Generación y Validación de algoritmos para la obtención de la temperatura de la superficie terrestre utilizando técnicas de Teledetección en el infra…
2014
La temperatura de superficie terrestre, LST (por sus siglas en inglés), es uno de los principales parámetros en el estudio de balance energético y de masa entre la atmosfera y el suelo, en particular, en la estimación de la evapotranspiración y el estrés hídrico que pueda sufrir la vegetación (Hall et al, 1992; Sellers, et al., 1995; Anderson, et al., 1997; Sánchez, et al. 2008). Además, la LST es necesaria como dato inicial en modelos de predicción meteorológica (Barton, et al. 1989; Gouturbe, et al. 1993), evaluación de daños provocados por las heladas (Caselles y Sobrino 1989), y detección de incendios forestales (Calle, et al. 2005), entre otros muchos. La LST puede considerarse también…

CT angiography for the assessment of EVAR complications : a pictorial review
2022
Aortic aneurysm; Blood vessel prosthesis implantation; Endovascular procedures Aneurisma aórtico; Implantación de prótesis de vasos sanguíneos; Procedimientos endovasculares Aneurisma aòrtic; Implantació de pròtesis de vasos sanguinis; Procediments endovasculars Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive treatment proposed as an alternative to open repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. EVAR consists in a stent-graft placement within the aorta in order to exclude the aneurysm from arterial circulation and reduce the risk of rupture. Knowledge of the various types of devices is mandatory because some stents/grafts are more frequently associated with complication…
Multirotations-CT und ARDS
2001
Purpose Aim of the study was to investigate alveolar inspiration and expiration using multiscan CT. Results of a visual assessment using a scoring system were compared with density ranges known to represent alveolar ventilation best. Method Pigs were examined before and after lavage-induced ARDS. All animals were examined using dynamic multiscan CT. The visual assessment was done by a scoring system proposed by Gattinoni. The results were compared with planimetric determination of defined density ranges. Results In the healthy lung, the visual analysis showed higher scores at lower airway pressures with a marked gradient, whereas at higher pressures neither opacities nor gradients were obse…
Software zur automatischen Quantifizierung von Belüftungszuständen bei akutem Lungenversagen in dynamischen CT-Aufnahmen der Lunge1
2001
Purpose: Density measurements in dynamic CT image series of the lungs allow one to quantify ventilated, hyperinflated, and atelectatic pulmonary compartments with high temporal resolution. Fast automatic segmentation of lung parenchyma and a subsequent evaluation of it's respective density values are a prerequisite for any clinical application of this technique. Material and Methods: For automatic lung segmentation in thoracic CT scans, an algorithm was developed which uses (a) different density masks, and (b) anatomic knowledge to differentiate heart, diaphragm and chest wall from ventilated and atelectatic lung parenchyma. With Animal Care Committee approval, the automated technique was t…
The “central dot sign” in acute epiploic appendagitis
2018
Epiploic appendagitis is the acute inflammation and infarction of epiploic appendages, commonly secondary to torsion. It is a great mimicker as its clinical manifestation may be similar to appendicitis, diverticulitis, or colitis. Focal abdominal pain, tenderness, and mild pyrexia are clinical features of the condition [1]. Epiploic appendages are pedunculated adipose structures which extend from the serosal surface of the colon, along the free taenia and taenia omentalis. They are abundant in the caecum and sigmoid colon and absent in the rectum
Intestinal tuberculosis in a child living in a country with a low incidence of tuberculosis : a case report
2014
Background: Relatively common in adults, intestinal tuberculosis is considered rare in children and adolescents. The protean manifestations of intestinal tuberculosis mean that the diagnosis is often delayed (sometimes even for years), thus leading to increased mortality and unnecessary surgery. The main diagnostic dilemma is to differentiate intestinal tuberculosis and Crohn’s disease because a misdiagnosis can have dramatic consequences. Case presentation: A 13-year-old Caucasian, Italian female adolescent attended the Emergency Department complaining of abdominal pain, a fever of up to 38°C, night sweats, diarrhea with blood in stool, and a weight loss of about three kilograms over the p…
Giant hepatocellular adenoma as cause of severe abdominal pain: a case report
2007
Abstract The authors describe the case of a large hepatocellular adenoma diagnosed in a 30-year old woman who came to us complaining of acute pain in the upper abdominal quadrants. The patient had been taking an oral contraceptive pill for the last ten years. We present the clinical features, the diagnostic work-up and the treatment prescribed.
Abel transforms with low regularity with applications to X-ray tomography on spherically symmetric manifolds
2017
We study ray transforms on spherically symmetric manifolds with a piecewise $C^{1,1}$ metric. Assuming the Herglotz condition, the X-ray transform is injective on the space of $L^2$ functions on such manifolds. We also prove injectivity results for broken ray transforms (with and without periodicity) on such manifolds with a $C^{1,1}$ metric. To make these problems tractable in low regularity, we introduce and study a class of generalized Abel transforms and study their properties. This low regularity setting is relevant for geophysical applications.
