Pseudo-CT Generation from Magnetic Resonance Imaging by fuzzy look up table algorithm
Introduction: Despite growing interest in the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the external radiotherapy design process (RT), Computer Tomography (CT) remains a gold standard and is regarded as a basic imaging modality in radiotherapy. MRI shows the high contrast in soft tissues without any radiation exposure to patients. As a result, MRI is used in functional tissue ...
متن کاملSystemic Effects of Experimental Spinal Cord Injury on Bone Healing in Rabbit
Bone loss after spinal cord injury leads to increased fragility of bone and subsequent risk for low-trauma fractures in the sublesional parts of the body. Although in such injuries upper limbs are normally innervated, bone loss may occur in the upper extremities. The present study was designed to determine the systemic effects of spinal cord injury on the fracture healing of upper limbs in rabb...

Background and Aims: Bromelain is a substance derived from pineapple and has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects. This study aimed to investigate the effect of bromelain on the healing of tooth extraction sockets in an animal model. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was performed on 24 male rats. After anesthesia, the first maxillary molar tooth was extracted wit...
متن کاملThe Healing Effect of Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Case Report
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent chronic disease impacting on quality of life and has societal and economical burden increasing with age. Yet, no confirmed pharmacological, biological or surgical therapy could prevent the progressive destruction of OA joint. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with immunosuppressive activities emerged a potential therapy. We describe a magnetic resonance images (MR...
متن کاملDesign, Construction and Evaluation of an Anthropomorphic Head Phantom for Assessment of Image Distortion in Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning Systems
Introduction: In recent years, the use of magnetic resonance (MR) images in radiation treatment planning has drawn considerable attention. However, although the extent of a tumor can be determined in great detail on MR images, the geometric accuracy of these images is limited by distortions stemming from the inhomogeneity of the static background magnetic field, the nonlineari...
