It is arare anatomic anomaly with an incidence of 0.2% to 0.6% in the patients undergoing renal imaging.1 Single imaging modality usually cannot differentiate calyceal diverticulum from other cystic renal diseases.2 Here, we report a 60-year-old male who was reliably diagnosed with calyceal diverticulum by retrograde urography combined with non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance urography (MRU).展开更多

Mesenteric lymphangioma is extremely rare in adults. Typically, lymphangioma appears on computed tomography (CT) as a lower attenuation of a cystic mass, however, some cases appear to be a solid mass. We describe the CT and 18F-FDG positron emission tomography/CT appearance in a case of jejunal and mesenteric cavernous lymphangi-omatosis mimicking metastasis in an adult patient with rectal cancer.展开更多

Advantages and disadvantages of the two measurement patterns are compared and application of their measurement data on hypoid gear's quality management is analyzed. How to use these measurement data to simulate the dynamical performance of hypoid gear is researched, and the intelligent predicton of the dynamical performance indexes of contact spot, root stress, vibration exciting forces and load distribution and hertz contact stress on the tooth surface are carried out. This research work has an important guiding sense to design and ma- chine hypoid gear with low vibration and noise.展开更多

It discusses EEG dipole source localization pro blems solved by nonlinear local optimization methods, such as Levenberg-Marquar t b. This paper presents the relation between location errors and noise level on c ondition that the source number is known; if the source number is not known, the selected number in model may not equal to the actual one, and a computation is carried out and a corresponding discrimination criteria is proposed. Computer si mulation demonstrates that Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is better than global methods if the source number is small.展开更多
