Methods: In this study, peripapillary choroidal thickness was assessed in the patients receiving oral isotretinoin treatment via optical coherent tomography technique.

Background In single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) studies, attenuation artifacts frequently cause false positives, which can be partially overcome by computed tomography attenuation correction (CT-AC) or gated acquisition [gated myocardial perfusion imaging (GMPI)].

Here, we perform in situ nanomechanical testing in conjunction with synchrotron-based hard X-ray nanotomography to capture initiation and evolution of damage in 3D in Al–Cu alloys.

METHODS Computed tomography scans of 50 paediatric patients with chronic rhinosinusitis were reviewed and compared to 50 scans of paediatric patients without chronic rhinosinusitis.

This clinical report demonstrates that ultrasound plays a relevant part as first-step approach to the acute abdominal conditions and its accuracy increases together with other diagnostic tools such as Computer Tomography.
