which is currently executed on one PC. Parallel processing in reconfigurable hardware could accelerate signal and image processing. This paper evaluates the ...

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...

Background Fever of unknown origin (FUO) and unexplained signs of inflammation are challenging medical problems and predominantly caused by infections, malignancies and noninfectious inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDGPET) and of its combination with computer tomography technology...
