The Role of Laparoscopy in the Management of a Diagnostic Dilemma: Jejunal Ectopic Pancreas Developing into Jejunojejunal Intussusception by Alessio Giordano, Giovanni Alemanno, Carlo Bergamini, Paolo Prosperi, Alessandro Bruscino, Andrea Valeri

“…Adult intussusception caused by EP represents 5% of all cases of intussusception. As CT scan, especially when performed in emergency setting for small bowel obstruction diagnosis, can usually demonstrate nondiagnostic findings suggestive of intussusception of unknown origin, laparoscopic exploration could help surgeons in order to perform a resolute diagnosis and treat the pathology.…”

Comprehensive Analysis of Alpha-Parametric Set for the Calculation of Intersection Lengths of Radiological Ray Path in Siddon's Algorithm Used in 3D Image Reconstruction by Adem Polat

“…These elements are used to calculate which voxels are hit by the ray along the radiological path and at what ratio, but it was recognized that some values of the set were zero, which means some rays did not intersect some voxels at all. This situation may lead to data loss in 3D image reconstructions in medical imaging such as digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and computed tomography (CT) especially for huge dimensions such as size up to 800×800×50. …”
