The proposed method deals with the detection of brain tumor in the CT scan brain images. The preprocessing technique applied on the images eliminates the inconsistent data from the CT scan brain images. Then feature extraction process is applied to extract the features from the brain images. A Novel Fuzzy Association Rule Mining (NFARM) applied on the image transaction database which contains t...

BACKGROUND Coma is a frequent presentation of severe malaria in adults and an important cause of death. The role of cerebral swelling in its pathogenesis, and the possible benefit of intravenous mannitol therapy to treat this, is uncertain. METHODS A computed tomographic (CT) scan of the cerebrum and lumbar puncture with measurement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure were performed on admi...

Cranial computed tomography (CT) plays an important role in the diagnosis of AIDS. However, our understanding of the CT scan images on the diagnosis or evaluating treatment results has not yet been completed. In this study, we conducted an investigation on the usefulness of cranial CT examination in diagnosing HIV patients. Among them, 34 AIDS patients tested positive for brain lesions indicate...

CT scan imaging has been popularly applied for the diagnosis of brain tumor and brain cyst. CT scan image alleviate the difficulties of physicians in order to visualize affected regions. However sometime it is difficult to visualize very minute regions of tumors and cysts and differentiate between them and sometime they are wrongly predicted due to very minute appearance in the CT scan image es...

 Carcinosarcoma is a rare type of cancer that is composed of a mixture of sarcomatous and carcinomatous elements. Pulmonary carcinosarcoma has a 25% five-year survival rate with a prognosis poorer than other non-small cell lung carcinomas. Herein, we report a case of pulmonary carcinosarcoma and its 18F-FDG PET/CT findings. A 61-year-old male patient presented with brain symptoms, including hea...

This is report A 14 months old boy, admitted because ahd fever, irritability, anorexics had right side hemiplegia for two months. Positive finding was tuberculin test and CT brain scan with 2 hyperdenc mass (Ring Shaped) in the posto-m...

  Abstract: Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasm (GTN) is among rare human tumors which can be observed with widespread metastasis. Two young patients with emergent neurologic symptoms with no gynecological problems are presented in this report. GTN was later diagnosed in both cases with brain metastasis. The first case: A 22 years old patient, admitted to the infectious disease ward, with probab...

Brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells, reproducing themselves in an uncontrolled manner. In medical image processing the data is too much for manual interpretation and analysis, thus the accurate detection of location and size plays a very important role in diagnosis of brain tumor. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT scan) are the most widely used techniques for d...
