Endoscopy is not only a useful diagnostic tool for localizing the bleeding site, but also a therapeutic modality for its management. To date, haemostatic methods have included adrenaline injection, mechanical clipping, thermal and electrical coagulation or combinations of them. The results of all published data are herein reviewed.展开更多

In this case report, an angiolipoma was diagnosed preoperatively by imaging (including CT scans, abdominal echo, barium enema, and colonoscopy). This pathology was confirmed postoperatively. Computed tomography scan, abdominal echo, and barium enema images were presented.展开更多

Methods: We put forward the base frame of our lung segmentation firstly. Then, using optimal thresholding and mathematical morphologic methods, we acquired the rough image of lung segmentation. Finally, we presented a fast self-fit segmentation refinement algorithm, adapting to the unsuccessful left-right lung segmentation of thredsholding. Then our algorithm was used to CT scan images of 30 patients and the results were compared with those made by experts. Results: Experiments on clinical 2-D pulmonary images showed the results of our algorithm were very close to the expert’s manual outlines, and it was very effective for the separation of left and right lungs with a successful segmentation ratio 94.8%. Conclusion: It is a practicable fast lung segmentation algorithm for CAD system on thoracic CT image.展开更多

A 28-year-old female patient who underwent surgery and radiation therapy for glioma in the left frontal lobe and was diagnosed as having extracranial metastasis to L2–L4 vertebral body by MRI, PET-CT and pathological examination. The clinical, imaging and pathologic features of the case are described and discussed.展开更多
