CT Enterography Using Four Different Endoluminal Contrast Agents: A Comparative Study

A Comparative Study in Bone Decalcification Using Different Decalcifying Agents

Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of different decalcifying agent used to decalcify bone. Bone is the strongest part in the human. Two types of bones are seen cancellous bone and compact bone. Demonstration of bone is quite difficult than any other tissues. To obtain satisfactory paraffin or celloidin of bone inorganic calcium must be removed from the organic collagen matrix...

Denoising CT Enterography on GPU

CT enterography is a method of contrast enhanced diagnosis of small intestine from computed tomography examination. However, unlike the bones or other significant structures, automatic or semiautomatic examination of small intestine is almost impossible without the proper use of a denoising algorithm. We cannot wait for hours for a simple denoising algorithm in medical praxis, but current GPUs ...

CT Enterography in Crohn disease

Performance comparison of four commercial GE discovery PET/CT scanners: A monte carlo study using GATE

  Combined PET/CT scanners now play a major role in medicine for in vivo imaging in oncology, cardiology, neurology, and psychiatry. As the performance of a scanner depends not only on the scintillating material but also on the scanner design, with regards to the advent of newer scanners, there is a need to optimize acquisition protocols as well as to compare scanner ...

In vivo small animal micro-CT using nanoparticle contrast agents

Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most valuable modalities for in vivo imaging because it is fast, high-resolution, cost-effective, and non-invasive. Moreover, CT is heavily used not only in the clinic (for both diagnostics and treatment planning) but also in preclinical research as micro-CT. Although CT is inherently effective for lung and bone imaging, soft tissue imaging requires the us...
