Three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasonography is a new technique to evaluate the pattern of blood vessels. This study was performed to assess the feasibility of this method in evaluation of kidney vasculature pattern in dogs. In this paper, visualization of the Renal, Interlobar, Arcuate, and interlobular arteries and veins using 3D color Doppler ultrasonography in dogs is shown and the techn...

There has been significant interest in the periodic behavior, generally referred to as repeatability, exhibited by a kinematically redundant manipulator while performing a cyclic end-effector motion. Much of the early work in this area has been restricted to planar manipulators whose configuration is described in terms of absolute joint angles to simplify the problem. Unfortunately, this has re...

Collaboration within and between organisations requires knowledge and skills that collaborating partners do not always possess. In an effort to capture best practice collaboration knowledge, we propose patterns as models of repeatable collaboration processes for recurring high-value collaborative tasks. We present a pattern-based approach, associated ontology and tool which act as a platform th...

A patient with breast metastases is presented showing increased nodular renal uptake of tracer on bone scintigraphy that also demonstrated rib metastases and a large metastasis in the pelvis. However, vertebral body metastases were not shown when clearly demonstrated on CT with even partial compression on a thoracic spine film. Most of the renal lesions were hypoechoic on sonography, showed hyp...
