In 1992, Georges Charpak invented a new type of X-ray detector, which in turn led to the development EOS(®) 2D/3D imaging system. This system takes simultaneous anteroposterior and lateral 2D images whole body can be utilized perform 3D reconstruction based on statistical models. The purpose this review is present state art for technique, report recent developments advances stress its benefits while also noting limitations.The was thorough literature search subject as well personal...

To determine whether histogram analysis of diffusion-tensor (DT) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging metrics, including tensor shape measurements, can help the grades and subtypes meningiomas.The institutional review board approved this HIPAA-compliant study. Nine atypical, three anaplastic, 39 typical meningiomas were retrospectively studied. The included one secretory meningioma 11 fibroblastic, transitional, 14 meningothelial, two angiomatous meningiomas. DT fractional anisotropy, mean...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the utility of lateral ventricular volume measurements in predicting motor and cognitive impairment severity children with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), or without seizures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The charts spastic cerebral palsy PVL documented on brain magnetic resonance (MR) images were reviewed. Affected grouped by seizure disorder. An age-matched control group was established. Lateral volumes measured two-dimensional T2-weighted spin-echo MR images. Analysis...

The objective of this study is to investigate the use pattern classification methods for distinguishing different types brain tumors, such as primary gliomas from metastases, and also grading gliomas. A computer-assisted method combining conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) perfusion MRI developed used differential diagnosis. proposed scheme consists several steps including ROI definition, feature extraction, selection classification. extracted features include tumor shape intensity...

Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is the most common childhood brain tumor. In cases where tumor progresses or recurs following primary surgical resection, appropriate treatment unclear. Options include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, resection a combination thereof. To analyze utility of further surgery, we performed retrospective, single-institution review pediatric patients with recurrent PAs from 1990 to 1999 who were treated second resection. Patients excluded if they received adjuvant...

This paper presents a fully automatic white matter lesion (WML) segmentation method, based on local features determined by combining multiple MR acquisition protocols, including T1-weighted, T2-weighted, proton density (PD)-weighted and fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) scans. Support vector machines (SVMs) are used to integrate from these 4 types, thereby identifying nonlinear imaging profiles that distinguish classify WMLs normal brain tissue. Validation population of 45...

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the results on shoulder function following isolated proximal subscapularis release in children with Erb's palsy.A retrospective study conducted 64 consecutive palsy who underwent a Carlioz between 2001 and 2012. Fifty complete records minimum follow-up 2 years were included for evaluation. Age at surgery ranged from 1.3 4.5 (average 2.6 years). Preoperative active abduction/anterior elevation, external internal rotations as well Mallet score compared...
