The aim of the present study was to define the resolution of multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) of the lung from "theoretical isotropic data." Using inflated and fixed lung specimens of the pig placed...

Asialoerythropoietin Prevents Contrast-Induced Nephropathy

Yokomaku, Yukiyo, Sugimoto, Toshiro, Kume, Shinji, Araki, Shin-ichi, Isshiki, Keiji, Chin-Kanasaki, Masami, ...

Strategies to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) are suboptimal. Erythropoietin was recently found to be cytoprotective in a variety of nonhematopoietic cells, so it was hypothesized that the...

Imaging of pulmonary emphysema: A pictorial review

Takahashi, Masashi, Fukuoka, Junya, Nitta, Norihisa, Takazakura, Ryutaro, Nagatani, Yukihiro, Murakami, Yoko, ...

The term ‘emphysema’ is generally used in a morphological sense, and therefore imaging modalities have an important role in diagnosing this disease. In particular, high resolution computed...
