(Springer-Verlag, 1983-12)
Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare hereditary mechanobullous skin disorder. Four patients with esophageal involvement are reported. These cases and review of reported cases of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica-recessive (EBD-R) ...
Use of Integrated SPECT/CT Imaging for Tumor Dosimetry in I-131 Radioimmunotherapy: A Pilot Patient Study
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2009-08)
Abstract Integrated systems combining functional (single-photon emission computed tomography; SPECT) imaging with anatomic (computed tomography; CT) imaging have the potential to greatly improve the accuracy of dose ...
Improvements in MR Angiography Using Phase-Corrected Data Sets
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1989-04)
The objective of this work is refinement of an MR angiography technique via postprocessing removal of phase errors which inhibit static signal subtraction. Projective views of the object are obtained using interleaved ...
Synthesis and regional mouse brain distribution of [11C]Nisoxetine, a norepinephrine uptake inhibitor
(Elsevier, 1989)
Nisoxetine, a selective and high affinity (IC50 = 1 nM) inhibitor of NE reuptake, has been radiolabeled in high specific activity (> 600 Ci/mmol) by the alkylation of the nor-methyl precursor with [11C]CH3I. Synthetic ...
Striatal monoamine terminals in Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer's disease
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-06)
We used positron emission tomography (PET) with (+)-[ 11 C]dihydrotetrabenazine ([+]-[ 11 C]DTBZ) to examine striatal monoaminergic presynaptic terminal density in 20 patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), 25 with ...
Procedural hazards of neonatal ultrasonography
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1986-06)
Neonatal ultrasonography entails potential procedural hazards to the newborn infant. When performing ultrasound studies, the examiner may inadvertently move the endotracheal tube or may facilitate the spread of infection ...
The effects of incomplete breath-holding on 3D MR Image Quality
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1997-11)
The purpose of this study was to investigate how fast three-dimensional (3D) MR image quality is affected by breath-holding and to develop an optimal breath-holding strategy that minimizes artifact in the event of an ...
CT and ultrasound in abscess detection at specific anatomic sites: A study of 198 patients
(Elsevier, 1987)
Records of 902 patients with possible abdominal abscess were reviewed and of these 198 had abscesses on at least one occasion imaged either with ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT). There were 235 episodes of either ...
Staphylococcal esophagitis causing giant ulcers
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., 1993-06)
A 29-year-old woman with Hodgkin disease developed odynophagia while receiving chemotherapy. Large esophageal ulcers due to staphylococcal infection of the mucosa were visualized by endoscopy and radiography. This unusual ...
