The CAT Scan

The CAT Scan

Elderly persons, i.e., those >65 years of age, were affected most by C. diffi cile infections; this age group accounted for 1,506 (65%) of all cases (n = 2,306) in 2006. The 45to 64-year age group had the next highest number of cases, 451 (20%). Men and women were affected equally in the different age groups; slightly more women (n = 805) than men (n = 701) with C. diffi cile infection were >65...

Cat CAT - Scan : Postmortem Imaging and autopsy of two cats

A man killed his wife and their shared household cats before killing himself. The combination of the killing (suicide or homicide) of a family member and the pet is seen on occasions in forensic pathology. The purpose of this case report is to provide a comparison of the killing methods of animals, ill pets and of household animals, also in extended suicides or homicides given the initially out...

Seismic CAT-Scan of an Ancient Earthquake

Two-dimensional and three-dimensional seismic surveys were conducted across the Oquirrh fault, Utah with the purpose of imaging the fault structure to a depth of about 15 m. Results show that the 3-D tomogram clearly delineates the fault zone and a colluvial wedge, both of which correlate extremely well with the geologic cross-section interpreted from an adjacent trench. The thickness of the co...

Assessment of Spatial Resolution Effects in Mr-cat Scan

INTRODUCTION: Recently a modular concept for MR hybrid imaging, CAT (Combined Acquisition Technique) was presented (l-3). The CAT concept essentially integrates different imaging modules wherein the echo generation mechanisms and the echo contrast characteristics of the different applied imaging modules can be quite distinct. This feature is rather unusual, since one might first imagine that th...
