Computed tomography (CT) is the modality of choice for imaging the lungs in vivo. Sub-
millimeter isotropic images of the lungs can be obtained within seconds, allowing the …

Boyden's nomenclature, which was based on postmortem specimens and published in 1955
prior to the advent of computed tomography (CT), is commonly used to describe the normal …

Rationale and Objectives: Pulmonary interlobar fissures are important landmarks for proper
identification of normal pulmonary anatomy and evaluation of disease. The purpose of this …

Background: Malposition of percutaneously inserted chest tubes is considered as a rare
complication in critically ill patients. Its incidence, however, remains uncertain. The aims of …

In medical image processing, many filters have been developed to enhance certain
structures in 3-D data. In this paper, we propose to use pattern recognition techniques to …

The azygos lobe (AL) is an accessory lobe of the right lung with prevalence between 0.4 and
1.2%. The aim of the present review is to provide a better estimate of the frequency of the AL …

The purpose of this study was to use volumetric, 1.25 mm collimation MDCT read as
softcopy and using a 2D and 3D viewer tool, to establish the frequency of normal and …

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to classify the accessory fissures of the lung and
to assess their frequency by using high-resolution CT. Methods and patients: HRCT scans of …

Detailed knowledge of variations in the lobes and fissures of the lungs is important for
radiologists to be able to correctly interpret radiological images and also for clinicians in …

Introduction Refinements in the modern computed tomography (CT) imaging techniques
have led to anatomical variations in the fissures of lung being diagnosed more frequently …
