Brain studies--image co-registration and template creation.

Image co-registration requires special software, which is usually available for Unix workstations. This work presents two programs running under MS Windows, one for study co-registration and one for template creation. The co-registration can be done by minimising/maximising the count difference, squared difference, shape and mutual information. The quality of the fit can be estimated by evaluating the contours with different tools. The aligned images can be used for template creation. Both programs can be downloaded from http://www.homolka.cz/nm.

[Diagnosis of supravalvular aortic stenosis using 2-dimensional echocardiography].

In 13 children supravalvular aortic stenosis was diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography on the basis of a diminished inner diameter of the aorta in the supravalvular region "d2" compared with the inner diameter of the aortic annulus "d1". The differences in the values of "d2" and "d1" were only on the border of statistical significance. The difference in the d2/d1 ratio between the group of patients and healthy controls was statistically significant (p less than 0.001). Two-dimensional echocardiography is a very sensitive method for diagnosing supravalvular aortic stenosis. This sensitivity has been confirmed also by detecting the diminished inner diameter of the aorta in the supravalvular region in children with Williams-Beuren syndrome without clinical signs of a heart defect.
