Abstract Aims Acute Bowel Obstruction (ABO) accounts for 10% of emergency surgical admissions and when surgery is required mortality can exceed 10%. Early diagnosis associated with improved patient outcomes timely acquisition abdominal CT scans help prevent delays. The NCEPOD 2020 report on ABO identified ‘delays in imaging’ as a key area improvement the care these patients, delays being exacer...

Introduction: Accurate evaluation of femoral and tibial torsion is essential for children or adult with legs deformity, becuse incorrect legs morphogenesis can lead to pathological situation. CT scan is commonly used for the measurement of skeletal bone parameters. But, disability in imaging from standing and sitting posture and absorb dose of patients are deficits of this meth...

This study extends the 'zero scan' method for CT imaging of polymer gel dosimeters to include multislice acquisitions. Multislice CT images consisting of 24 slices of 1.2 mm thickness were acquired of an irradiated polymer gel dosimeter and processed with the zero scan technique. The results demonstrate that zero scan-based gel readout can be successfully applied to generate a three-dimensional...

here we describe the second reported case of cannabinoid hyperemesis in uk. a 42 years old patient presented on more than one occasion with vomiting, abdominal pain, fever and dehydration and treated as sepsis with antibiotics. extensive investigations including upper gi endoscopy, colonoscopy, chest x-ray, abdominal ultrasound, abdominal ct scan, barium swallow and echocardiogram; all reported...

Infants delivered prematurely often have respiratory distress related to surfactant deficiency or pneumonia. The current case describes a premature neonate who presented with increased work of breathing and recurrent left pneumothorax. Although chest x-ray showed left upper lobe changes consistent with pulmonary interstitial emphysema, subsequent CT scan performed due to recurrent pneumothorace...

Musculoskeletal tuberculosis is the commonest form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis however Rib lesion is uncommon and occurs in zero to five percent of bone and joint tuberculosis. In our case report both chest X ray and CT were useful in demonstrating the skeletal lesion and also in the assessment of response to treatment, as follow up chest X ray and CT scan at 4 months and after 12 months of ...

We describe the evaluation of the registration of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans with X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) scans of the human brain. A CT scan and a PET scan of the same person were obtained with fiducial markers placed on the person's head. The CT scan and the PET scan were then registered, first by using the fiducial markers, and next by applying the registration method cu...
