PURPOSE To determine the variation in target delineation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the impact of measures to minimize this variation. MATERIALS AND METHODS For ten nasopharyngeal cancer patients, ten observers each delineated the Clinical Target Volume (CTV) and the CTV elective. After 3D analysis of the delineated volumes, a second delineation was performed. This implied improved delin...

OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to determine sinus measurements specific for the Turkish population using CT sagittal thin-slice reconstruction images and to clarify the three-dimensional anatomical features of the sphenoid sinus, along with its surrounding structures, that are relevant to performing an endoscopic sphenoidotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Images of 300 patients (165 fe...

Nuclear area and orientation in the subventricular and intermediate zones was studied quantitatively in coronal vs. sagittal sections of the dorsomedial neocortex. Nissl-stained methacrylate-embedded normal rat embryos were studied between embryonic days (E) 13 and E22. The area of nuclear profiles and the degrees their long axes (defined as a straight line through the two most distant points i...
