Of 242 adult allogeneic HSCT patients who received voriconazole, 32 patients developed musculoskeletal pain and underwent subsequent serum fluoride measurement. Of those, 31 patients had a plasma fluoride measurement while on voriconazole. Twenty-nine (93.5%) had elevated fluoride concentrations (> 4 Î¼mol/L).
He was 84. The first CT machine took nine days to scan an object. Processing the information by computer then took 21 hours. Despite such formidable obstacles, researchers were undaunted.Hounsfield conceived the idea for a CAT scanner in 1967. By 1972, he had built a machine that produced detailed cross-sectional images of the brain in less than five minutes.
Nevertheless, both CAT and CT scans refer to the same type of diagnostic examination. It just so happened that one term was used earlier, and the other was only recently coined as the more acceptable term. CT scan is the newer term, while CAT scan is the older term. The CT scan is completely known as âComputed Tomographyâ, while CAT scan, in full, is âComputed Axial Tomographyâ. In some references, CAT can also be the acronym for âcomputerized axial tomographyâ, but it still refers to the same thing.
