The effect of scattered radiation on x-ray image contrast is reviewed. Without scatter control, the information content of x-ray images is severely compromised. Typical grid performance in general radiography and mammography and grid selection considerations are presented. Contrast can be significantly improved and patient dose reduced if more efficient methods of scatter ...

A special double monochromator system was tested for a conventional operating tomography setup in order to use a broad wavelength band of monochromatic neutrons for radiography and tomography. Scanning through the wavelength region of Bragg edges, it is possible to make series of radiographs and tomographs at different wavelengths from 2.0 until 6.5 A. So ...

This article reviews current approaches for workup and staging in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Careful clinical examination and detailed imaging are discussed to accurately classify the extent of local, regional, and distant disease. Most patients with LABC receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy as initial treatment, and, in such patients, it is critical to ...

The purpose of this article is to describe and illustrate the findings for this condition on commonly used abdominal ...

A full-thickness defect of the abdominal wall is rare and may occur as a complication of extended abdominal surgery procedures. We report about a 69-year-old patient who was presented to our department with a full-thickness abdominal wall defect and a fully exposed collagen-mesh for reconstructive wound closure. 13 operations with ...

Physicians who care for pregnant women must be prepared to evaluate and treat abdominal trauma during pregnancy. The evaluation and management of even minimal abdominal trauma in pregnancy is often problematic, and the use of laboratory tests, fetal monitoring, radiography and ultrasonography depends on the extent of the trauma and the ...

We present a case of a 46-year-old man with a pulsatile mass in the left inferior abdominal quadrant that irradiated a continuous murmur extending to the left lumbar region. Despite an 8-year history of cardiomegaly, he appeared to be asymptomatic except for the mass and could recollect no traumatic injury or surgery that might have caused it. Near the ...

To reduce the radiation exposure received by young scoliosis patients during treatment, six changes in technique were instituted: (1) a posteroanterior projection, (2) specially designed leaded acrylic filters, (3) a high-speed screen-film system, (4) a specially designed cassette-holder and grid, (5) a breast-shield, and (6) additional filtration in the x-ray tube the thyroid, breast, and ...
