Registration of Nasopharyngoscopic Video with Treatment Planning Ct Scans
Purpose: We present a method that allows one to generate data from nasopharyngoscopy videos into a form suitable for use in radiation treatment planning, as well as for review of the data itself as a 3D object. Methods and Materials: The accurate transfer of data from endoscopic video frames to the planning CT requires an explicit endoscopic video/CT registration. Our approach to accomplishing ...

متن کاملA novel dual energy CT-based attenuation correction method in PET/CT systems: A phantom study
In present PET/CT scanners, PET attenuation correction is performed by relying on the information given by CT scan. In the CT-based attenuation correction methods, dual-energy technique (DECT) is the most accurate approach, which has been limited due to the increasing patient dose. In this feasibility study, we have introduced a new method that can implement dual-en...
متن کاملTreatment of Alzheimer Disease With CT Scans
Alzheimer disease (AD) primarily affects older adults. This neurodegenerative disorder is the most common cause of dementia and is a leading source of their morbidity and mortality. Patient care costs in the United States are about 200 billion dollars and will more than double by 2040. This case report describes the remarkable improvement in a patient with advanced AD in hospice who received 5 ...
متن کاملDual-Energy CT in Neuroimaging
Image contrast in CT is mostly dependent on elements with high atomic weight, such as calcium, iron, and iodine The concentrations of these elements can be calculated from dual-energy x-ray data based on their characteristic attenuation patterns Dual-energy CT may can be helpful in neuroimaging to: Differentiate between hemorrhage and iodinated contrast agents in brain parenchyma Improve CT ang...
