Association of body surface scanner-based abdominal volume with parameters of the Metabolic Syndrome and comparison with manually measured waist circumference [PDF]
To investigate abdominal volume determined by a new body scanner algorithm as anthropometric marker for Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and its parameters compared to manually measured waist circumference (WC), we performed body scans in 411 participants (38 ...

The feasibility of patient size‐corrected, scanner‐independent organ dose estimates for abdominal CT exams [PDF]
Purpose:A recent work has demonstrated the feasibility of estimating the dose to individual organs from multidetector CT exams using patient‐specific, scanner‐independent‐to‐organ‐dose conversion coefficients. However, the previous study only investigated organ dose to a single patient model from a full‐body helical CT scan.

Endoscopic Laser Surface Scanner for Minimally Invasive Abdominal Surgeries
Minimally invasive surgery performed under endoscopic video is a viable alternative to several types of open abdominal surgeries. Advanced visualization techniques require accurate patient registration, often facilitated by reconstruction of the organ surface in situ.

Multiple Mycotic Aneurysms of the Abdominal Aorta Illustrated on MDCT Scanner
Infective mycotic aneurysm of the aorta is a rare and life-threatening disease. A patient presenting with constitutional symptoms and pulsatile abdominal mass should raise a suspicion of mycotic aneurysm. Early detection of aortic mycotic lesions in such patients should play a key role in the treatment of aortic aneurysms. Multiple mycotic aneurysms of

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening Using Non-imaging Hand-held Ultrasound Volume Scanner – A Pilot Study [PDF]
Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is cost-effective and timely repair improves outcome. Using standard ultrasound (US) an AAA can be accurately diagnosed or ruled-out. However, this requires training and bulk equipment.To evaluate the diagnostic potential of a new hand-held ultrasound bladder volume indicator (BVI) in the setting of AAA ...

To develop a protocol for abdominal imaging on a prototype 0.55 T scanner and to benchmark the image quality against conventional 1.5 T exam.In this prospective IRB-approved HIPAA-compliant study, 10 healthy volunteers were recruited and imaged. A commercial MRI system was modified to operate at 0.55 T (LF) with two different gradient performance ...
