Method And Phantom To Study Combined Effects Of In-Plane (X,Y) And Z-Axis Resolution For 3d Ct Imaging., David Goodenough, Josh Levy, Smari Kristinsson, Jesper Fredriksson, Hildur Olafsdottir, Austin Healy

Increasingly, the advent of multislice CT scanners, volume CT scanners, and total body spiral acquisition modes has led to the use of Multi Planar Reconstruction and 3D datasets. In considering 3D resolution properties of a CT system it is important to note that both the in-plane (x,y) and z-axis (slice thickness) influence the visual-ization and detection of objects within the scanned volume. This study investigates ways to consider both the in-plane resolution and the z-axis resolution in a single phantom wherein analytic or visualized analysis can yield information on these combined effects. A new phantom called the "Wave Phantom" is …
Prospective Evaluation Of The Influence Of Iterative Reconstruction On The Reproducibility Of Coronary Calcium Quantification In Reduced Radiation Dose 320 Detector Row Ct., Andrew D Choi, Eric S Leifer, Jeannie Yu, Sujata M Shanbhag, Kathie Bronson, Andrew E Arai, Marcus Y Chen
Prospective Evaluation Of The Influence Of Iterative Reconstruction On The Reproducibility Of Coronary Calcium Quantification In Reduced Radiation Dose 320 Detector Row Ct., Andrew D Choi, Eric S Leifer, Jeannie Yu, Sujata M Shanbhag, Kathie Bronson, Andrew E Arai, Marcus Y Chen

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) predicts coronary heart disease events and is important for individualized cardiac risk assessment. This report assesses the interscan variability of CT for coronary calcium quantification using image acquisition with standard and reduced radiation dose protocols and whether the use of reduced radiation dose acquisition with iterative reconstruction (IR; "reduced-dose/IR ") allows for similar image quality and reproducibility when compared to standard radiation dose acquisition with filtered back projection (FBP; "standard-dose/FBP") on 320-detector row computed tomography (320-CT).
METHODS: 200 consecutive patients (60 ± 9 years, 59% male) prospectively underwent two standard- and two reduced-dose acquisitions (800 …

Xp21.2 duplication syndrome is a rare genetic disorder of undetermined prevalence and clinical relevance. As the use of chromosomal microarray has become first line for the work-up of childhood developmental delay, more gene deletions and duplications have been recognized. To the best of our knowledge, the imaging findings of Xp21.2 duplication syndrome have not been reported. We report a case of a 33 month-old male referred for developmental delay that was found to have an Xp21.2 duplication containing IL1RAPL1 and multiple midline brain malformations.

Parenteral routes of drug administration are often selected to optimize actual dose of drug delivered, assure high bioavailability, bypass first-pass metabolism or harsh gastrointestinal environments, as well as maximize the speed of onset. Intramuscular (IM) delivery can be preferred to intravenous delivery when initiating intravenous access is difficult or impossible. Drugs can be injected intramuscularly using a syringe or an automated delivery device (autoinjector). Investigation into the IM delivery dynamics of these methods may guide further improvements in the performance of injection technologies. Two porcine model studies were conducted to compare differences in dispersion of injectate volume for different methods …
