Proposal of thermal imaging application in photodynamic therapy-Preliminary report.

There are many different skin lesions that manifest a skin temperature gradient. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequently occurring type of malignant skin lesion (almost 95% of all skin tumors). BCC is sometimes treated by using photodynamic therapy which is very well tolerated by patients and provides good results, especially in superficial skin layer lesions.

Extracolonic findings at CT colonography - additional advantage of the method.

Background: In virtual colonoscopy (VC) we are capable to assess all organs located between a diaphragm and pelvic bottom. This report provides a breakdown of extracolonic pathological findings in VC performed in standard indications.

Material/methods: We reviewed 71 consecutive VC (29 men and 42 women) performed using double-slice scanner General Electric High Speed NX/I Pro.
