Initial experience with renal 3D US indicates that it is an accurate method for assessment of renal parenchymal volume and relative renal size, provided there is no acute renal disease.
The purpose of this study was to determine the value of a blood-pool contrast media (NC100150, Nycomed Imaging (now Amersham Health) Oslo, Norway) for evaluation of venous thrombosis of the deep veins of the pelvis and lower extremities. Twelve patients were prospectively evaluated with conventional X-ray venography (XRV) and MR venography (MRV) after injection of NC100150 (2 ml/kg body weight). The source images and 3D maximum intensity projection (MIP) were viewed on an independent workstation. Diagnosis was made in consensus from two radiologists.
Times when RBC surface, mean, and core temperature exceed 10°C can be estimated from each other. Moreover RBC mean temperature can be calculated for arbitrary storage and ambient temperatures. Findings might serve as a helpful tool in RBC temperature monitoring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
