INTRODUCTION Sonography has found a role in the evaluation of patients with abdominal injury. However, the accuracy of sonography as performed by non-radiologists remains controversial. This study aims to determine the accuracy of focused abdominal sonography for trauma when performed by surgeons. MATERIALS AND METHOD Over a 1-year period, 48 patients with abdominal injury were initially eval...

Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common bacterial cause of sexually transmitted disease and can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), leading to severe outcomes such as ectopic pregnancy, infertility, or pelvic pain. We report a case of a 38-year-old patient with abdominal pain and dyspareunia. Clinical examination revealed diffuse abdominal tenderness. Vaginal and abdominal sonography show...

Abstract Non-uniform illumination limits quantitative analyses of fluorescence imaging techniques. In particular, single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) relies on high irradiances, but conventional Gaussian-shaped laser restricts the usable field view to around 40 µm × µm. We present Adaptable Scanning for Tunable Excitation Regions (ASTER), a versatile technique that generates uniform ...

Weather Doppler radar has the capability to scan large volumes of the atmosphere at high spatial and temporal resolutions. The real time access to the data from the entire WSR-88D network made possible by the fast internet now provides an unprecedented opportunity for using the data in operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. However, because of the huge volumes of radar data, the...

Example-based super-resolution (EBSR) [3, 4] reconstructs a highresolution image from a low-resolution image, given a training set of high-resolution images. In this note I propose some applications of EBSR to medical imaging. A particular interesting application, which I call x-ray voxelization, approximates the result of a CT scan from an x-ray image. 1 Example-based super-resolution Example-...

Wandering spleen (WS) is a rare entity characterized by laxity of peritoneal ligaments that hold the stationary. It most commonly diagnosed in children and young women. Clinical presentation ranges from asymptomatic to acute abdomen. A 19-yearold woman came emergency department with history progressive abdominal pain. She also had previous episodes hematemesis. computed tomography scan showed a...
