Value of volumetric data acquisition in expiratory high-resolution computed tomography of the lung.
The purpose of this study is to determine the potential advantages of volumetric expiratory high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) over noncontiguous expiratory HRCT in visualizing the airway conducting to the areas of air trapping and in providing additional significant information in patients with diffuse lung disease with small airway abnormalities. ⋯ Volumetric expiratory HRCT allows for better identification of the airway conducting to the areas of air trapping compared with noncontiguous images as well as additional findings of diagnostic significance.

Magnetic resonance imaging of bowel ischemia induced by ligation of superior mesenteric artery and vein in a cat model.
To assess the usefulness of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for detecting bowel ischemia with strangulation compared with histopathologic findings in an experimental cat model. ⋯ Delayed contrast-enhanced MR images and T2-weighted images were helpful for detecting subacute and acute bowel ischemia with strangulation, respectively.
