True three-dimensional proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging was performed on an 84-year-old man following a recent cerebral embolic infarction. NMR data obtained using different pulse sequences were inter-correlated, stressing the significance of image appearance in terms of the NMR tissue parameters. Planes selected for display from the three-dimensional data set allowed optimal vis...

Nonenhanced computerized tomography (CT) exams were used to detect acute stroke by notification of hypodense area. Infarction perception improvement by data denoising and local contrast enhancement in multi-scale domain was proposed. The wavelet-based image processing method enhanced the subtlest signs of hypodensity, which were often invisible in standard CT scan review. Thus improved detectio...

This paper presents a method for volumetric reconstruction from Helical Computerized Tomography (H-CT) data which are collected with a fan beam source. An interpretation of the HCT data in terms of the Axial Computerized Tomography (ACT) data is provided. This analysis indicates that the H-CT data for positive and negative detector angles can be combined to form periodically nonuniform hexagona...

In this series a pictorial quiz pertaining to identification of normal anatomical structures and landmarks at a given level on the computed tomography (CT) is presented. An image depicting normal anatomy is followed by a series of images showing different pathologies. Readers are expected to identify and appreciate variation and changes in the normal anatomy in presence of a given pathology. Th...
