Experimental Study on Gas Permeability Semiempirical Model of Granite after Heat Treatment by Jinquan Wu

“…To explore the effects of temperature on permeability and microstructure of rock microstructure, the granite after 50–800 C thermal treatment was carried out by gas permeability test, combined with computed tomography (CT) scanning technology. The granite internal three-dimensional reconstruction was conducted after high-temperature thermal treatment, and the characteristics of the microstructure were also deeply analyzed. …”

Magnetic Resonance Enterography: The Test of Choice in Diagnosing Intestinal “Zebras” by Anjali S. Kumar, Jasna Coralic, Reid Vegeler, Kirthi Kolli, John Liang, Allison Estep, Allen P. Chudzinski, James D. McFadden

“…In this retrospective case series, we discuss four patients with four rare intestinal disorders that were successfully diagnosed using MRE after failing to be diagnosed using more routine technologies, such as CT scans and flexible sigmoidoscopies. With the discussion of these four cases we demonstrate that MRE is a useful diagnostic modality in patients whose surveillance is difficult or to diagnose rare colorectal disease phenomena, colloquially referred to as “zebras.”…”
