Computed tomography scanning can monitor the effects of soil medium on root system development: an example of salt stress in corn
Seeds and young seedlings often encounter high soluble salt levels in the upmost soil layers, impeding vigorous growth by affecting root establishment. Computed tomography (CT) scanning used at low X-ray doses can help study root development in such conditions non-destructively, because plants are allowed to grow throughout the experiment. Using a high-resolution Toshiba XVision CT scanner, we ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional images by helical CT scan with intra-arterial injection of diluted contrast medium.
Eighty-seven patients with primary or metastatic brain tumors who were admitted to the National Cancer Center Hospital since April 1996, underwent a helical CT scan during cerebral angiography using the IVR-CT system (Toshiba Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan), which comprised a digital subtraction angiography system (KXO-80C/DFP-2000A) and a helical CT scanner (X-Vision, Toshiba Medical Systems, T...
متن کاملFrequent diagnostic errors in cardiac PET/CT due to misregistration of CT attenuation and emission PET images: a definitive analysis of causes, consequences, and corrections.
UNLABELLED Cardiac PET combined with CT is rapidly expanding despite artifactual defects and false-positive results due to misregistration of PET and CT attenuation correction data-the frequency, cause, and correction of which remain undetermined. METHODS Two hundred fifty-nine consecutive patients underwent diagnostic rest-dipyridamole myocardial perfusion PET/CT using (82)Rb, a 16-slice PET...
متن کاملNon-destructive quantification of cereal roots in soil using high-resolution X-ray tomography.
One key constraint to further understanding plant root development is the inability to observe root growth in situ due to the opaque nature of soil. Of the present non-destructive techniques, computed tomography (CT) is best able to capture the complexities of the edaphic environment. This study compared the accuracy and impact of X-ray CT measurement of in situ root systems with standard techn...
متن کاملSubtraction CT angiography with controlled-orbit helical scanning for detection of intracranial aneurysms.
PURPOSE Our goal was to evaluate the utility of subtraction three-dimensional CT angiography for the detection of intracranial aneurysms. METHODS Thirty-six patients with intracranial aneurysms were examined using newly devised controlled-orbit helical scanning and conventional angiography. Three-dimensional CT angiograms and subtraction 3-D CT angiograms were compared with conventional angio...
