Administration of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) for the intracranial hemorrhage in two dogs: a case report
Two dogs with generalized seizures were evaluated. The dogs were diagnosed with traumatic intracranial hemorrhages based on the history, neurological examinations, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Treatment was started with oxygen, prednisolone and anticonvulsant agents. No further seizure activity was observed after treatment in both dogs, however cushing reflex was detected ...
متن کاملClinical application of three-dimensional ultrasound in fetal brain assessment.
AIM To clarify the usefulness of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound in the assessment of the fetal head and brain, according to 3D ultrasound surface reconstruction, multiplanar image analysis, three-dimensional angiography, and volume calculation. METHODS We examined 326 normal fetuses between 10 and 40 weeks of gestation using 3D ultrasound (Voluson, 530D, Medison, Seoul, Korea), mainly with...
متن کاملUse of intracardiac echocardiography to guide ablation of atrial fibrillation.
Intracardiac Echocardiography Ultrasound technology has progressed rapidly over the past several years, leading to significant miniaturization of transducer design. The original catheter-based transducers, known as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters, are high frequency (20 to 40 MHz) and are used to image the walls of coronary arteries and other small vessels. They contain a single ultra...

متن کاملFabrication, Packaging, and Catheter Assembly of 2d Cmut Arrays for Endoscopic Ultrasound and Cardiac Imaging
Ultrasound is increasingly in demand as a medical imaging tool and can be particularly beneficial in the field of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). However, many challenges remain in the development of a 3D ultrasound imaging system. We have designed and fabricated a quad-ring capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducer (CMUT) for real-time, volumetric medical imaging. Each CMUT array is ...
