Evaluation of Artery Visualizations for Heart Disease Diagnosis
Evaluation of Artery Visualizations for Heart Disease Diagnosis Michelle A. Borkin, Student Member, IEEE, Krzysztof Z. Gajos, Amanda Peters, Dimitrios Mitsouras, Simone Melchionna, Frank J. Rybicki, Charles L. Feldman, and Hanspeter Pfister, Senior Member, IEEE Fig. 1. Left: Traditional 2D projection (A) of a single artery, and 3D representation (C) of a right coronary artery tree with a rainbow color map. Right: 2D tree diagram representation (B) and equivalent 3D representation (D) of a left coronary artery tree with a diverging color map. Abstract—Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States, and finding indicators of the disease at an early stage is critical for treatment and prevention. In this paper we evaluate visualization techniques that enable the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. A key physical quantity of medical interest is endothelial shear stress (ESS). Low ESS has been associated with sites of lesion formation and rapid progression of disease in the coronary arteries. Having effective visualizations of a patient’s ESS data is vital for the quick and thorough non-invasive evaluation by a cardiologist. We present a task taxonomy for hemodynamics based on a formative user study with domain experts. Based on the results of this study we developed HemoVis, an interactive visualization application for heart disease diagnosis that uses a novel 2D tree diagram representation of coronary artery trees. We present the results of a formal quantitative user study with domain experts that evaluates the effect of 2D versus 3D artery representations and of color maps on identifying regions of low ESS. We show statistically significant results demonstrating that our 2D visualizations are more accurate and efficient than 3D representations, and that a perceptually appropriate color map leads to fewer diagnostic mistakes than a rainbow color map. -
Threatening External Iliac Vein Injury During Total Hip Arthroplasty

CASE REPORT Spinal Cord Infarction Following Endoscopic Variceal Ligation
Spinal Cord (2008) 46, 241–242 & 2008 International Spinal Cord Society All rights reserved 1362-4393/08 $30.00 www.nature.com/sc CASE REPORT Spinal cord infarction following endoscopic variceal ligation K Tofuku, H Koga, T Yamamoto, K Yone and S Komiya Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kagoshima Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima, Japan Study design: A case report of spinal cord infarction following endoscopic variceal ligation. Objectives: To describe an exceedingly rare case of spinal cord infarction following endoscopic variceal ligation. Setting: Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kagoshima, Japan. Methods: A 75-year-old woman with cirrhosis caused by hepatitis C virus, who was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of esophageal varices, experienced numbness of the hands and lower extremities bilaterally following an endoscopic variceal ligation procedure. Sensory and motor dysfunction below C6 level progressed rapidly, resulting in inability to move the lower extremities the following day. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine revealed abnormal spinal cord signal on T2-weighted images from approximately C6 through T5 levels, which was diagnosed as spinal cord infarction. Results: The patient underwent hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Her symptoms and signs related to spinal cord infarction gradually remitted, and nearly complete disappearance of neurological deficits was noted within 3 months after the start of treatment. Conclusion: We speculate that the pathogenesis of the present case may have involved congestion of the abdominal–epidural–spinal cord venous network owing to ligation of esophageal varices and increased thoracoabdominal cavity pressure. Spinal Cord (2008) 46, 241–242; doi:10.1038/sj.sc.3102092; published online 19 June 2007 Keywords: endoscopic variceal ligation; hyperbaric oxygen; spinal cord infarction Introduction The spectrum of etiologies of spinal cord infarction is as On physical examination, her right upper extremity diverse as that for cerebral infarction. -
Anomalies of the Portal Venous System in Dogs and Cats As Seen on Multidetector-Row Computed Tomography: an Overview and Systematization Proposal

Congenital absence of the portal vein, portal vein hypoplasia, portal vein thrombosis and portal collaterals are described. Portal collaterals are further discussed as high- and low-flow connections and categorized in hepatic arterioportal malformation, arteriovenous fistula, end-to-side and side-to-side congenital portosystemic shunts, acquired portosystemic shunts, cavoportal and porto-portal collaterals. Knowledge of different portal system anomalies helps understand the underlying physiopathological mechanism and is essential for surgical and interventional approaches. Keywords: portal system; portal vein; portosystemic shunt; portal hypertension; computed tomography 1. Introduction The portal venous system is essential for the maintenance of the liver mass and function in mammals. The portal system collects blood from major abdominal organs (i.e., gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, spleen) delivering nutrients, bacteria and toxins from the intestine to the liver. In addition, the portal blood carries approximately from one-half to two-thirds of the oxygen supply to the liver and specific hepatotrophic factors [1,2]. The portal blood is detoxified by the hepatocytes and then delivered into the systemic circulation via the hepatic veins and caudal vena cava [3]. -

Blood Vessels
BLOOD VESSELS Blood vessels are how blood travels through the body. Whole blood is a fluid made up of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes), and plasma. It supplies the body with oxygen. SUPERIOR AORTA (AORTIC ARCH) VEINS & VENA CAVA ARTERIES There are two basic types of blood vessels: veins and arteries. Veins carry blood back to the heart and arteries carry blood from the heart out to the rest of the body. Factoid! The smallest blood vessel is five micrometers wide. To put into perspective how small that is, a strand of hair is 17 micrometers wide! 2 BASIC (ARTERY) BLOOD VESSEL TUNICA EXTERNA TUNICA MEDIA (ELASTIC MEMBRANE) STRUCTURE TUNICA MEDIA (SMOOTH MUSCLE) Blood vessels have walls composed of TUNICA INTIMA three layers. (SUBENDOTHELIAL LAYER) The tunica externa is the outermost layer, primarily composed of stretchy collagen fibers. It also contains nerves. The tunica media is the middle layer. It contains smooth muscle and elastic fiber. TUNICA INTIMA (ELASTIC The tunica intima is the innermost layer. MEMBRANE) It contains endothelial cells, which TUNICA INTIMA manage substances passing in and out (ENDOTHELIUM) of the bloodstream. 3 VEINS Blood carries CO2 and waste into venules (super tiny veins). The venules empty into larger veins and these eventually empty into the heart. The walls of veins are not as thick as those of arteries. Some veins have flaps of tissue called valves in order to prevent backflow. Factoid! Valves are found mainly in veins of the limbs where gravity and blood pressure VALVE combine to make venous return more 4 difficult. -
