Computerized transaxial tomography was carried out on 50 consecutive unselected patients referred to a neurologic practice for evaluation of focal epilepsy. Structural abnormalities were defined in 35.3 percent of these studies: porencephalic cysts in six patients, diffuse cerebral atrophy in five, cerebral hemiatrophy in three, focal cortical atrophy in two, neoplasms in two, hydrocephalus in one patient, and cerebeller hypoplasia in one. Computerized transaxial tomography is a useful outpatient procedure for evaluation and follow-up of patients with focal seizure disorders.

99m-Tc TRODAT Single-Photon Emission Computerized Tomography Scan Image Compression using Singular Value Decomposition.
Indian J Nucl Med
June 2023
Department of Nuclear Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Introduction: The objective of the study was to compress 99m-Tc TRODAT single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan image using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) into an acceptable compressed image and then calculate the compression factor.
Materials And Methods: The SVD of every image from the image dataset of 2256 images (of forty-eight 99m-Tc TRODAT SPECT studies [48 studies X 47 trans-axial images = 2256 trans-axial images]) was computed and after truncating singular values smaller than a threshold, the compressed image was reconstructed. The SVD computation time and percentage compression achieved were calculated for each image.
Rectal Gas Volume Measured by Computerized Tomography Identifies Evacuation Disorders in Patients With Constipation.
Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol
April 2017
Clinical Enteric Neuroscience Translational and Epidemiological Research, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. Electronic address:
Background & Aims: Approximately one third of patients who present to gastroenterology care with constipation have rectal evacuation disorders. We aimed to compare rectal gas volume, measured by computerized tomography (CT), in constipated patients with and without rectal evacuation disorders.
Methods: In a retrospective study, we collected data from 1553 patients with constipation, evaluated over 20 years.
Metabolic effects of pulmonary obstruction on myocardial functioning: a pilot study using multiple time-point 18F-FDG-PET imaging.

Rationale: The aim of this study was to evaluate fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake in the right ventricle (RV) of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to characterize the variability of 18F-FDG uptake in the RV at different time points following radiotracer administration using PET/computerized tomography (CT). Impaired RV systolic function, RV hypertrophy, and RV dilation are associated with increases in mean pulmonary arterial pressure in patients with COPD. Metabolic changes in the RV using 18F-FDG-PET images 2 and 3 h after tracer injection have not yet been investigated.

The introduction of new cross-sectional imaging techniques in the 1970's and 1980's led to great improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. In this symposium, we will chronicle the development of three of these Methods: computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonic imaging (US). Computed Tomography Early attempts to obtain trans-axial radiographs employed unconventional mechanical motions of the x-ray tube and screen-film image receptor that produced images of limited utility.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using detailed semiquantitative analysis of Technetium-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine (HMPAO) brain single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) in patients with hypothyroidism due to autoimmune thyroiditis.
Patients, Material And Methods: Twenty patients (mean age: 42+/-9 yr) and 12 control subjects (mean age: 35.4+/-8.
