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...

We demonstrate a new analytical X-ray computed tomography technique for visualizing and quantifying the mass density of materials comprised of low atomic number elements with unknown atomic ratios. The mass density was obtained from the experimentally observed ratio of the imaginary and real parts of the complex X-ray refractive index. An empirical linear relationship between the X-ray mass att...

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...

conclusion attending radiologists could diagnose acute appendicitis accurately on ne-ldct. performance of senior residents on ne-ldct is better than junior residents and comparable to attending radiologists. results diagnostic performances for acute appendicitis were not statistically different for attending radiologists at both examinations. better performance was noted on the ce-sdct with a b...

introduction: knowledge of the presence of the alveolar antral artery in the lateral maxillary sinus wall is essential for surgeons who operate in this region. the purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between alveolar antral artery diameter and lateral maxillary bony wall thickness in dentate patients.   materials and methods: thirty five cone-beam computed tomography (cbct)...

conclusion no significant differences were found among observers or voxel sizes, with high az results reported for all groups. results no significant differences were found among observers or voxel sizes, with high average z (az) results being reported for all groups. both intra- and inter-observer agreement values were relatively better for 3d accuitomo 170 images than the images from newtom 3...

background cone beam computed tomography (ct) has recently become effective for oral and maxillofacial imaging. objectives the aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of dentists regarding cone beam computed tomography. materials and methods in this descriptive cross sectional study, a questionnaire regarding cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) was distributed amongst 100 dentists (gener...
