contrast. Window settings were adjusted to highlight soft tissue or bone, wherever appropriate. Shortcomings of the Atlas are few. There are too few magnifications of small anatomy in the text. Only normal anatomy is depicted, and no pathologic examples are included. No proton density MRIs are included among the scan; however, these omissions make the volume a better one, a shorter one, a more ...

Given the fast development and increasing clinical relevance of ultrasound guidance for thoracic paravertebral blockade, this review article strives (1) to provide comprehensive information on thoracic paravertebral space anatomy, tailored to the needs of a regional anesthesia practitioner, (2) to interpret ultrasound images of the thoracic paravertebral space using cross-sectional anatomical i...

This paper presents an interactive web-based cross-sectional anatomy navigation system based on the high-resolution Chinese Visible Human (CVH) dataset. Compared with previous web-based anatomy learning systems, the proposed system has three new features. First, we exploit recently released WebGL API, which supports direct access to the Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) from the browser, to achie...

BACKGROUND The ability to explore the anatomy has improved our appreciation of the brachial anatomy and the quality of regional anesthesia. Using real-time ultrasonography, we investigated the cross-sectional anatomy of the brachial plexus and of vessels at the axillary fossa in Koreans. METHODS One hundred and thirty-one patients scheduled to undergo surgery in the region below the elbow wer...

Advances in surgical techniques are extremely demanding regarding the accuracy and level of detail expected for display of the vascular anatomy of the liver. Precise knowledge of the arterial, portal and hepatic vein territories are mandatory whenever a liver intervention is planned. Sectional anatomy can now be routinely performed on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) with volumetric dat...

heart failure (hf) is a common disease with high health care costs and high mortality rate knowledge of the health-related quality of life (qol) outcomes of hf may guide decision making and be useful in assessing new therapies for population. yet little is known about qol of hf patients in iran. objectives: to assess health related qol of patients with hf with two different instrument and to co...

Cross-sectional imaging is an indispensable tool in the investigation of parapharyngeal space and infratemporal fossa pathologies. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging exquisitely display the complex anatomy of this region and provides accurate spatial localization of pathology, differential diagnosis and vital information for treatment planning.
