In this series we present a quiz about identification of salient and important anatomical landmarks present at a given level on the computed tomography (CT) image. The representative image is followed by further images showing examples of various commonly encountered pathologies that can be seen at this level in clinical practice. Readers are expected to identify highlighted structures in all t...

This series comprises of a quiz pertaining to the identification of salient and important anatomical structures and landmarks expected to be seen at a given level on the computed tomography (CT) image. The representativeimage is followed by a series of images showing examples of different commonly encountered pathological entities that can be seen at this level in a routine clinical practice. R...

Introduction: This paper analyses the ability of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) for neural imaging. The current trend in the production of SPADs moves toward the minimumdark count rate (DCR) and maximum photon detection probability (PDP). Moreover, the jitter response which is the main measurement characteristic for the timing uncertainty is progressing. Methods: The neural imaging pro...

OBJECTIVES The proper nodal staging of non-small cell lung cancer is important for choosing the best treatment modality. Although computed tomography remains the first-line imaging test for the primary staging of lung cancer, its limitations for mediastinum nodal staging are well known. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of hybrid single-photon emission computed tomography and co...

BACKGROUND Patients with coronary artery disease can accumulate significant radiation dose through repeated exposures to coronary computed tomographic angiography, myocardial perfusion imaging with single photon emission computed tomography or positron emission tomography, and to invasive coronary angiography. Aim of the study was to audit radiation doses of coronary computed tomographic angiog...

we report a three-phase bone scintigraphy for the diagnosis of a peripheral bone lesion caused by systemic sarcoidosis. a 32-year-old man with suspected osteomyelitis of the right forefinger underwent three-phase bone scintigraphy with tc-99m hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (hmdp) and single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (spect/ct). the lesion was rich in blood flow acc...

abstractneuroimaging allows noninvasive evaluation of the anatomy, physiology, and function of the brain. it is widely used for diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment evaluation of neurological disorders as well as understanding functions of the brain in health and disease. neuroimaging modalities include x-ray computed tomography (ct), magnetic resonance imaging (mri), single photon emis...
