Computerized Tomography Pulmonary Angiography Image Simulation using Cycle Generative Adversarial Network from Chest CT imaging in Pulmonary Embolism Patients [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The purpose of this research is to develop a system that generates simulated computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) images clinically for pulmonary embolism diagnoses. Nowadays, CTPA images are the gold standard computerized detection method to determine and identify the symptoms of pulmonary embolism (PE), although performing CTPA is harmful

The watering of tall trees - Embolization and recovery [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, Elsevier, 2015, 369, pp.42 - 50, 2014 We can propound a thermo-mechanical understanding of the ascent of sap to the top of tall trees thanks to a comparison between experiments associated with the cohesion-tension theory and the disjoining pressure concept for liquid thin-films. When a segment of xylem is tight-filled with crude sap, the liquid pressure can be negative although the ...

A Statistical Analysis of the Effect of Different Embolization Materials on Gamma Knife Arteriovenous Malformation Dose Distributions [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKRS) is a treatment choice in newly diagnosed AVMs and residual AVMs following endovascular interventions. Aim of this study is to determine if commercially available liquid embolic agents reduce the radiation dose to the target due to the attenuation of the 60Co beam.

Hepatic metastasis of a parathyroid carcinoma treated with intra-arterial embolization
Revista de la Facultad de Medicina, 2017 This paper reports the case of a patient with parathyroid carcinoma and metastatic parathyroid carcinoma in the liver, as well as persistent hypercalcemia resistant to the management with zoledronic acid and cinacalcet. The patient was treated with intra-

Attention based CNN-LSTM Network for Pulmonary Embolism Prediction on Chest Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiograms [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 With more than 60,000 deaths annually in the United States, Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is among the most fatal cardiovascular diseases. It is caused by an artery blockage in the lung; confirming its presence is time-consuming and is prone to over-diagnosis.

Delivery of Liquid Metal to the Target Vessels as Vascular Embolic Agent to Starve Diseased Tissues or Tumors to Death [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Tumor growth relies heavily on the continuous blood and nutrients supply. Theoretically, it is an ideal therapeutic way of killing tumor by only vascular embolization. However, most of the existing vascular embolic agents are still rather insufficient to fulfill the real clinical need due to the reasons like: incomplete filling of target vasculature ...
