A deep learning approach for automatic segmentation of ground-glass opacities and consolidation in small Chest-CT dataset
ABSTRACTGround-glass opacities (GGO) and consolidation are findings typically observed in pneumonia and other acute lung diseases. For radiologists, segmentation and analysis of GGO and consolidation on chest computed tomography (CT) images are critical to quantify...
Establishing an acquisition and processing protocol for resting state networks with a 1.5 T scanner: A case series in middle income countries.
AbstractObjective: The aim of this study was to characterize the capability of detection of the resting state networks (RSNs) with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in healthy subjects using a 1.5T scanner in a middle-income country.Materials and methods:...
Recovery of consciousness after a brainstem cavernous malformation hemorrhage: A descriptive study of preserved reticular activating system with tractography.
The Journal of Clinical Neuroscience in clinical study concludes that the use of tractography in patients with disorders of consciousness could provide useful additional information on prognosis.
Case of Study : Structural and functional connectivity of ascending reticular activating system in a patient with impaired consciousness after a cardiac arrest.
Dr. Marin and other physicians, in a case study raise about the structural and functional connectivity of ascending reticular activation system in a patient with impaired consciousness after a heart attack arrest.
Identification of Preoperative Language Tracts for Intrinsic Frontotemporal Diseases: A Pilot Reconstruction Algorithm in a Middle-Income Country
The Journal of World Neurosurgery in a case study concludes that the successful application of a safe, timely and affordable DTI tractography reconstruction algorithm to aid in planning of language pathways in intrinsic frontotemporal lesions and in postoperative evaluation of the integrity of the white matter of the tract.

Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the capability of detection of the resting state networks (RSNs) with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in healthy subjects using a 1.5T scanner in a middle-income country.Materials andmethods: Ten...
Protocol for Preoperative Subcortical Mapping with Fiber Tracking
Learning objectives: To describe seeding ROIs to reproduce the language fascicles separately for preoperative mapping with DTI tractography. Background: Tractography mapping for subcortical white matter fibers is nowadays worldwide available. However, a clear protocol...
Description of changes in the mean diffusibility in magnetic resonance imaging due to reticular system injuries
patients with severe traumatic brain injury can have severe neurological sequelae that generate disabilities of different ranges according to the Barthel scale. Altered state of consciousness It is the most serious sequel and is the cause of complete dependence of...
Glasgow Coma Scale Functional Neuroanatomy
The Glasgow Coma Scale (ECG) is a globally recognized scale for the classification of patients with traumatic brain injury according to their neurological compromise. This scale assesses eye opening, verbal response, and motor response. Functional neuroanatomy...
Identification of Preoperative Language Tracts for Intrinsic Frontotemporal Diseases: A Pilot Reconstruction Algorithm in a Middle-Income Country
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography provides useful information that can be used to optimize surgical planning and help avoid injury during subcortical dissection of eloquenttracts. The objectiveis to provide a safe,timely, and affordable algorithm for...
Malignant neuroleptic syndrome with central pontine myelinolysis
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a severe complication of antipsychotics, especially first-generation antipsychotics such as haloperidol, which was the first to describe this condition, characterized by fever, rigidity, altered state of consciousness, and...
