Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (H-MRSI) provides noninvasive information regarding metabolic activity within the tissues. One of the main problems of MRSI is low spatial resolution due to clinical scan time limitations. Advanced post-processsing algorithms, like convolutional neural networks (CNN) might help with generation of super resolution MR spectroscopic images. In this s...

Magnetic resonance image (MRI) in high spatial resolution provides detailed anatomical information and is often necessary for accurate quantitative analysis. However, high spatial resolution typically comes at the expense of longer scan time, less spatial coverage, and lower signal to noise ratio (SNR). Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR), a technique aimed to restore high-resolution (HR) deta...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables 3-D imaging of anatomical structures. However, the acquisition of MR volumes with high spatial resolution leads to long scan times. To this end, we propose volumetric super-resolution forests (VSRF) to enhance MRI resolution retrospectively. Our method learns a locally linear mapping between low-resolution and high-resolution volumetric image patches by ...

Background: Ascites, many of times remained unclassified by Clinical, laboratory and radiological tests. Laparoscopy provides answer to these cases as it has high diagnostic role, Pre therapeutic, Observation staging diseases & therapeutic roles. Diagnostic laparoscopy is a cost-effective procedure with overall accuracy. Methods: This was Retrospective study including all the patients who h...

We propose a new storage model called MBSM (Multiresolution Block Storage Model) for laying out tables on disks. MBSM is intended to speed up operations such as scans that are typical of data warehouse workloads. Disk blocks are grouped into “super-blocks,” with a single record stored in a partitioned fashion among the blocks in a superblock. The intention is that a scan operation that needs to...

Pediatric mesenteric panniculitis is an extremely rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by chronic inflammation, fat necrosis, and fibrosis in the mesenteric adipose tissue. A previously healthy 13-year-old boy was admitted because of right upper abdominal pain. An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed increased attenuation and enhancement in the left upper abdominal omental fat ...

A patient with metastatic calcification is presented and the contributions of plain film, computed tomography, and bone scintigraphy in the diagnosis are discussed. The patient had a long history of end-stage renal failure, and was previously receiving peritoneal dialysis and calcium supplements. His serum calcium level had been persistently elevated for several years without correction. Recent...

BACKGROUND Metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can be found in the lung and adrenal gland. We report case of a patient who presented with adrenal metastasis as the first clinical manifestation of HCC. CASE PRESENTATION A patient was referred for surgical treatment for a tumor in retro-peritoneal space. The computerized tomography (CT) scan revealed a mass originating from the left ...

The authors report a case of a 62-year-old man with upper abdominal pain with few hours of onset and vomits. The initial serum amylase was 2306 U/L. The first CT showed signs of a non-complicated acute pancreatitis. He suffered clinical deterioration and for this reason he was admitted on the intensive care unit where he progressed to multiple organ failure in <24 h. A new CT scan was performed...

Cutaneous melanoma can metastasize to any organ, including brain and spinal cord. A 27-year-old lady, four months after conception presented with generalized seizures and was diagnosed to have subarachnoid hemorrhage. Further investigation did not reveal aneurysm. She underwent right ventriculo-peritoneal shunt for hydrocephalus and MTP for unprotected radiation from CT scan. Six weeks later sh...
