background: since tumors located in thorax region of body mainly move due to respiration, in the modern radiotherapy, there have been many attempts such as; external markers, strain gage and spirometer represent for monitoring patients’ breathing signal. with the advent of fluoroscopy technique, indirect methods were proposed as an alternative approach to extract patients’ breathing signals. ma...

Diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of ischemic stroke. DW images (DWIs) are usually acquired in multi-slice settings where lesion areas two consecutive 2D slices highly discontinuous due to large slice thickness sometimes even gaps. Therefore, although DWIs contain rich 3D information, they cannot be treated as regular or images. Inst...

This article examines the potential theoretical and practical contributions that thin-slice judgments may offer to consumer psychology. We begin by exploring thin-slice judgments in the context of existing consumer information processing research. Then, we discuss the antecedents of thin-slice judgments, the type of processing that may underlie and impact thin-slice judgment formation. Finally,...

This study was aimed to evaluate the image quality and lacunar lesion detection of thin-slice brain computed tomography (CT) images with different reconstruction algorithms, including filtered back projection (FBP), hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR), and iterative model reconstruction (IMR) by comparison of routine slice images with FBP reconstruction. Sixty-one patients underwent noncontra...

Thromb Haemost 2006; 95: 914–5 Dear Sir, Spiral computed tomography (CT) of the pulmonary arteries has now generally become accepted as a reliable first-line diagnostic test for pulmonary embolism (PE) (1). But not every spiral CT is the same. Both single-slice and multi-slice CT have proved reliable in diagnosing PE (1, 2), but single-slice CT, which uses up to five-times thicker imaging secti...

Volumetric change in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) over time is a critical factor in treatment decisions. Typically, the tumor volume is computed on a slice-by-slice basis using MRI scans obtained at regular intervals. (3D)Slicer - a free platform for biomedical research - provides an alternative to this manual slice-by-slice segmentation process, which is significantly faster and requires less...
