Purpose: To quantify the contribution of a computed tomography (CT) scan to navigation accuracy in computer-assisted surgery. Methods: Eighty-eight patients undergoing computer-assisted facial or skull-base surgery were fitted preoperatively with 4 to 12 markers, either attached to the skin (n β«Ψβ¬ 2

Background. The detection of synchronous tumors, whether they be second primaries or distant metastases, in patients with head and neck carcinoma drastically affects prognosis and may alter management. Computerized tomographic (CT) scanning of the chest is an effective screening investigation in thi
## Abstract βWhen one admits that nothing is certain one must, I think, also admit that some things are much more nearly certain than others.β Bertrand Russell (1872β1970) Computed tomography (CT) is one of the largest contributors to manβmade radiation doses in medical populations. CT currently a
## Background: Positron emission tomography (pet) is a nuclear imaging technique providing noninvasive, three-dimensional, whole-body, quantitative images. the primary use of pet is in tumor detection and staging. more recently, it has been shown to be of value in assessing patients with inflammato
