Quantification of Tortuosity and Fractal Dimension of the Lung Vessels in Pulmonary Hypertension Patients

by Michael Helmberger, Michael Pienn, Martin Urschler, Peter Kullnig, Rudolf Stollberger, Gabor Kovacs, Andrea Olschewski, Horst Olschewski
"... Pulmonary hypertension (PH) can result in vascular pruning and increased tortuosity of the blood vessels. In this study we examined whether automatic extraction of lung vessels from contrast-enhanced thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans and calculation of tortuosity as well as 3D fractal dimensio ..."

dual-energy CT scanner. After lung identification, a vessel enhancement filter was used to estimate the lung vessel centerlines. From these, the vascular trees were generated. For each vessel segment the tortuosity was calculated using distance metric. Fractal dimension was computed using 3D box

Automated Extraction of Aorta and Pulmonary Artery in Mediastinum from 3D Chest X-ray CT Images without Contrast Medium

by Takayuki Kitasaka, Kensaku Mori, Jun-ichi Hasegawa, Jun-ichiro Toriwaki, Kazuhiro Katada , 1496
"... This paper proposes a method for automated extraction of the aorta and pulmonary artery (PA) in the me- diastinum of the chest from uncontrasted chest X-ray CT images. Since the aorta and PA areas show low intensity contrast in the mediastinum, it is difficult to extract those areas by a procedure b ..."

based on CT values. The proposed method employs a model fitting technique to use shape features of blood vessels for extraction. First, edge voxels are detected based on the standard deviation of CT values. A likelihood image, which shows the degree of "likelihood" on medial axes of vessels

IMAGING

"... Nonimaging-based techniques used in diagnosing and monitoring pulmonary function (eg, spirom-etry, arterial blood gas analysis) provide information that is averaged over the communicating airways of both lungs. As a consequence, these techniques are relatively insensitive to subtle changes and, in p ..."

i A TRANSIENT COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMIC STUDY OF A LABORATORY-SCALE FLUORINE

by Ryno Pretorius, Supervisor Prof, P. L. Crouse, Electrolysis Cell
"... Fluorine gas is produced industrially by electrolysing hydrogen fluoride in a potassium acid fluoride electrolyte. Fluorine is produced at the carbon anode, while hydrogen is produced at the mild-steel cathode. The fluorine produced has a wide range of uses, most notably in the nuclear industry wher ..."

"... Abstract Radiotherapy (RT), used for the treatment of cancers, such as lung cancer, lymphoma, breast cancer, bone marrow transplantation, and esophageal cancer, causes the exposure of lungs to radiation. Since the lungs are very sensitive to ionizing radiation, radiation-induced lung diseases due t ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors were effective in preventing radiation-induced lung injury in some animal studies, this result was confirmed clinically by a few studies. Its mechanism of action is not clear, but it was suggested that this result could result from their vasodilator effect on the vessel wall
