Olympics RADCast 2004

Aug 13, 2004

"Athletes of the world, welcome to Athens." With those words the Opening Ceremonies of the 28th Olympiad began. The pageantry and spectacle celebrated Greece's history -- a history which includes the origin of the Olympic Games around 776 B.C. Athletes from 202 nations marched into Olympic Stadium to the cheers of a nation that worked very hard to bring these Games to life. (Photo courtesy of Kodak and photographer Ron Wyatt.)

Example anteroposterior (AP) pelvic radiographs showing simulated acquisition artifacts used for stage 1 artifact-robust pretraining. Images are derived from the same AP pelvic radiograph from a 75-year-old woman with a CT- or MRI-confirmed left femoral-neck fracture. (A) Original AP pelvic radiograph. (B) Simulated grid or cable-shadow artifact. (C) Simulated motion-blur artifact. (D) Simulated sensor saturation or overexposure artifact.

Representative multimodal ultrasound and endoscopic images in participants with Crohn's disease. Top row depicts findings in a 26-year-old male participant with Crohn's disease in remission. Bottom row illustrates findings in a 25-year-old male participant with severe active Crohn's disease. The terminal ileum was the most prominently thickened bowel segment in both participants. Paired images comparing imaging modalities are shown. (A, F) Grayscale US images of the longitudinal section; arrows in A indicate the intestinal wall. (B, G) Color Doppler flow images of the longitudinal section; the box outlines the region of interest. In these two images, blue represents venous flow, while red represents arterial flow. (C, H) Conventional CEUS images of the longitudinal section. (D, I) Vascular density maps derived from super-resolution CEUS of the longitudinal section; arrows in D indicate the intestinal wall, and the outline in I indicates the measurement area for quantitative analysis. (E, J) Corresponding endoscopic images in the participants.
