Contrast enhancement of soft tissues in Computed Tomography images
Even though soft tissues are of primary interest to radiologists, they are represented using only 12.5% of the total number of gray levels in a typical DICOM format of a Computed Tomography (CT) scan. This poor distribution of gray levels reduces the overall contrast and the texture differences between individual organs, and poses a serious visualization problem since radiologists need clear vi...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Assessment of Accessory Mental Foramen by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
Introduction: Any foramen in the buccal surface of mandibular body that transfers mental nerve and vessels except mental foramen, is called Accessory Mental Foramen (AMF). The objective of this study was the determination of the AMF using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: this descriptive study was done on 180 CBCT projections which were selected by convenience samp...
متن کاملStrategy of computed tomography image optimization in cervical vertebra and neck soft tissue in emergency patients
Introduction: Due to the use of ionizing radiation in the CT scan, optimal parameters should be used to reduce the risk of cancer in patients who are constantly exposed to X-rays. The aim of this study was to optimize the parameters used in CT scan of cervical vertebrae and neck soft tissue with minimal loss of image quality Materials and Methods: In this s...
متن کاملAssessment of Pentalogy of Cantrell using 3D Multidetector Computed Tomography
A 7-month-old white female with Pentalogy of Cantrell was imaged using 64 slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) with 3D mapping to better determine the extent of cardiac, thoracic, and abdominal malformations. Complimentary to ultrasound, the use of 3D 64 slice MDCT can facilitate effective diagnosis and treatment planning in cases of Pentalogy of Cantrell.
