Background: Nottingham prognostic index (NPI) is a widely used integrated prognostic variable in patients with breast cancer. NPI has been correlated with tumor size, grade, lymph node stage and patient survival. The present study aimed at evaluating and correlating the various clinical and pathologic features of breast carcinoma with NPI.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) tractography is a computationally intensive procedure. The most time consuming operation is the tracking of fibers from every voxel in the scanned volume. Fiber tracking can be accelerated significantly by use of reconfigurable hardware, such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), which can track fibers at very high speed by exploiting the flexibility, parallelism and high on-chip bandwidth.

We report a case of pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor of the bladder in a 23-year-old man with a 2 month history of painless gross hematuria, which was studied by biphasic contrast-enhanced helical CT. CT demonstrated a 2 cm diameter polypoid enhancing mass in the anterior bladder wall. The lesion measured 103 and 91 HU on early and delayed images, respectively.
