  • We report a unique case of a neonate with an epidural hematoma induced by vacuum extraction. The epidural hematoma, communicating with a cephalhematoma through a linear skull fracture, disappeared after ultrasound-guided needle aspiration. The patient quickly recovered and one month later computed tomography revealed a complete resolution of the epidural hematoma.

  • Purpose: Brain surface intensity model (BSIM)-based cortical thickness analysis does not require complicated 3D segmentation of brain gray/white matters. Instead, this technique uses the local intensity profile to compute cortical thickness. The aim of the present study was to evaluate intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of BSIM-based cortical thickness analysis using images from elderly participants. Materials and Methods: Fifteen healthy elderly participants (ages, 55-84 years) were included in this study. High-resolution 3D T1-spoiled gradient recalled-echo (SPGR) images were obtained using 3T MRI. BSIM-based processing steps included an inhomogeneity correction, intensity normalization, skull stripping, atlas registration, extraction of intensity profiles, and calculation of cortical thickness. Processing steps were automatic, with the exception of semiautomatic skull stripping. Individual cortical thicknesses were compared to a database indicating mean cortical thickness of healthy adults, in order to produce Z-score thinning maps. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated in order to evaluate inter-rater and intra-rater reliabilities. Results: ICCs for intra-rater reliability were excellent, ranging from 0.751-0.940 in brain regions except the right occipital, left anterior cingulate, and left and right cerebellum (ICCs = 0.65-0.741). Although ICCs for inter-rater reliability were fair to excellent in most regions, poor inter-rater correlations were observed for the cingulate and occipital regions. Processing time, including manual skull stripping, was $17.07{\pm}3.43min$. Z-score maps for all participants indicated that cortical thicknesses were not significantly different from those in the comparison databases of healthy adults. Conclusion: BSIM-based cortical thickness measurements provide acceptable intra-rater and inter-rater reliability. We therefore suggest BSIM-based cortical thickness analysis as an adjunct clinical tool to detect cortical atrophy.

  • In this paper, we proposed automatic extraction of brain tumor using morphological operation and statistical tumors size in MR images. Neurosurgery have used gamma-knife therapy by MR images. However, the gamma-knife plan systems needs the brain tumor regions, because gamma-ray should intensively radiate to the brain tumor except for normal cells. Therefore, gamma-knife plan systems spend too much time on designating the tumor regions. In order to reduce the time of designation of tumors, we progress the automatical extraction of tumors using proposed method. The proposed method consist of two steps. First, the information of skull at MRI slices remove using statistical tumors size. Second, the ROI is extracted by tumor feature and average of tumors size. The detection of tumor is progressed using proposed and threshold method. Moreover, in order to compare the effeminacy of proposed method, we compared snap-shot and results of proposed method.

  • We describe a case of intracranial carotid artery occlusion due to penetrating craniofacial injury by high velocity foreign body that was relieved by decompressive surgery. A 46-year-old man presented with a penetrating wound to his face. A piece of an electric angular grinder disc became lodged in the anterior skull base. Computed tomography revealed that the disc had penetrated the unilateral paraclinoid and suprasellar areas without flow of the intracranial carotid artery on the lesion side. The cavernous sinus was also compromised. Removal of the anterior clinoid process reopened the carotid blood flow, and the injection of glue into the cavernous sinus restored complete hemostasis during extraction of the fragment from the face. Digital subtraction angiography revealed complete recanalization of the carotid artery without any evidence of dissection. Accurate diagnosis regarding the extent of the compromised structures and urgent decompressive surgery with adequate hemostasis minimized the severity of penetrating damage in our patient.

  • In clinical practice, CT Angiography is a powerful technique for the visualziation of blood flow in arterial vessels throughout the body. However CT Angiography images of blood vessels anywhere in the body may be fuzzy if the patient moves during the exam. In this paper, we propose a novel technique for removing global motion artifacts in the 3D space. The proposed methods are based on the two key ideas as follows. First, the method involves the extraction of a set of feature points by using a 3D edge detection technique based on image gradient of the mask volume where enhanced vessels cannot be expected to appear, Second, the corresponding set of feature points in the contrast volume are determined by correlation-based registration. The proposed method has been successfully applied to pre- and post-contrast CTA brain dataset. Since the registration for motion correction estimates correlation between feature points extracted from skull area in mask and contrast volume, it offers an accelerated technique to accurately visualize blood vessels of the brain.

  • 현재 사용되고 있는 두뇌영상의 제거 방법은 비록 환자의 개인 정보를 보호하고 있으나, 과도한 제거로 정확한 두뇌영상의 무결성을 손실할 수 있다. 원래 두뇌의 영상과 동일한 두뇌 조직을 나타내면서 환자의 신원을 감출 수 있는 새로운 익명화 얼굴모델을 생성시키는 방법을 연구하였다. 제안방법은 두 단계로 구성되었다: 10명의 두뇌영상을 정규화시켜서 모조 두뇌 표본 영상을 생성하는 단계와 실험영상 두뇌의 외곽부를 모조 두뇌의 안면부로 대체시키는 단계이다. 전체 두뇌영상에서 두피와 두개골 영역을 분할하기 위하여 레벨셋 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 영역화된 모조 두뇌를 대상 두뇌영상에 동일하게 배치하고 정규화를 시켜서 익명화된 얼굴 모델을 생성하였다. 원래 영상과 변형된 영상의 두뇌 조직부의 밝기 변화를 비교하여 제안 알고리즘의 타당성을 실험하였다. 실험 결과 두 두뇌영상은 두뇌 조직에서 완전히 동일하면서 신원을 파악할 수 없는 것을 검증하였다.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 환자의 머리 위치에 따른 파노라마방사선사진의 수평 및 수직 확대율을 비교 평가하는 것이었다. 직경 4 mm인 금속구를 건조 두개골의 하악 전치부와 우측 대구치부의 치조골 상방에 위치시켰다. 수평 및 수직적 위치의 변화를 재현하기 위해 수직, 수평 이동량을 조절할 수 있는 두개골 고정장치를 이용하여, 전방, 후방, 좌측 및 우측으로 이동시킨 후 파노라마방사선사진을 OP-100D를 이용하여 획득하였다. 촬영된 영상은 DICOM 형식으로 저장되었고, INFINITT PACS software를 이용하여 금속구의 폭과 높이의 평균값을 구하였다. 적절한 위치에서 촬영된 파노라마방사선사진에서 금속구의 수평 확대율은 1.224-1.439였고, 수직 확대율은 1.286-1.345였다. 건조 두개골의 위치 변화에 따른 수평 확대율은 0.798-6.297로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보인 반면(P<0.05), 수직 확대율은 1.245-1.418 정도로 수평 확대율에 비해 차이를 보이지 않았다.

  • 모상건막하 혈종은 주로 진공흡인기 혹은 겸자 등을 사용하는 보조 질식분만 과정에서 발생하는 바, 비보조 질식분만과정에 발생하는 예는 드물다. 또한 선천성 근긴장성 이영양증과 모상건막하 혈종의 동시 발생은 희귀한 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 비보조 질식분만 과정에서 모상건막하 혈종이 발생하였고, 이후 선천성 근긴장성 이영양증으로 진단된 증례를 경험한바, 이는 선천성 근긴장성 이영양증에서 발생한 비보조 질식분만 과정과 관련된 모상건막하 혈종의 첫 증례인 것으로 판단되어 보고하고자 한다. 본 아동은 임신 기간 중 양수과다증과 태동의 저하를 보였으며, 출생직후 촬영한 뇌컴퓨터단층촬영 상좌측 두정부 및 후두부에 모상건막하 혈종이 발견되었으며 생후 2개월에 모계에서 유전된 선천성 근긴장성 이영양증으로 진단되었다.

  • A 10-year-old, intact female Yorkshire terrier was presented with right side facial swelling for 3 days and periocular swelling had progressed over the last 24 hours. On physical examination, periocular and infraorbital swelling were observed around right maxillary region. Severe ocular discharge and protrusion of the 3rd eyelid were observed. The patient was diagnosed as periapical abscess around the root of right upper first molar based on the skull radiography. Affected tooth was extracted using closed technique. Systemic corticosteroid and antibiotic were administrated and topical corticosteroid/antibiotic combination was applied to the right eye six times a day for 10 days. Ten days after tooth extraction, clinical signs were disappeared completely.
