Background: The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the effects bruxism on mandibular bone using radiomorphometric indices and Hounsfield unit (HU) value digital panoramic radiography (DPR). Materials Methods: Panoramic radiographs 120 patients, 60 with bruxer without (control), were analyzed. Mental index (MI), (PMI), antegonial (AI), gonial (GI), notch depth (AND) cortical (MCI) me...

Dual energy CT is a recent upgrade to this diagnostic imaging technique. The purpose of critical narrative review lay out the clinical applications Hounsfield Units and their variation across x-ray spectrum using DECT. We explore new reconstruction methods parametric maps helpful for diagnosis prevalent pathologies such as fatty liver disease, urolithiasis, identify complications after interven...

Heterogeneity is a key feature of stone density as Hounsfield Unit (HU) on computer tomography (CT) for extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) outcomes predicting in urinary calculi patients. The goal this study to develop the modified 2D and 3D automate heterogeneity index variation coefficient estimation program predict ESWL treatment. For 2D, proposed was selected largest slice whole i...

Preclinical micro-computed tomography (microCT) images are of utility for 3D morphological bone evaluation, which is of great interest in cancer detection and treatment development. This work introduces a compression strategy for microCTs that allocates specific substances in different Volumes of Interest (VoIs). The allocation procedure is conducted by the Hounsfield scale. The VoIs are coded ...

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of CT scans performed, both in the US and the UK, which has fuelled concern about the long-term consequences of these exposures, particularly in terms of cancer induction. Statistics from the US and the UK indicate a 20-fold and 12-fold increase, respectively, in CT usage over the past two decades, with per caput CT usage in the US ...

We report findings for a patient that underwent endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) for diagnostic purposes after an abnormal chest CT. The patient initially presented with cough and shortness of breath. Chest CT revealed a 6 cm soft tissue mass with mildly enlarged right hilar lymph nodes (LNs) and a small right sided pleural effusion. Based on these ...
