(7) Technetium-99m (V)DMSA has been demonstrated in this study to be a useful imaging agent in patients with MCT, showing uptake in significantly more lesions and with better imaging qualities than [131I]MIBG, and with the ability to detect soft tissue as well as bony metastases.
(8) Much more recently, use of modern CT ("computed tomography") scanning equipment on the London Archaeopteryx's skull has enabled scientists to reconstruct the whole of its bony brain case - and so model the structure of the brain itself.
(9) A major limitation of 3-D CT is its inability to reconstruct the pathology of soft tissues with the same fidelity afforded bony structures.
(10) The diagnosis of cervical injuries may be facilitated by following a logical pattern of analysis searching for abnormalities of alignment and anatomy, of bony integrity, of the cartilage or joint spaces, and of the soft tissues.
(11) All lesions but one were located extradurally, and patients with Stage D2 disease, by virtue of bony metastases, were therefore at greatest risk for development of neurologically compressive disease.
(12) A study was undertaken to assess whether CT measurements of the upper craniofacial skeleton accurately represent the bony region imaged.
(13) Three dimensional images reconstructed from two dimensional CT scans allow improved analysis of complex orbitocranial bony deformities.
(14) The utility of computerized tomography of the chest, in addition to the chest roentgenogram, in assessing the bony involvement of the thoracic tumor is illustrated.
(15) The value of unenhanced CT essentially is limited to the demonstration of bony changes.
(16) Applying the principles of mechanics, the authors have studied and compared the bony structures of the temporo-mandibular joint.
(17) However, separation of the capsule from the bony glenoid can be detected if a joint effusion is present to adequately distend the joint.
(18) Sixty-three per cent of the implants were operated in immediately after tooth extraction, whereas the rest were installed in a healed bony alveolar ridge.
(19) From the survey of another 21 patients having bony abnormalities at the craniovertebral junction, the first type of arterial anomaly described above was seen in 4 patients and associated with failure of segmentation of the embryonic sclerotome such as occipitalization of the atlas or Klippel-Feil syndrome.
(20) Five patients were found to have biopsy-proved extramedullary plasmacytomas without extension from an underlying bony focus.
Ganoine
Definition:
(n.) A peculiar bony tissue beneath the enamel of a ganoid scale.
Example Sentences:
(1) The lack of dentin in lepidotrichia emphasizes the tendency during evolution toward the reduction of some dermoskeletal components and exemplifies ganoine deposition directly on top of the bone as in holostei scales.
(2) Two novel pyrrole alkaloids--ganoine and ganodine and a novel purine alkaloid ganoderpurine have been isolated from the mycelium of Ganoderma capense (Lloyd)Teng (Polyporaceae) obtained by submerged fermentation.
(3) The outer region is the superficial part of the mature scale (called here osteodentin), which is covered by the ganoine deposited by the epidermal cells.
(4) In order to understand the process of ganoine formation on the ganoid scales, scale regeneration has been studied to overcome the lack of a growth series of scale ontogeny.
(5) This layer is interpreted as "anti-slip pad" or elastic glue anchoring the epidermis on the hypermineralized ganoine.
(6) An irregular patch of ganoine susceptible to erosion by vascular canals lies on top of the cellular bone of the upper surface of the segment.
(7) This layer is progressively mineralized; and finally an organic intermediate layer differentiates between the ganoine, which is a hyper-mineralized tissue, and the overlying epidermis.
(8) On the basis of spectroscopic data their structures were elucidated, ganoine is N-isopentyl-5-hydroxymethyl-pyrryl alldehyde.
(9) Numerous alterations of the epidermal-dermal boundary occur until its disappearance and a thick layer of pre-ganoine is formed.
(10) Consequently, our results allow us to propose that ganoine can be identified as true enamel, although additional data are necessary to analyze the proteinaceous component or its organic matrix.
(11) The components studied are the ganoine-covered lepidotrichia segments and the distally located actinotrichia, the features of which are similar to those in teleosts.
(12) This ultrastructural study demonstrates rather unequivocally the involvement of the inner epidermal layer (IEL) in the appearance and growth of the ganoine.
