We report a case of Hodgkin lymphoma (classic type) referred for response assessment after two cycles of chemotherapy with ABVD regiment. The F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) showed hypermetabolic cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions with a linear pattern in the left arm with significant F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron accumulation in associate with left axi...

objectives: this study sought to evaluate the accuracy and errors of linear measurements of mesiodistal dimensions of kennedy class iii edentulous space using cone beam computed tomography (cbct) in comparison with clinical measurements. materials and methods: nineteen kennedy class iii dental arches were evaluated. an impression was made of each dental arch and poured with dental stone. the di...

The authors perform a revisional and iconographic study of the lacrimal system by means of radiological methods, namely, conventional radiography, linear tomography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Image methods are essential to define diagnosis and therapy, considering that besides demonstrating alterations of the lacrimal system, they may indicate the patients with better ...

background: providing a cross-sectional image is essential for preimplant assessments. computed tomography (ct) and cone beam ct (cbct) images are very expensive and provide high radiation dose. tangential projection is a very simple, available, and low-dose technique that can be used in the anterior portion of mandible. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of tangential proje...

Background and Objective: Computerized tomography and fluoroscopic computerized tomography are amongst the methods used for guiding needle biopsy processes; however, fluoroscopic computerized tomography demonstrates the images during the process of biopsy. This study aims to compare and contrast the success of biopsy under guide...

Introduction: Cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) suffers inferior image quality due to scatter and other problems. We are developing a novel tetrahedron beam computed tomography (TBCT) imaging system which consists of a linear scan x-ray source and a linear x-ray detector array. TBCT system avoids the inherent problems of CBCT, thereby can significantly improve the quality of online images in...

We describe a non-parametric bootstrap method to estimate the statistical properties of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images, whatever the type of noise in the projections and the reconstruction algorithm. Using analytical simulations and real PET data, this method is shown to accurately predict the statistical distribution, hence the ...
