PURPOSE To compare estimated prostate volume (PV) based on computed tomography (CT) scan and transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2010 and October 2012, 107 consecutive patients with LUTS were analyzed, retrospectively. PV measures were performed by the means of ellipsoid formula (PV = π/6 [width (cm) th...

Objectives: Presence/absence of cervical lymph node metastasis plays a critical role in prognosis and survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This study was designed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) scan for detection of cervical lymph node metastasis in oral SCC in comparison with histopathological analysis after neck dissection Methods: In...

methods multidetector ct-scan and explorative laparotomy of the patients with blunt abdominal trauma were assessed retrospectively. characteristics of the injuries were categorized on the basis of the american association for the surgery of trauma (aast) grading system and the findings were analyzed using kappa test. results the findings of 35 patients were analyzed. according to the kappa test...

CONTEXT Accessory mental foramen is a rare anatomical variation. Even so, in order to avoid neurovascular complications, particular attention should be paid to the possible occurrence of one or more accessory mental foramen during surgical procedures involving the mandible. CASE REPORT A 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) scan of a female patient revealed an accessory mental foramen on...

Movement of skin markers with respect to their underlying bone (i.e. soft tissue artifacts (STAs)) might corrupt the accuracy marker-based movement analyses. This study aims quantify STAs in 3D for foot and effect on multi-segment kinematics as calculated by Oxford Rizzoli Foot Models (OFM, RFM). Fifteen subjects asymptomatic feet were seated a custom-made loading device computed tomography (CT...

Post stroke dementia is one of the most common complications of stroke that is preventable and relatively treatable too. The purpose of the study is comparison between the positive findings in brain CT scan and brain perfusion SPECT. 15 patients who were complicated by dementia after cerebrovascular accident and also 5 patients as a control group enrolled in this study. Brain CT scan and ...

PURPOSE Patient-specific 3D-printed phantoms have many potential applications, both research and clinical. However, they have been limited in size and complexity because of the small size of most commercially available 3D printers as well as material warping concerns. We aimed to overcome these limitations by developing and testing an effective 3D printing workflow to fabricate a large patient-...

Flexion-extension x-rays are almost exclusively employed to analyze cervical spine kinematics. Yet, 2D radiographic measures of key vertebral metrics used to evaluate cervical stability are limited by x-ray source beam divergence, magnification errors and off-axis image acquisition. Three-dimensional CT images can be used to accurately measure these parameters, however flexion-extension CT scan...

The nondestructive testing (NDT) of long object (such as pipeline) has significant value. Computed tomography (CT) is able to generate 3D images and display the inner defects of the inspected object. Sometimes the long object fixed outdoors can’t be rotated, and the rotating of the X-ray source and detector is also difficult. So the linear scan CT, translating the X-ray source and detector alon...
