Contrast enhancement in abdominal computed tomography: influence of photon energy of different scanners [PDF]
Objective: Different CT scanners have different X-ray spectra and photon energies indicating that contrast enhancement vary among scanners. However, this issue has not been fully validated; therefore, we performed phantom and clinical studies to assess this difference.

Vascular conspicuity differs among injection protocols and scanner types for canine multiphasic abdominal computed tomographic angiography [PDF]
AbstractMultiphasic multidetector computed tomographic angiography is a standard diagnostic test for canine abdominal vascular disorders. Three imaging protocols have been previously described. The test‐bolus protocol allows precise timing but can be time consuming to perform.

Validation of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry measures of abdominal fat by comparison with magnetic resonance imaging in an Indian population. [PDF]
ObjectiveAbdominal adiposity is an important risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease in Indians. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can be used to determine abdominal fat depots, being more accessible and less costly than gold standard ...

Modelado numérico de la pared abdominal basado en imágenes de scanner [PDF]
La pared abdominal tiene una gran importancia anatómica y funcional, tanto por ser la estructura de sostén de las vísceras como por permitir el movimiento y rotación del tronco con respecto a las extremidades y la cabeza. Las patologías más comunes que sufre la pared abdominal derivan de la pérdida de resistencia de ésta, la cual da lugar a los ...
