Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Plastic Wedges on Whole Foot Radiograph in Anteroposterior and Oblique PositionsPoe Lorlorm, Winit Choiprasert, Montree Tungjai, Suchart KothanThe whole foot radiography may be taken twice with different exposure parameters. It produces two images in two radiation exposures; one is the metatarsal view of the phalange and the other is a tarsal view. The aim of this study was to study the effects of plastic wedges on whole foot radiography with one radiation exposure. The plastic wedge was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 27 Apr 2017 · 7,591 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMedical Image Compression with Lossless Region of Interest Using Adaptive Active ContourR. Loganathan, Y. S. KumaraswamyProblem statement: With increasing bandwidth, digital medical image storage and transmission is a boon to patients and health professionals alike. Medical images are available instantly and avoid the need to carry the data physically. Popular imaging techniques extensively used in medicine include X-Ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound and Computed Tomography (CT). The images produced from the above techniques can … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 1 Mar 2012 · 7,723 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of the Electric Power Quality and Electrical Installation Impacts on Medical Electrical Equipment Operations at Health Care FacilitiesMário César Giacco Ramos, Carlos Márcio Vieira TahanProblem statement: Medical electrical equipments at health care facilities presented malfunction and wrong medical information due to poor electric power quality and to inadequate electrical Installations. Some equipment such as X-ray, computerized axial tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are considered as polluting ones due to their high amount of harmonics and voltage transients produced on the electrical power supply when … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,514 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTracking Error Analysis of a Rotation-Elevation Mode HeliostatOmar Aliman, Ismail Daut, Muzamir Isa, Mohd Rafi AdzmanFor the past few years, great efforts have been done in improving the tracking accuracy of a newly proposed rotation-elevation tracking mode heliostat. A special simulation program has been developed to systematically analyze the image movement and to find out the error of the parameters. In the simulation program, ray-tracing method was applied to work out the central point position … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,251 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessAll words, across the recordRound Pneumonia in Adults Masquerading as Bronchogenic CarcinomaChandan Kumar, Abhishek, Pal Satyajit Singh Athwal et al.Round pneumonia or coin pneumonia is a rare variant in adults, although it is very common in the pediatric age group patients. It can mimic as a pulmonary mass on imaging, which can lead to broad differential diagnosis or misguidance toward the conditions like bronchogenic carcinoma or other benign conditions which can lead to unnecessary diagnostic work up like computerized … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 7 Jan 2019 · 8,322 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessAll words, across the recordBilateral Renal Cortical Abscesses Presenting as Pyrexia of Unknown Origin in an Immunocompetent IndividualAnupam Sarkar, Sandipan Banik, Debashis Sadhukhan et al.The diagnosis of renal cortical abscess can be missed as the condition is frequently associated with blood and urine culture negativity. Moreover, imaging by ultrasonography in the early stages of the disease may miss small or developing abscesses and carbuncles. Renal abscesses being more common in the immunosuppressed, the condition may be overlooked in the immunocompetent. We report a case … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 12 Jun 2015 · 7,179 accessesView PDF Cite
