Key words: peripelvic cysts; perirenal cysts; retroperi-The ultrasound examinations and computed tomo-toneal lymphangiectasia; renal vein thrombosis graphy (CT) revealed multiple bilateral peripelvic and perirenal cysts, enlargement of the right and shrinkage of the left kidney. A fluid specimen from these perirenal cysts was aspirated via exploratory puncture and iden

Calcification is a marked pathological component in carotid artery plaque. Studies have suggested that calcification may induce regions of high stress concentrations therefore increasing the potential for rupture. However, the mechanical behaviour of the plaque under the influence of calcification is not fully understood. A method of accurately characterising the calcification coupled with the ...

Seminomas in undescended testes may present as abdominal wall tumours. A unilateral testis tumour in a 29 year old man with ipsilateral undescended testis is presented and relevant literature is reviewed. A 29 year old man presenting with a tender left lower abdominal mass was admitted to our clinic and initial diagnostic tests followed by abdominal computerized tomography (CT) and positron emi...

A fifty year old lady who was operated for thyroid cancer two years ago and completed adjuvant therapy, underwent a computer tomography (CT) of the chest during her follow up. The CT showed a mass lesion in the right lung, located to the lateral segment of the middle lobe. There were no intrabronchial lesions on bronchoscopy. Positron emission CT (PET CT) showed a dense hypermetabolic mass loca...

CONTEXT Small tissue biopsies obtained through minimally invasive methods have become the primary diagnostic tools for the pathologic characterization and testing of lung masses. In view of recent advances in targeted therapy for non-small cell lung carcinoma, and lung adenocarcinoma in particular, pathologists are now expected to thoroughly characterize lung lesions microscopically while makin...

In order to investigate the creep damage and crack growth of TC11, we established finite element model based on ductility exhaustion constitutive model. This paper uses uniaxial test TC11 at 500℃ as a reference studies effect initial dimensions CT specimen surface specimen. The length has significant material. larger length, higher rate, tip equivalent stress triaxiality. greater influence for ...

Abstract An incomplete postcranial skeleton of a snake from the middle Miocene Swiss Molasse in Käpfnach mine, near Zurich, Switzerland, is described this paper. The rather crushed and resting on block coal, with only some articulated vertebrae partially discerned via visual microscopy. We conducted micro-CT scanning specimen we digitally reconstructed whole preserved vertebral column, allowing...

A 65-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to a pulmonary nodule on chest CT. She had been diagnosed with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-related vasculitis 10 years previously, which had been stabilized using 10 mg/ day prednisolone therapy. Chest CT revealed a crazy-paving appearance (Picture A). The lung resection specimen revealed a pulmonary low grade mucosa-associated lymph...
