introduction: one of the most important parameters in x-ray ct imaging is the noise induced by detected scattered radiation. the detected scattered radiation is completely dependent on the scanner geometry as well as size, shape and material of the scanned object. the magnitude and spatial distribution of the scattered radiation in x-ray ct should be quantified for development of robust scatter...

background one of the most important causes of mortality in developed and developing countries is coronary artery disease. coronary artery disease (cad) may develop by deposition of lipid, fibrous or calcified debris on the surface of the coronary artery lumen. fibrous plaque and calcified plaque may cause substantial stenosis of coronary arteries leading to ischemia of heart muscle while lipid...

introduction: cholesteatoma is traditionally diagnosed by otoscopic examination and treated by surgery. the necessity for imaging in an uncomplicated case is controversial. this study was planned to investigate the usefulness of a preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (hrct) scan in depicting the status of middle ear structures in the presence of cholesteatoma and also to compare the...

introduction in computed tomography (ct) technology, an optimal radiation dose can be achieved via changing radiation parameters such as ma, pitch factor, rotation time and tube voltage (kvp) for diagnostic images. materials and methods in this study, the brain, abdomen, and thorax scaning was performed using toshiba 16-slice scannerand standard aapm and ctdi phantoms. aapm phantom was used for...

trauma is the most common reason in 1-34 years olds. in patient with multiple traumas, the head is the most common involved part. the importance of computed tomography (ct scan) in diagnosis of brain trauma is well established and ct of the brain is a choice method. finding lesion in brain traumatic patient is very important so goal of this study is finding of brain ct scan in traumatic patient...
