Helical computed tomography of the normal thoracic outlet

A reconstruction method for helical computed tomography

This paper presents a method for volumetric reconstruction from Helical Computerized Tomography (H-CT) data which are collected with a fan beam source. An interpretation of the HCT data in terms of the Axial Computerized Tomography (ACT) data is provided. This analysis indicates that the H-CT data for positive and negative detector angles can be combined to form periodically nonuniform hexagona...

thoracic computed tomography findings in malignant mesothelioma

background malignant pleural mesothelioma (mpm) is an uncommon neoplasm. mpm occurs more frequently in patients born or living in certain villages of turkey. objectives we aimed to review radiological findings of mpm. patients and methods we reviewed the ct findings in 219 biopsy-proven mpm patients admitted to our clinic between 1993 and 2008. results the most common ct findings included pleur...

Thoracic outlet syndrome part 2: conservative management of thoracic outlet.

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a symptom complex attributed to compression of the nerves and vessels as they exit the thoracic outlet. Classified into several sub-types, conservative management is generally recommended as the first stage treatment in favor of surgical intervention. In cases where postural deviations contribute substantially to compression of the thoracic outlet, the rehabili...
