Modern management and pathophysiology of ranula: literature review.

BACKGROUND There is a lack of consensus about the appropriate treatment of ranula. The objective of the present investigation was to produce a scientific basis for treatment. METHODS A review of the relevant literature is interpreted in the light of improved knowledge about the local anatomy and the pathophysiology of the salivary glands. RESULTS The oral and plunging ranulas are cystic ext...

Optimization of the prescription isodose line for Gamma Knife radiosurgery using the shot within shot technique

BACKGROUND This work explores how the choice of prescription isodose line (IDL) affects the dose gradient, target coverage, and treatment time for Gamma Knife radiosurgery when a smaller shot is encompassed within a larger shot at the same stereotactic coordinates (shot within shot technique). METHODS Beam profiles for the 4, 8, and 16 mm collimator settings were extracted from the treatment ...

Exemplar based texture recovery technique for active one shot scan

Range scanners based on camera-projector configurations have been attracting the attention of many researchers and computer vision practitioners due to its ability of performing 3D scanning with high accuracy and frame rates. This class of scanners is more effective under dark capturing environments by projecting bright colored patterns on objects. As a consequence, the projected pattern is pro...
