Abstract
We examined the feasibility of using cross-sectional imaging with postmortem multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) to detect lesions of the skeletal structures and internal organs. For this purpose, we used whole-body MSCT to examine 10 corpses that suffered fatal falls from great height while clim...

Abstract
We focus on 3 aspects that have significantly influenced the design of newer CT scanners. (1) A faster scan speed enables coverage of the cardiothoracic anatomy in shorter scan times, which is beneficial for patients with limited ability to cooperate and opens new clinical possibilities. A coveted g...

Phantom data showed clearly the effect of higher count on image quality. Moreover, when high counts were available, reconstruction could be done using 2 mm voxel size, which improved the quality of the images further. In children, the counts per voxel in all the regions of interest, with the excepti...

Abstract
A total of 183 post-EVD insertion scans were reviewed. Of those, 73 EVD tips (39.9%) were in the ipsilateral frontal horn of the lateral ventricle (the desired target); of those, 18 (25%) required EVD revision/reinsertion. Of the others, 35 (19.1%) were in the third ventricle, 33 (18%) in the body o...
