Validation of Sinus Drug Delivery Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Modeling with In Vitro Gamma Scintigraphy [PDF]
Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent and disruptive disease. Medical management including nasal steroid sprays is the primary treatment modality. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used to characterize sinonasal airflow and intranasal drug delivery; however, variation in simulation methods indicates a need for large scale ...

CAD Applications and Emerging Research Potential in Medical Imaging [PDF]
Computer Aided Detection (CAD) is a valuable technique for precisely interpreting medical images and it has a global business opportunity of about USD 1.8 billion. The current aspects with reference to the four sub stages such as image pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification and the future scope of CAD in medical imaging has

Abstract Aims Wild‐type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is a cardiomyopathy causing myocardial hypoperfusion and impaired cardiac mitochondrial function. Trimetazidine is an antianginal agent used in patients with stable angina pectoris, which improves cardiac contractility and mitochondrial function.

Rotating-slit scintigraphy using scintillating glass fibers: First results [PDF]
In this paper we propose to perform the scintigraphy of small organ using a rotating-slit collimator and a bundle of scintillating glass fibers, put in parallel with the slit and rotating with it. An intensified CCD, coupled to the end of the fibers, acquires an integrated image of the events per each rotation angle.

As observed in this systematic review, MRI is a flexible tool for assessing GE. Different protocols were analyzed, showing an equal capacity to assess the GE. However, many items in these protocols still require further investigation to obtain a common standard and increase this assessment quality. Abstract Background Several magnetic resonance imaging

A dosing algorithm for individualized radioiodine treatment of cats with hyperthyroidism
Background Radioiodine (131I) is the treatment of choice for hyperthyroidism in cats, but current 131I‐dosing protocols can induce iatrogenic hypothyroidism and expose azotemia.
