symptomatic laryngeal chondrometaplasia is rare. to the best of our knowledge, there are only few case reports on laryngeal chondrometaplasia. the imaging appearance of this uncommon disease is even more rarely described. there are only two case reports describing its appearances in computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri). ultrasound (us) features have not been reported so...

background: in this study the basic radiation properties of n-isopropylacrylamaide polymer gel dosimeter were determined together with verification of its soft tissue equivalency. materials and methods: the nipam gel was prepared and irradiated approximately 2 h after manufacturing. the magnetic resonance (mr) images were made 24 h after irradiation. the nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) respons...

purpose t1wi (t1 weighted image) was acquired in order to grade bone fusion following the studies by fifa (federation internationale de football associations). research using images other than t1wi has not been reported. the aim of this study is to evaluate the grade of epiphyseal fusion by t2* weighted images (t2*wi) and to investigate new findings on t2*wi as compared with t1wi. methods a tot...

A method for optimizing MR imaging pulse sequence parameters in a statistical framework is presented. Parameters are defined to be optimal when the resulting scalar images yield optimal image segmentations using Bayesian pixel classification. Thus, Bayes risk is used as the objective function to minimize. Approximations are made to give a tractable solution in a four-step procedure. A sample ca...

ADAPTIVE SPACE-TIME PROCESSING FOR DIGITAL MOBILE RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

introduction: it has been shown that joint click, an initial and common finding in internal derangement (id), respond to neither conservative treatment nor surgical intervention. this raises the question as to whether it must be treated in the absence of other pertinent signs and symptoms, so the aim of this study was to investigate and compare the mri findings of tmj in both normal subjects an...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: to evaluate seizure characteristic among multiple sclerosis patients with coexistent seizure activity compared to control group. materials and methods: this study is a cross-sectional study which was conducted by reviewing the clinical records of patients with definite diagnosis of ms according to mcdonald’s criteria from march 2007 to j...
