Introduction: Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is a common hematologic malignancy accounting for 4% all cancers in United States. It is estimated that nearly 70,000 patients will be diagnosed with NHL in 2013, and 19,000 will die from this disease. 18-F FDG PET combined with anatomic CT imaging has been shown to be superior to contrast enhanced CT examination in staging of lymphoma. Thus PET/CT is ro...

Photoclinometry was used to analyze the small-scale roughness of areas that fall within the proposed Mars Exploration Rover (MER) 2003 landing ellipses. The landing ellipses presented in this study were those in Athabasca Valles, Elysium Planitia, Eos Chasma, Gusev Crater, Isidis Planitia, Melas Chasma, and Meridiani Planum. We were able to constrain surface slopes on length scales comparable t...

BACKGROUND To adequately perform rehabilitation of edentulous patients by a complete removable dental prosthesis (CRDP) is from basic interest to dentists to understand the morphologic changes caused by re-establishment of a physiologic jaw relationship. Anthropometric analyses of standardized frontal view and profile photographs may help elucidate such changes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Photograp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Gray matter heterotopia have been divided into three groups based on clinical and imaging characteristics: subependymal, subcortical, and band heterotopia. Nonetheless, subcortical heterotopia can have variable morphologic findings. The purpose of this study was to perform a morphologic analysis of a series of cases of subcortical heterotopia based on MR images, to correl...

The assessment of dermal alterations is necessary to monitor skin aging, cancer, and other diseases alterations. gold standard morphologic diagnostics still histopathology. Here, we proposed parameters distinguish morphologically different collagen I structures in the extracellular matrix characterize varying with similar SAAID (SHG-to-AF Aging Index Dermis, SHG—second-harmonic generation; AF—a...

The World Health Organization (WHO) classification of hematopoietic neoplasms, published in 2001, included the new category of “Myelodysplastic/ Myeloproliferative Diseases,” intended to accommodate those myeloid neoplasms that simultaneously showed features of chronic myeloproliferative disorders and myelodysplastic syndromes. Typically, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are clonal neoplastic di...

Morphologic changes in cortex and white matter of the cerebral frontal lobes in vascular dementia were studied. The signs of leykoaraiosis in white matter were revealed. Obvious signs of neurodegeneration expressed in loss of neurons, which is considered to be the attribute of aging process and may be one of significant etiologic factors of vascular dementia, had not been identified.

The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of breast lesions was first described in the 1970s; however, its wide application in clinical routine is relatively recent. The basic principles for diagnosis of a breast lesion rely on the evaluation of signal intensity in T2-weighted sequences, on morphologic assessment and on the evaluation of contrast enhancement behaviour. The ...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) surveillance of patients with mucinous pancreatic cysts relies on the assessment of morphologic features suggestive of malignant transformation. These criteria were derived from the evaluation of surgical pathology in patients with pancreatic cysts who underwent surgery. Reliability of these criteria when evaluated by EUS in identifying lesi...
