The pelvis and femur of Ardipithecus ramidus: the emergence of upright walking.

30 Sep 2009 The femur and pelvis of Ardipithecus ramidus have characters indicative of both upright bipedal walking and movement in trees. Consequently, bipedality in Ar. ramidus was more primitive than in later Australopithecus. Compared with monkeys and Early ... Read more...

Costochondritis: diagnosis and treatment.

13 Sep 2009 Costochondritis, an inflammation of costochondral junctions of ribs or chondrosternal joints of the anterior chest wall, is a common condition seen in patients presenting to the physician's office and emergency department. Palpation of the affected ... Read more...

Small field-of-view cardiac SPECT can be implemented on hybrid SPECT/CT platforms where data acquisition and reconstruction are guided by CT.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: Image truncation in nuclear medicine is a common problem that can lead to artifacts in reconstructed images. We evaluate a modified single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) acquisition and ... Read more...
