Abstract:

Perforation of a hollow viscus is an acute abdominal drama and the accurate diagnosis highly depends on demonstration of free intra­pritoneal air. The importance of adequate examination in the demonstration of ,tiny amount ()ff air is stressed and the value of an upright chest film when the horizontal beam is tangential to the top of the diaphragm is mentioned. Before standing for chest x-ray the patient shauld lie on the leI side for 10 - 20 minutes. Decubii:us and regular upright and recumbent abdominal views will oomplete the examination: The signs of intraperitoneal air in the recumbent filf are also briefly discussed and there is a short mention about extraperi­toneal air due to perforation.

Two Cases of Pneumatosis Cystoides Intestinalis With Intraperitoneal Free Air

Intraperitoneal free air (IFA) is sometimes accompanied by pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI); therefore, proper diagnosis is essential for PCI management. We report two cases of PCI with IFA. A 70-year-old female taking anti-psychotic medication for schizophrenia presented with repeated vomiting and high-grade fever. Computed tomography revealed small, linear gaseous cysts in the intesti...

Detection of intraperitoneal free gas by ultrasound

Introduction: Patients with acute abdominal pain may have unsuspected pneumoperitoneum, and be investigated with ultrasound. Although not the primary imaging modality for this condition, ultrasound will usually demonstrate signs of free intraperitoneal or extra-luminal gas. Methods: Sonographic signs of pneumoperitoneum are described, along with the limitations and pitfalls of the technique. Th...

Performance of Air Foam Flooding under Low Frequency Vibration

Foam injection is widely applied in amounts of fields to drilling, production, and formation protection. Sometimes, the application result is disappointing, which is caused by the failure of bubble generation in foam flooding. Therefore, it is necessary to seek ways for improving the performance of foam injection. An increased disturbance to the stratum, like the vibration caused by a seismic o...

extremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude

a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...

Face Detection at the Low Light Environments

Today, with the advancement of technology, the use of tools for extracting information from video are much wider in terms of both visual power and the processing power. High-speed car, perfect detection accuracy, business diversity in the fields of medical, home appliances, smart cars, humanoid robots, military systems and the commercialization makes these systems cost effective.

The Use of Narrowband Low Frequency Air-coupled Transducers for High Speed Detection of Broken Rails

An experimental study was conducted to simulate high-speed continuous monitoring of broken steel rail. A pair of low frequency narrowband ultrasonic transducers configured in pitch-catch mode was used to obtain signals reflected off of a circumferential notch in a spinning aluminum wheel. Due to the relative motion between the impinging ultrasound emitted from the air coupled transducer and the...
