After Harvey's velocity dropped to 87 miles per hour and he complained of a tired arm Wednesday, he underwent a magnetic resonance imaging examination and a computerized tomography scan Thursday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, and the shoulder injury was revealed.

Many doctors advise older adults who are current or former smokers to get annual lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) based on a pivotal 269 trial reporting 25 percent lower lung cancer mortality rates than when screening was done with chest x-rays.

Mike Ryan, head of WHO's health emergencies program, said more than 14,000 new cases reported in Hubei province on Thursday came after a change to include results from quicker computerized tomography (CT) scans that reveal lung infections, rather than relying just on laboratory tests to confirm cases.

Mike Ryan, head of WHO's health emergencies programme, said that more than 14,000 new cases reported in Hubei province overnight came after a change to include results from quicker computerised tomography (CT) scans that reveal lung infections, rather than relying just on laboratory tests to confirm cases.

Vessels of a Pig EyeCredit: Peter M Maloca, OCTlab at the University of Basel and Moorfields Eye Hospital, London; Christian Schwaller; Ruslan Hlushchuk, University of Bern; Sébastien BarréUsing computed tomography (CT) and 3D printing, researchers from Switzerland created this unique look at blood vessels within a pig's eye.

In the former scenario, the deep learning algorithm—which was trained on computed tomography scans of people with lung cancer, without it, and with nodules turned cancerous, the New York Times reported—had a higher identification rate than six radiologists, and in the latter, the humans and machine were even.

Those strategies were undergoing colonoscopy every 10 years; a computed tomography colonography or "virtual colonoscopy" every five years; a flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years; a multitarget stool DNA test every three years; a take-home fecal immunochemical test annually; or a take-home high-sensitivity guaiac fecal occult blood test annually.

The researchers—Dara Orbach, a research associate at Mount Holyoke College, and Patricia Brennan, an assistant professor of biology—autopsied 11 female dolphins that died of natural causes, dissected their reproductive organs, created 3D tomography (CT) scans of their vaginas, and fixed the tissue in paraffin wax so they could examine their structures.

As we first reported in July of last year, since 2017 the TSA has been testing a new type of baggage scanner at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, and over a dozen others around the country, that uses computed tomography, or CT, to image a bag's contents in three dimensions.

A team of researchers and Egyptologists from the University of Basel, the University of Zurich and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo used the latest technology in X-rays, computer tomography and microscopy to take a closer look at the prosthetic, which has been kept at the Cairo museum since its discovery in 1997.

Using a panoply of new exploratory technologies, some borrowed from medicine, with complicated names such as fiber optic reflectance spectroscopy, macro X-ray powder diffraction and optical coherence tomography, the museum hopes to harvest all kinds of data about the "Girl," as everyone at the museum simply calls her, to explore her inner life.

They calculated the shear-wave velocity of the caldera's internal structure using the historical earthquake tomography data (a technique in which x-rays are used to display a cross-section through a solid body, like the Earth's crust), where high shear-wave velocity indicated low amplification of seismic waves and low shear-wave velocity represented areas experiencing intense amplification.

"At Ben-Gurion, we have been operating an HBS - Hold Baggage Screening - system for the past two years that examines 100 percent of the baggage of departing passengers ... it works on the same principle as medical CT scans," Schiff said, referring to computerized tomography that combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles.
