RESUMEN

A new object tracking mask-based novel-look-up-table (OTM-NLUT) method is proposed and implemented on graphics-processing-units (GPUs) for real-time generation of holographic videos of three-dimensional (3-D) scenes. Since the proposed method is designed to be matched with software and memory structures of the GPU, the number of compute-unified-device-architecture (CUDA) kernel function calls and the computer-generated hologram (CGH) buffer size of the proposed method have been significantly reduced. It therefore results in a great increase of the computational speed of the proposed method and enables real-time generation of CGH patterns of 3-D scenes. Experimental results show that the proposed method can generate 31.1 frames of Fresnel CGH patterns with 1,920 × 1,080 pixels per second, on average, for three test 3-D video scenarios with 12,666 object points on three GPU boards of NVIDIA GTX TITAN, and confirm the feasibility of the proposed method in the practical application of electro-holographic 3-D displays.

RESUMEN

The purpose of this study was to evaluate intratumoral cystic lesions of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) depicted on MRI, and to correlate these cystic lesions with their histopathological findings. This study included 12 patients (7 males and 5 females; mean age, 59 years) with intratumoral cystic lesions of PDAC detected on a retrospective MRI review. We reviewed the histopathological findings of the cystic lesions within PDACs and analysed the MRI findings, focusing on the appearance of the intratumoral cystic lesions, i.e. the size, number, margin and intratumoral location, and on the ancillary findings of PDAC, i.e. peripancreatic infiltration, upstream pancreatic duct dilatation and distal parenchymal atrophy. Intratumoral cystic lesions were classified as neoplastic mucin cysts (n = 7, 58%) or cystic necrosis (n = 5, 42%) according to the histopathological findings; they ranged in greatest dimension from 0.5 cm to 3.4 cm (mean, 1.7 cm). Seven patients had only one cystic lesion each, while the remaining five had multiple cystic lesions. Most of the neoplastic mucin cysts had smooth margins (n = 6, 86%) and eccentric locations (n = 6), whereas most cystic necroses had irregular margins (n = 4, 80%) and centric locations (n = 4). The most common ancillary findings of PDAC were peripancreatic infiltration, distal pancreatic atrophy and upstream pancreatic duct dilatation (92%, 75% and 58%, respectively). The intratumoral cystic lesions of PDACs on MRI were classified as either neoplastic mucin cysts with smooth margins and eccentric locations or cystic necroses with irregular margins and centric locations.

RESUMEN

Pancreatic pseudocyst-portal vein fistulae are a very rare complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Another late complication of chronic pancreatitis is pancreatic ascites. We report the case of a 43-year-old man with a spontaneous pseudocyst-portal vein fistula presenting with pancreatic ascites diagnosed by various imaging modalities, in order to emphasize the strength and efficacy of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.

RESUMEN

Giant colonic diverticulum is a very rare entity in colonic diverticular disease and is characterized by a high rate of complications such as perforation, abscess formation and even carcinoma. We report a case of a complicated giant diverticulum of the transverse colon accompanied by a right inguinal hernia of the greater omentum in a 52-year-old man, as demonstrated on CT.

RESUMEN

Sclerosing lipogranuloma is a rare, benign disease which is a peculiar granulomatous reaction of fatty tissue. This disease affects multiple organs and the majority of cases are secondary to exogenous foreign bodies. The authors report a case of primary sclerosing lipogranuloma of the rectum mimicking a submucosal rectal tumour.

RESUMEN

Two adult patients with histopathologically proved cavernous lymphangiomas and one adult patient with lymphangiomas of strongly presumed cavernous type by cytologic and computed tomographic findings are reported. On computed tomograms, multiple, aggregated, small, and tiny cysts without a solid portion, along the lymphatic channels are characteristic computed tomographic findings for cavernous lymphangiomas.

RESUMEN

Gastric teratomas are extremely rare neoplasms and almost exclusively benign. They occur predominantly in males and generally present as a palpable abdominal mass. To our knowledge, only one adult case has been described in the Korean literature. We report a case in which an immature gastric teratoma in a 3-month-old boy was revealed by CT and US.
