Forward and inverse MDCT are two of the most computationally intensive operations in the MPEG audio coding standard. In this paper we derive sinusoidal recursive formulas for transforming kernels of the MDCT/MDST and IMDCT/IMDST. Then we efficiently implement MDCT/MDST and IMDCT/IMDST of the general length using the regressive structure derived from the sinusoidal recursive formulas. The propos...

ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer and about 70% of the patients are advanced stagein the time of diagnosis. decision about management (surgical debulking versus neoadjuant chemotherapy) in ovarian cancer patients is dependent on initial staging by abdominopelvic mdct or mri, so, radiologist expertise on ovarian cancer staging is very important. involvement of mesenteric roo...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical value of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis and treatment of complex fractures of the tibial plateau. A total of 71 patients with complex fractures of the tibial plateau (estimated Schatzker classifications III, V and VI) were included in this study. The X-ray, MDCT and MRI data ob...

Recently, a mixed-radix decimation in frequency (DIF) fast MDCT algorithm only for the mixed-radix decompositions or composite lengths N = 3m×2, m > 0, has been proposed in [4]. An improved mixed-radix DIF fast MDCT algorithm both in terms of the regularity and computational complexity is described. Based on observed simple algebraic identities in the original proposed algorithm [4], new formul...

Trauma is the leading cause of death in United States in the younger population. Cardiac trauma is common following blunt chest injuries and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study discusses various multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) findings of cardiac trauma. Cardiac injuries are broadly categorized into the most commonly occurring blunt cardiac injury and the less c...

A new method of MP3 steganography is proposed with emphasis on increasing the robustness of data embedding based on the MP3 statistical properties, which used Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (MDCT) to compress these properties. In order to achieve this purpose, modification of selected MDCT coefficients is done through MPEG audio compression procedure. In this algorithm, secret message is em...

BACKGROUND The advantages of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) have made it the imaging modality of choice for some patients with suspected cardiothoracic disease, of which pulmonary embolism (PE) is an exponent. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of PE in patients with clinical suspicion of acute PE using MDCT in a sub-Saharan setting, and to describe the demographic cha...

BACKGROUND Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography represents one of the most exciting technological revolutions in cardiac imaging and it has been increasingly used in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of age and coronary plaque calcification on diagnostic accuracy of MDCT. METHODS The patients were examined...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of 16-slice multislice, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography for the evaluation of grafts in patients with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS Fifty-eight consecutive patients with CABG who underwent both MDCT and conventional invasive coronary angiography were included. The median time int...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Multidetector-row CT (MDCT) is emerging as a new tool for diagnosing aortic atherothrombotic disease (AAD). We elucidated whether MDCT-detected AAD is associated with an increased risk of early ischemic lesion recurrence on diffusion-weighted MRI after ischemic stroke. METHODS A consecutive series of patients with acute ischemic stroke confirmed using diffusion-weighted...
