DICOM files are used to store, exchange, and transmit medical images from radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and radiation therapy, but also personal data about the patient. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. IMA files can be up ...
Limitations of MRI in visualizing these structures, particularly the intrinsic ligaments and the TFCC, need to be considered. This article outlines the main features to comment on when reporting common conditions of the wrist on MRI, with some examples of terminology that can be used to describe ...
It is believed that a cell may have 102–104 ion channels, and the probability of any of them being open (at any given time) is typically in the range of a few to a few tens of percent42,43. Magnetic gradient forces exerted on cells impose mechanical stress on the plasma membrane ...
Although mastectomy is the standard treatment modality for breast cancer patients in Ethiopia, our previous study revealed that one in five patients do not receive the recommended procedure, half due to patient refusal or lack of returning to the hospita
Effective therapies exist for osteoporosis, but how should those who require therapy be identified? In this chapter we present the rationale behind identifying those at risk through considering past medical history of previous fractures, use of dual X-ra
An adapted version of the Fearful Faces Task (FFT) [24] was used, designed to measure amygdala activity during fearful and neutral facial expressions. While in the MRI scanner, participants were presented with stimuli, consisting of 15 male and 15 female faces, each depicting fearful (Fear cond...
I'm going to close this as it sounds specific to your machine. I would be happy to re-open it if you find that there's something PySimpleGUI is doing incorrectly. If you find a solution, please come back and post it so that if someone else has the same problem, they'll see what...
Figure 2:Examples of MRI images from the same patient. From left to right, T1, T2, FLAIR, and T1 post-contrast images of the brain in a patient with a right frontal lobe brain tumor. Note that tissue types (fat, water, blood vessels) can appear differently depending on the pulse seque...
Preoperative molecular images, like SPECT and PET, nowadays almost always in combination with CT or MRI, are the starting point of many robotic surgery procedures. They serve as means to select patients, plan entry paths, trocar placement, and then even, in some cases, guide the surgeon grossl...
Since the brain was found to be somehow flexible, plastic, researchers worldwide have been trying to comprehend its fundamentals to better understand the brain itself, make predictions, disentangle the neurobiology of brain diseases, and finally propose up-to-date treatments. Neuroplasticity is simple...
