We studied the role of duplex Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of renal obstruction caused by ureteral calculi. Using duplex Doppler sonography, we evaluated the intrarenal hemodynamics of 27 patients who presented to the... more
Concerns over the health effects of nanomaterials in the environment have created a need for microscopy methods capable of examining the biological interactions of nanoparticles (NP). Unfortunately, NP are beyond the diffraction limit of... more
The Teager-Kaiser operator is a discrete version of Teager's energy operator, advanced about 16 years ago. It is a filter of the moving window type and is commonly used as an estimator of the local energy contents of a signal; it is also... more
Extravasation of contrast material is a well-recognized complication of contrast-enhanced imaging studies. The management of this complication is contentious; therefore, the Contrast Media Safety Committee of The European Society of... more
The main objective of image enhancement is to improve some characteristic of an image to make it visually better one. This paper proposes a method for enhancing the color images based on nonlinear transfer function and pixel neighborhood... more
Advances in conformal radiation therapy and advancements in pre-clinical radiotherapy research have recently stimulated the development of precise micro-irradiators for small animals such as mice and rats. These devices are often kilovolt... more
The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of integrated whole body positron emission tomography/contrast-enhanced CT (PET/CECT) as a one step examination in the initial staging of oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell... more
The current study investigates whether texture properties of the tissue surrounding microcalcification (MC) clusters can contribute to breast cancer diagnosis. The case sample analyzed consists of 100 mammographic images, originating from... more
