The evolution of the microstructure an AlSi7Cu3 alloy is investigated by optical microscopy and X-ray tomography in as-cast condition with subsequent solution treatments for 2 h 30 min 50 at 495 °C, respectively. analyzed contains pores hard inclusions, i.e. eutectic Si, iron-intermetallics, Al2Cu phases. 2D microscopic surface examination was performed to reveal characteristics Si phase while ...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reduction in excision cavity volume (ECV) during the whole breast radiotherapy (WBRT). The delineating of reduced cavity volume on secondary CT (computed tomography) might decrease the field size of boost plan. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients were treated having breast conservative surgery. At first, primary CT simulation (CT-1) was d...

Chest radiography and CT demonstrated the extensive pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema. Treatment of this rare condition is conservative and prognosis is excellent.

Colovesical fistula (CVF) is an abnormal connection between the enteric and the urinary systems. The rectourethral fistula (RUF) is a possible but extremely rare complication of treatment of prostate cancer with "transrectal High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment." We present a case of CVF due to HIFU treatment of recurrent prostate cancer. The case was assessed with cystography com...

Biliopancreatic limb obstruction after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a challenging diagnosis as the symptoms are very nonspecific. CT scan is the optimal study for evaluation. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential in reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition.

introduction: gastrointestinal stromal tumors (gists) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. gist has been shown to over-express c-kit (cd117), the receptor tyrosine kinase. imatinib (sti571 or glivec) is a new type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits various tyrosine kinases and has been successfully used to treat gist. in this study we have...
