DEGREE OF DIFFERENTIATION OF CUTANEOUS SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA: A COMPARISON BETWEEN A SWEDISH COHORT OF ORGAN TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS AND IMMUNOCOMPETENT PATIENTS

Degree of differentiation of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: a comparison between a Swedish cohort of organ transplant recipients and immunocompetent patients

Background: Organ transplant recipients (OTRs) have a Switch Blade Opener very high risk of developing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC).Immunosuppressed OTRs may have a higher proportion of poorly differentiated cSCC than non-OTRs.Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the degree of differentiation of cSCCs in OTRs compared wi

Metal Artifact Reduction in Dental CBCT Images Using Direct Sinogram Correction Combined with Metal Path-Length Weighting

Metal artifacts in dental computed tomography (CT) images, caused by highly X-ray absorbing objects, such as dental implants or crowns, often more severely compromise image readability than in medical CT images.Since lower tube voltages are used for dental CTs in spite of the more frequent presence of metallic objects in the patient, metal artifact
