Since January 2004, something of very strange is happening to Canneto di Caronia, a small town located in Sicily, Italy.
Here's a quick list of the unexplained phenomena occurred so far in Canneto di Caronia: all stuff witnessed, reported, observed, caught on camera etc..
UFO sightings
TV, refrigerators, washing machines, mixers etc. that switch on by themselves.
Cell phones charging their batteries spontaneously, even when unplugged.
Boats, Cables, beds, sofas, chairs, cookers, vacuum cleaner, TV, refrigerators, washing machines, cables catching fire spontaneously, even when unplugged.
Air conditioners literally melting spontaneously
Car glasses imploding
Car glasses found with small, perfectly rounded holes, as being hit by some invisible bullets
Aubergines coloured like rainbows
Plants burst into flames selectively, on a squared area
Unexplained magnetic fields peaks detected
Pen drives getting erased spontaneously
Compasses … loosing their orientation
Automatic gates opening and closing randomly
Car alarms ringing with no reason, and randomly
Mysterious death of animals, both from ground and sea
…and the list continues, up to fill in a database containing 350 records about cases documented / witnessed / reported / caught on camera by common people, military, journalists, policemen etc..
Just to have an idea about the situation, you may want to know that the inhabitants (39 people) were evacuated for three months. And the phenomena continue, until today: even after ENEL, the Italian power utility, cut off the town's power supply the outbreaks continued.
On April 29th, 2005 the Italian government charged the region of Sicily to create a Task Force (composed among the others by high-ranking army officers, engineers, architects, geologists and physicists) in order to both investigate and monitor the situation in Canneto di Caronia, a very small village located in Sicily, 39 inhabitants whom experienced a long series of extremely strange phenomena: so far, the task force has NO CLUE what is going on there since January 2004: or, better, they know what's going on but they don't know why. What follows is the official truth (not to mention, of course, what the speculations are): the task force is the only group of study which had the opportunity to work on all the documentation available, so the independent analysis are based on incomplete data.
What the task force did:
Aerial Photo-Remote Sensing campaign by
Aeronautica Militare
Physical, Geo-Physical and Geo-Chemical data assessment campaign by National Geophysics and Volcanology institute
Oceanographic campaign by the boat "Galatea" from Water institute of Marina Militare on a wide sea area, in front of the coast of Canneto (magnetometry, Physical and Chemical parameters, sedimentology)
Detection and measurement campaign made with Geo radar
Magnetometric and Electro-magnetic fields detection and monitoring campaign by Marina Militare
Radio-electric spectrum monitoring campaign by the Ministry of Telecommunications and by the Regional Agency for the protection of the Environment - Sicily
Measurements of the environmental and meteo climatics parameters by Regional Meteo-Agricultural Institute - Sicily
Mapping of all the devices involved within the radio electric spectrum within a range of several Kilometres from Canneto, by Ministry of Telecommunications
Aerial detection, mapping and measurements of the total intensity of the ground magnetic field by National Geophysics and Volcanology institute on a wide area of side between Ustica e le and Aeolian Islands
See: Ordinanza del Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri n.3428 dell'aprile 2005
The official document with which the Italian government charged the region Sicily to create the Task Force.
(see location in Google Map).
Among the various experts, researchers, journalists, curios etcetera, even the Vatican's chief exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth added his two cents: "I've seen things like this before. Demons occupy a house and appear in electrical goods. Let's not forget that Satan and his followers have immense powers." Maybe a good chance to spare two cents was lost
Note to self: add "demoniac presences" to the list.
Given the complexity (and the length) of the story, I'd rather to focus to the Aliens & UFOs - related side of the story:
In 2007, the task force, after closing the investigations and monitoring, leaked an interim report which raised more questions instead of providing some answers: and the conclusion was that the "bizarre" events were "caused by hundreds of high-power electromagnetic emissions which were not man-made and reached a power between 12 and 15 gigawatts." Francesco Mantegna Venerando, Sicily's Civil Protection chief who co-ordinated the report, also said "This is just one possibility. We are also looking at another one which involves the testing of top-secret weapons by an unknown power which are also capable of producing an enormous amount of energy."
"This is not the final report. We are still working on our conclusions and this has been leaked," he concluded.
The aforementioned database is not yet available to US: in one of the videos I will provide, the chief ot the task force explains why.

I Misteri di Caronia (9:12 ) [ITA]
National RAI 2 – Voyager Report
A writer reports about the sightings by fishermen: she says that the spheres of light spotted coming out the sea were blue, and that they enlightened the sea surface for a while, before disappearing into the sea.
Interview with a resident (who prefers to remain anonymous) who caught on camera several spheres of light. He claims that when he goes to "hunt" for UFOs, he brings a compass: when he sees that the compass doesn't indicate the real north, he points the camera toward the direction indicated by the compass. In this way, he had a ratio of 10% success. Note: I usually don't take seriously anonymous sources, but in this case there are some valid reasons that make his decision perfectly understandable: closed-minded people is one of them. A woman, who has lost her animals (you can see her interview in another video), says that one night she woke up and saw "two small floating bright green lights, like two eyes looking at me": the writer says that many children of the area, coming from different families, reported their encounters with small grey beings, and that their descriptions wee almost identical. At the end, the coordinator of the Task-Force says that natural phenomena were ruled out basically because the natural sources parameter were normal during the events.
Gli incendi misteriosi di Canneto di Caronia
National RAI 2 TV report
TG2 Dossier – Canneto di Caronia (8:37)[ITA]
Some actual scenes of fires taking place at the presence of TV crews and fire-fighters. Interesting statement by a physicist member of the task-force: he says that one of the "electro-magnetic impulses" was some type of ray which travelled over the surface of the sea, at an altitude between 0 and 15 meters: he adds that its power may be compared with the one of the last electro-magnetic weapons developed by some super-powers BUT is characterized by a totally different course of action. A woman reports a huge silver UFO coming out from the sea: it was hovering "as if it was dancing" at an altitude of five meters, then disappeared above the car. Back to the physicist, he says that the absence of casualties has been just "a lucky coincidence". Some mattress burst into flames while a couple was sleeping on it. There's also an UNRELATED video from Hessdalen. Then they show four cameras that record, continuously 24/7, oriented toward N,S,W,E. Then, images of an Helicopter of Civil defence carrying instruments of the National Institute of geophysics and volcanology, and onboard a technician reveals that among other tasks, they are looking for some metallic submerged object.
Speciale Caronia a Verissimo (4:00) [ITA]
National Canale 5 TV report
Talks about the decision taken by the Magistrate to reopen the case after it was first closed with the motivation that the fires were "man made" by "unknowns"
Here we see actual scenes of fires taking place at the presence of TV crews, a cell phone "in charge" while unplugged, witnesses describing the boat which burst into flames and the mysterious death of animals, people who have lost everything, some pictures of UFOs, some descriptions of sightings, including a man describing a bright sphere hovering over the beach, then vanishing toward the islands with a progressively increasing acceleration, the president of the National UFO Centre saying that spheres of light have been sought hovering over the hills, over the beach, coming out from the sea, disappearing into the sea, many of them of size relative small.

Regional RAI TV report about UFOs activity in the area
NOTE: Super-crappy quality, never seen before
National RAI news 24 special, 12 parts
Canneto PT1 (2:46) [ITA]
Overview of the task force, with actual clips and first part of the interview with the coordinator of the task force: he makes a brief overview of the task force.
Canneto PT2 (2:38) [ITA]
Second part of the interview with actual clips and the second part of the interview with the coordinator of the task force: here he says that natural occurrences, Electric power transmission implants activities, rail transport activities, telecommunication systems etc. were conclusively ruled out. He also explains how the ministry of telecommunication conducted a census of all the transmitters, transmission media and receivers within a range of 5 Km. (approx. 3 miles), and after each one was checked no anomalies were detected. And he adds that continuous investigations were made with boats, helicopters and vehicles equipped with special instruments in order to detect electric, magnetic, geo-magnetic anomalies.
Canneto PT3 (2:46) [ITA]
The interview continues: here he explains how something of incredibly powerful, not man made but with all the indication of being artificial in origin, hit the town with some "magnetic impulses" that MUST have been generated by something, but this something is neither natural nor human made. He concludes saying that further investigations will be made and more reports will be leaked as well. Interview with a writer, Adriano Angelini, and the general secretary of the National UFO centre (CUN), Vladimiro Bibolotti.
The writer talks about his book, a Novel: interesting reading in which he mentions phenomena actually happened in Canneto.
Canneto PT4 (2:41) [ITA]
What's really interesting is that the writer went to Canneto and talked with the inhabitants: he reports that most of them are convinced that behind the events there must be some top-secret military weapon tests, and talks about his own surprise when he learnt that the task-force mentioned aliens as possible explanation, or some ultra top-secret military weapon. (Note: it's important to notice that both army and secret services were investigating in the area among the others). The writer also guesses that in case it was some military weapon test, it would make sense the choice of that place, since it's inhabited but just by a few people and remote enough (meaning reduced general risks).
Canneto PT5 (2:49) [ITA]
The writer also reports to have heard many witnesses telling him stories even more scaring than the ones reported by media. The anchorman asks to the coordinator of the Task-force if the phenomena are still taking place. The answer is that the "critical phase" has finished, but the phenomena continue: just with less frequency. Here he adds that this makes the military theory unlikely: after the clamour raised world wide, with experts, TV crew, independent investigators and the task-force in place they would have most likely at least interrupted, if not ceased at all, every test: but the strange phenomena continued, even in presence of all the aforementioned people, plus their monitoring instruments. He also adds that the international specialists in weapons within the task force are aware of electro-magnetic weapons, but nothing even close to what may have generated the phenomena.
Canneto PT6 (2:58) [ITA]
Here it gets interesting: the journalist ask to the coordinator of the task force why aliens were mentioned in the report. The coordinator replies that "the alien hypothesis is to be considered in some interrogative way": here he adds that they have a "HUGE documentation on UFOs in the area". Here the writer argues: "Well, interrogative or not, it IS one of the two options left" and the coordinator "yes, but no one has met up with some aliens so far, in case it would happen, we will disclose it" and the journalist: "of course… I hope" and "in that case, we would dedicate to the event our programs 24/7"
It's the turn of the secretary of the National UFO centre (CUN). Question: what's CUN's take on the story? Answer: "I have to state beforehand that we still aren't allowed to see the documentation (including the database)". The secretary also explain the investigative method based on ruling out all the possible mundane/natural explanations, and that the military tests explanation is not so likely for some reasons, including the involvement of the inhabitants in a highly dangerous situation. Besides, once people coming from all the world were in place, (and the phenomena continued taking place) it would have been unwise to keep on "experimenting" in presence of potential spies.
Canneto PT7 (2:50) [ITA]
The secretary of CUN also points out that the description of the place is inaccurate: while it counts less than 50 inhabitants, the area is visited by many tourist on regular basis, since the close Aeolian islands are known worldwide
(Note: Being a volcanic archipelago, they are also constantly being monitored). The journalist also points out that many documented events took place while Canneto was "invaded" by all type of researchers, investigators, journalists etc. When asked about this detail, the coordinator says that the phenomena continued at its highest level even during the first six months of screening. At this point, the secretary of CUN reveals that "40% of UFO sightings reported to us, took place in the area of Caronia, in a very narrow range.
He also add that in general, the appearance of the objects both spotted and photographed is spherical, or semi-spherical, while the witnesses report that their movement is apparently intelligent: he adds that he could just look at the photos available to the "common people" (and that he knows that the task-force is in possess of more, extremely clear photos): and that the photos show mostly non-conventional stuff.
Canneto PT8 (2:44) [ITA]
The secretary of CUN continues, claiming that most elements in the documentation gathered so far suggest that we're in presence of some form of extremely advanced technology, and that he doesn't believe in the existence of some kind of "Spectre" like organization, hiding so much of the technological evolution of our species. He also points out the non-sense of charging the civil defence (in cooperation with army, etc) instead of involving straight the army/aviation and so on, since some unknown flying object not recognized by the security system should be automatically considered a matter of national security. The journalist poses to him the same question regarding why there: "If they are aliens, then why there, just there, only there?" Answer: "If someone would ever be able to answer to such a question, then UFOlogy would have no reason to ever exist" and "I consider this phenomenon as something that falls into the advanced/not yet explained technology basket, rather than into the
Canneto PT9 (2:44) [ITA]
The journalist points also out that alien would eventually act in a way out of "our logic", and also what apparently makes no sense to us may make perfectly sense to them.
Brief debate about the ongoing releases of files from UK MoD and French CNES-GEIPAN
. Back to the coordinator of the task-force:
Straight question: "Are the phenomena still occurring?" Answer "Yes, after the critical phase of six-eight months, we kept on detecting a series of anomalies, occurring with less frequency, until today".
Canneto PT10 (2:51) [ITA]
Question to the coordinator of the task-force: "Are all these phenomena confirmed? Did you make some assessment on their reality?" answer: "We applied a criteria: we considered all the cases that were related to that specific type of cause (strong electromagnetic impulse): now, it's hard to say whether there's some case that has nothing to do with the "main cause" (i.e. some guy who deliberately burst something), but the majority if not the totality is related. Besides, there's the UFO facet:
I CONFIRM that we have in our hands a remarkable, significant amount of documentation, witness, photographs, videos about UFOs.
Were UFOs stands just for Unidentified Flying Objects. We can't say much about what we saw so far though: we couldn't assess they actual structure, altitude, performances etc. Journalist: "Listen but can we see these photos or not?" (answer in the next video)
Canneto PT11 (2:39) [ITA]
The secretary answers: "Well, actually you saw some of them in TV: but in general, we do prefer to reach the end of the work, and then I think that all will be disclosed, but with the evidences we'll disclose some explanations too". Question from the secretary of CUN to the coordinator of the task-force: "Since in 1994, Tullio Regge (note: at the time member of the European Parliament) tried, within the European Parliament, to create an European Scientific Commission of Investigations on the UFOs, and since we have seen how UK MoD and french CNES-GEIPAN declassified documentation regarding UFOs, wouldn't be adequate to work on the same way, and possibly to create an international scientific group of study, in order to share documentation, evidences, know how etcetera?" (The journalist clarifies that maybe the coordinator is the wrong person to whom pose such a question, but he answers anyway: ) "Actually we did something like that, but let me point out that we are working on that specific, narrow area and on that specific series of cases: during the investigations, we stumbled upon a series of UFOs sightings, and since it was our task to investigate every anomalous occurrence, of course we couldn't ignore UFOs appearing in the area. Journalist: "UFO's aren't ruled out as possible responsible of the strange events, is that correct?" Answer: "Of course, yes." Question: "With the present budget, how long will you be able to keep investigating?" Answer "Basically, there's no limit, since each member of the group has his own budget: but even if theoretically we could investigate forever, of course we hope to give some answer to the many unaswered questions ASAP"
Canneto PT12 (2:31) [ITA]
Conclusion, greetings, thanks and arrivederci a tutti: nothing to see here
Note: there are more videos available all over: there are also some videos claimed to have been filmed in Caronia, but definitely inconclusive and lacking of corroborating information: I prefer to omit to share them.

This is amazing stuff. I've read about entrances to underground cities inhabited by aliens or some unknown entities, are any located near here?

I remember seeing a special on TV about this. It was very puzzling. They didn't cover any of the UFO angle however, I didn't realize there was one, going to research this one fully.. this is good stuff. Thanks for the info!

This is an active area of tectonic activity, where the African plate is pushing under the Eurasian plate. This area of Sicily is right on the major fault line, and this city is right in the area of a major push.
I would say this is all a precursor to a major tectonic event. They have lots of volcanoes and earthquakes here, and I'd say they were about to have another major one.
Electro-magnetic activity along fault lines is a well known event. Even if it is not understood very well. It does appear to be a lot of it, more than I've ever read about before.

Hmm to me it sounds like the italian government is slowly admitting that
there are aliens. And I look forward to seeing the "extremely clear photos" well not all of them for sure.
And I think that the Vatican's chief exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth is sent
by the Pope to retrieve some information rather than chase demons.
Internos I could not check all the links, are all this informations from 2004
or they are recent if not is there a recent update on the case.

But with the amount of scientists investigating, geologists and volcanologists surely that would have been the first avenue to venture down.
The fact that UFOs are still in the frame shows they cant explain the events in a terrestrial way.
Good stuff OP

Starred and Flagged for sure. You've definitely done your research. I'm gonna do my own homework on this subject when I have time and see what I can find out about the story. Quality stuff here.
First of all I would like to know the opinion of some of those who were regulars in that 'What you should know about Lower Astrals' thread. Anything you know about this location?
posted on Nov, 27 2008 @ 10:26 PM
first off, thank you so much for your time to comipile this information. Once again you have outdone yourself to help all of us in the search for the truth.
I am really impressed of the amount of data you have researched here, I have heard about this place but didn't have all the information that you have provided us with. What ever is going on there I hope it isn't just military secret activity going on, there has to be a reasonable unknown explanation about this, especially with the things spontaneously catching on fire, charging of cell phones, etc.
I will be monitoring this events myself as close as possible to contribute with anything I may come across with. I have been to Sicily myself way before this events started happening back in 2004 and obviously there was nothing to talk about at the time (with regards to UFOs that is).
Again, thanks for all your findings and hard work!

I have heard some stories about that place and I am glad you posted all of this information. Looks like I have something to do this weekend. I live a couple hours out but I am heading that ways anyway so why not spend sometime there. I will tell you if I get abducted

Thanks for one doozy of a post Internos. ATS is lucky you have you on board. Now I'm going to step out on a limb here and throw out a theory. Some of these occurrences seem to have a energetic/electrical mutual induction of power affecting each target. This power is obviously coming from some source somewhere. Now where's that source? I'm sure theres no huge array of copper coils or a microwave transmitter anywhere near, the next place to look is up or out to sea. Nice pictures of big bright lights in the sky in the OP. Any ideas on what those are? Or how about that Ufo coming out of the sea? Could he be recharging his battery and this poor town is getting hosed by misdirected power? This theory leads me to hypothesize that an amazing amount of power is using evanescent wave coupling from X source to Canneto di Caronia via a focused tunneling beam of power. Were talking huge amounts of directed power from who knows where or how far away. Wireless energy transfer is here on a much smaller scale. It's all about keeping that energy focused over distance.
Now don't go asking any techie questions I'm way outside my league here guys, it's just a theory that I thought I'd post while it was fresh in my mind. The first thought that came to mind when reading this post was Wireless Engergy Transfer which led me to the above. My next step is to go back and watch all of the vids and catch up on this very interesting topic. Star and Flag.

Very interesting. This is near the Vatican? Could these events be why the Vatican told the Catholics that they could believe in UFOs?

As the poster said, electrical phenomena in relation to tectonic and volcanic activity is well documented but POORLY understood. Some of these phenomena, such as earthquake lights, were reported for 1000s of years but only recently proved beyond doubt with photographic evidence.
It would have to be the major possible cause for this activity. As for strange electrical activity in houses, that's usually caused by faulty wiring somewhere.

Star and a flag Internos, you are a legend.
Does anyone know of any flightpaths used by the US, Russia or the UK over the area, I'm thinking some kind of electro magnetic propulsion being used by a terrestial UFO.
An extension of the Aurora project perhaps?
Or an e-bomb launched from a sub. It would disrupt on a large scale, and a population of 49 isolated on an island is better to test on than a larger city which would make world news.
My 2 cents.

Stocks Catch Bounce on Home Price Data
TheStreet) -- U.S. stocks finished with mild gains on Tuesday as investors let improved home price data deflect their attention away from the eurozone debt crisis.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 32 points, or 0.26%, to close at 12,535. The blue-chip index ranged from 12,576 to 12,452 on the day.
S&P 500 tacked on more than 6 points, or 0.48%, to settle at 1320. The
Nasdaq, which lost nearly 2% on Monday, advanced 18 points, or 0.63%, to finish at 2854.
Within the Dow, 18 of the index's 30 components were on the rise, led by JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report), Walt Disney (DIS), McDonald's (MCD), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX) and General Electric (GE)
Weak spots among the blue chips included Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), du Pont (DD) and IBM (IBM). Shares of JPMorgan got a 1.2% lift after Goldman Sachs added the bank to its America's conviction buy list, while removing and downgrading Morgan Stanley (MS), whose stock was up incrementally. Consumer non-cyclicals, energy, financials and services were the strongest sectors in the broad market. The Case-Shiller 20-city home-price index showed that home prices fell by 1.9% in April from a year ago. While still negative, this is an improvement over the 2.6% decline the month before. Economists, on average, thought the index would fall 2.5% from a year ago. Home prices on average increased 1.3% in April, month over month, for the 20-city composite after seven straight months of declines. This supports the view of Michelle Meyer, senior U.S. economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, that national home prices bottomed at the beginning of the year. "However, we do not expect a sustained upturn in prices from here," she said. "Rather, we expect prices to weaken again at the end of the year, as the economy slows and distressed inventory picks up." "On the whole, this report provides confirmation that the housing sector is finally stabilized and may be on the verge of a rebound, as the supply/demand imbalance continue to move in a more favorable direction," said Millan Mulraine, an economist at TD Securities. While he expects any rebound to remain modest, particularly given the weakening economic growth and labor market momentum in recent months, he also believes that "the foundation has been laid" for a sustained recovery in the coming months. Meanwhile, the Conference Board said that its U.S. consumer confidence index fell further in June to 62 from a downwardly-revised 64.4 in May. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected a reading of 63.8 for June. The Conference Board said that income expectations among consumers, which had improved last month, declined in June, and that if this trend continues, spending could be restrained in the short-term. Stocks were hammered Monday as investors fled riskier assets on concerns about Europe's ability to address its escalating debt problems. Europe's leaders are slated to meet on Thursday and Friday at a summit in Brussels to discuss plans to address the region's debt problems and flagging economy. Ahead of the meeting, Reuters reported that German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Europe won't share liability for "as long as I live," casting further doubts about the ability of leaders to achieve anything substantial at the summit. On Tuesday, both Spain and Italy saw their borrowing costs soar at short-term debt auctions as Moody's cut its debt ratings on 28 Spanish banks on growing doubts about the country's ability to support its banks.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Canandaigua City Council is slated to vote on a final site plan for phase one of the North Shore project Thursday.
Phase one will be constructed on the western end of Lakeshore Drive and includes a mix of retail stores and apartments. The entire project implemented in five stages will span 21 acres on Lakeshore Drive.
City Council is also scheduled approve the final payment in the eminent domain case that required the city to pay $300,000 to a former Lakeshore Drive property owner after the city acquired 5.4 acres of his land using eminent domain in 2009. According to the city, the money will be paid by funds set aside from the property's new owner, David Genecco.

I just went to this wing place up in portland oregon, they had these cilantro lime wing sauce that was so awesome. I bought a couple bottles of that sauce, I would love to mimic it. it was kinda chunky like salsa but still had that hot wing flavor that you would get from a frank's red hot wing sauce. man it was so good.
I agree with those that keep it simple. I prefer texas pete + butter, however, I would say the best hot sauce recipe is: Your favorite hot suace + enough butter to get the amount of heat you want (more butter = less heat). Don't cheap out and use margarine (yuck!!) That's it. I've made this with Texas Pete, Louisiana, Tabasco and even Great Value. They're all great, though - as I said - I prefer the taste of Texas Pete.
I marinate my wings (approx 10 wings with the third little section cut off) in a large ziploc for a day or two in Sirachi (maybe 8 - 10 tablespoons) and a couple dashes of worchestire sauce.... then grill to well done to render as much fat as possible. After plating I drizzle stubs bbq (or your favorite) sauce on them and cover with foil for a few minutes to help the bbq sauce spread out and coat the wings. No complaints thus far ... enjoy.
Oil the wings and bake them til they are crispy. Then let them swim in Franks Hot Sauce and a bit of butter.
"The ordinary world is only the foam on top of the real world." Tom Robbins (B is for Beer) "It's a beautiful day for baseball. Let's play two." Ernie Banks
I'm in the KISS camp on wings. Franks/LHS/Texas Pete/Crystal + butter + a little Tabasco. Deep fried only, crispy. Shaken in the sauce immediately after coming out of the fryer (important detail imo). And I forget the brand name for the bleu cheese dressing but it's in the salad section (refrigerated) and it's called Super Bleu Cheese dressing. They also make a Chunky Bleu Cheese dressing...not that one...get the Super. It's got a lot of crumbled bleu cheese in it. I always dip the wings in BC dressing.
"Goin' downtown to the disco, gotta do it right away. Got a funky thing to get into, gonna blow my blues away!"
I might be alone here but for wings I prefer not really chunky bleu cheese. I think it can make dunking a pain. Now for buffalo chicken sandwich/wrap/salad or just about anything else the chunkier the better.

JEMS.com Editor's Note: Jullette Saussy, MD, was one of 15 women invited to answer a survey to be included in an article on women who provide national leadership in EMS. (See"Words from the Wise: Female Leaders Share their Perspectives," March JEMS for 13 other leaders.) Although she initially wanted to participate, she was unable to do so when she was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo chemotherapy. We interviewed her by telephone in her hospital room. Here's what we asked and how she replied:
How did you get into EMS? Did any particular experience prepare you for this field?
I knew I wanted to be doctor since sixth grade, and becoming an EMT was the quickest way for me to get involved in medicine. The sight of blood used to make me sick, so as a freshman I shadowed an emergency department (ED) doctor. I became an EMT a year later (in 1984) and got my paramedic training at the University of South Alabama (finishing in 1986). I worked as a paramedic while going to college, and I took two years off before medical school to work for New Orleans EMS on the night shift. I went to Tulane for my undergraduate degree then to LSU for medical school. I did my internship and residency at Charity Hospital (in New Orleans). I'm still on staff there, although it's been closed since Hurricane Katrina.
In December 2004, I took the job as New Orleans EMS (NOEMS) director and medical director. The department was in major financial trouble in terms. Deputy director Mark Rice and I got the equipment and agency back in line before Katrina hit, but we had to do that all again after Katrina -- and do it in a trailer. We're still working out of two single-wide trailers under the bridge near the convention center, although four of us have cubbies at city hall.
When did you know you would be makingEMS your career?
After I started as an EMT. I really, really loved emergency medicine. I really enjoyed the autonomy. But I also thought of going into pediatrics. I had three kids -- all girls -- while I was in medical school, with twins between my third and fourth years. My 17-year-old is a junior in college and my 14-year-old twins are in ninth grade.
What are a few highlights of your career?
- Metropolitan Municipalities EMS Medical Directors' MichaelK. Copass Eagles Award, 2008
- National Association of EMS Physicians' Outstanding Contribution to EMS Award, 2007
- Co-chair of the NAEMSP Preparedness Committee until September 2007
- Chair of Louisiana State University's Preshospital Trauma Committee
- Medical director for New Orleans Department of Homeland Security's Office of Emergency Preparedness
What is your proudest career accomplishment?
Probably putting this EMS system back together post Katrina and being able to stay and do so despite not wanting to do it some days. We were able to hire new people and grow our education program, and we now have special teams, (for example a SWAT team, a swift-water rescue team, a high-angle rescue and a bike team). We're working again on our billing system and on finding a new home. My long relationship with the people I work with makes them like my family.
The [proudest] thing I've ever done was the evacuation from the convention center [after Katrina]. About seven paramedics and myself went into the crowd and triaged and evacuated 19,000-21,000 people with help of the military.
Your greatest disappointment?
My greatest disappointment is our lack of cohesiveness as a profession. Fire and police have it together and speak with one voice. We need a unified voice in EMS with a strong voice in Washington and a strong agenda. Until we can get that together we will continue to suffer as a profession. I think that if we, as EMS leaders, can just stay focused on the patients and what would be in their best interest, all else will fade away and we can move forward.
If you could accomplish just one more thing before you retire, what would it be?
I'd like to go to Washington, DC and work at the national level in EMS or disaster planning. But I don't see myself leaving New Orleans EMS any time soon. I'm very lucky to get up every day and do what I love with people I like.
My goal in the next year is to get back into a clinical realm after my chemotherapy ends in June.
And for my service, I'd like to see it completely revenue supporting and back in a home and secure.
What are the greatest challenges you've faced as a woman in a male-dominated field?
I know there's a gender bias there; others make me aware of it, although I don't feel it. I was raised without limitations. Because I'm a woman, I have to be more assertive and much more careful in how I say things. I must be more on point.
What advice do you have for other women who aspire to national EMS leadership?
You need a thick skin and to persevere. You've got to have a passion and be a jack-of-all-trades, to show up and be who you are. Know where you're strong and know where you're weak and have back up for your weak areas. You can't be afraid to make a decision, to make a mistake. Stand up and be willing to try new things, to get it wrong and come back out there and try it again. Recognize adversity as an opportunity to build character and take advantage of those moments.
Did you have a mentor? If so, what was the most helpful thing s/he did or said?|
Edwardo Marvez-[Valls, MD,] who did emergency medicine at LSU and who recently died, was my mentor. From an EMS perspective, Paul Pepe has always been a mentor. Other mentors are [EMS medical directors] Tom Blackwell [in Charlotte, N.C.] David Persse in Houston and Ed Racht in Austin [Texas]. Bob Davis [a reporter with USA Today and former paramedic] has been a mentor for following your passion. We've got some amazing people in EMS.
What special qualities (if any) do women bring to EMS leadership?
Women bring to the field a level of compassion and empathy with both patients and employees and an ability to nurture and to see the other side of things. I think that's a real plus. Women feel things at a deep level, which makes us powerful.
Do you have any suggestions for how the EMS community can increase the numbers of female EMS leaders?
We need to raise the bar for who becomes a paramedic; we need to focus on an education degree. Although were in a paramedic shortage, I don't think short-term zero to hero programs are the answer.
We must mentor women, be approachable, assessable and encourage them to do it. About 25% of NOEMS employees are women, and four of my 11 administrators are women.
What do you enjoy doing in your off hours?
Spending time with my kids, my family and my friends. My three very strong-willed teenaged daughters -- Katharine, Sarah and Elizabeth -- and my family keep me going. They're what make me get up in the morning.
I also like to run, to read, to travel and to needlepoint, although I haven't done that in a long time.
What might people be surprised to know about you?
That I have insecurities and second-guess myself and have fears of the unknown. I enjoy my alone time.
What else would you like to say to a national EMS audience on the topic of women in this field and on women becoming leaders.
I really believe that certain people are born with leadership skills and they can choose to develop them and use them or not. We need [female] leaders, so you if have leadership skills, we need you to step up to the plate. EMS is a tough field and it takes a special kind of person do to that.
Women are social and need to support each other as woman leaders. It would be wonderful to have a women-in-EMS leadership forum.

film prometheus italiano torrentFuckn My Flat p 4I got her some wine and told we'd must see the film in my room as there was no DVD connected to the living room television. 'Mmm lying on a daybed with wine and a scary film, with u sounds like a nice night to me', this babe told.
I got the computer and disc willing and started playing the film. We the one and the other sat down on the daybed propped up against the head board and chatted and swallowed as we casually watched the film. The mother her daughter and her boyfriend p 3This babe started the car, and began the short drive back to her abode.
Lorraine was on the sofa, sitting next to Ross, her legs wide as this guy lightly ran his fingers over her lacy knickers, her slit was already juicy with anticipation. The film was just beginning, a film in which the mother was gonna train her daughter how to engulf and fuck. Right as if! Lorraine held Ross' dick in her right hand, his trousers unzipped. Peak Performance Orgasmic Remy and Manuel p 14They stare into every other's eyes, mutually taken up in the pont of time of the sex they have just created jointly. It's great sex and happily itt has been aptured forever on film.
Remy (to interviewer): 'I just feel actually fortunate to have had sex like that in my life. I mean if u wanna film me, if u wanna costume me up, if u wanna put make up on me, that's wonderful. But I just had the most good fucking sex of my life and that's all that matters." Amazing bombshell of a gal in her sex debut on filmI can't remember that I fucked a hotter chick than this one. Her sex debut on film was really an extraordinary experience. ANAL SURRENDER p 9Her backdoor had closed and the pink opening looked so tiny as this guy watched a thin film of his load dribbled without her. This guy wondered how this guy had managed to permeate her there. This guy lifted a finger and scooped a film of sticky cum. This guy rubbed it gently onto her backdoor and shoved his finger into her.
Julia moved her ass cheeks away and uttered drowsily, "Don't." Danny's raunchy craving for her was still unabated. Hot sexy girl gets dicked for the First time on filmAdorable brunette I got to meet today was really eager to make her First sex film and I couldn't deny her that pleasure. A Hard Day's Night p 42How to receive the film out. I put the camera back and cupped the film in my hand. When we went back in I sat on the lounge and slipped the film beneath the cushion. Sharon saw me and I began stroking my hardening dick as I watched her engulf. This babe stood up and walked over to me and then stood on the lounge. This babe bent her knees and widening her legs, opened her vagina for me to watch. I was impressed by the amount of juice that was coating her haunches.
My 1st Bi Three-some Part Three p 3It was slightly painful but this babe directed my erection towards his butt reaching around to slide a juicy finger into my butthole. After a not many moments I was able to release a torrent over his back and into his rectum. This babe bent down and took my dick in her throat savouring the flavour'. With a mouthful of piddle this babe then moved to the Spouse's throat and began spitting my piddle into his thirsty throat.
My Girlfriend's Mommy Shrieked p 31Then I joined the Wrights for dinner. And I knew as I ate that it should have been I who was sitting at the head of the table.
7 -- Thursday June 12th 2008 Krissies bedroom "What is it?" "A film I made," I answered as I put the DVD into the player. It was a week since I'd taken her mother. "U wanna see a film? Now?" my girlfriend asked, her surprise clear. This babe was lying on her daybed. How Curious p 21When this guy came, his load gushed into my throat, a thick torrent that was greater amount than I could drink. As it dripped out from around my lips, this guy carried on fucking me until this guy pulled me urgently to my feet, until we stumbled out onto the floor of the bath, until I was leaning over him, taking my turn to fuck his throat during the time that this guy squeezed the final of his load without his own still hard dick.

Medical imaging is the technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention. Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities. Although imaging of removed organs and tissues can be performed for medical reasons, such procedures are usually considered part of pathology instead of medical imaging.
As a discipline and in its widest sense, it is part of biological imaging and incorporates radiology which uses the imaging technologies of X-ray radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, medical ultrasonography or ultrasound, endoscopy, elastography, tactile imaging, thermography, medical photography and nuclear medicine functional imaging techniques as positron emission tomography.
Measurement and recording techniques which are not primarily designed to produce images, such as electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electrocardiography (ECG), and others represent other technologies which produce data susceptible to representation as a parameter graph vs. time or maps which contain information about the measurement locations. In a limited comparison these technologies can be considered as forms of medical imaging in another discipline.
Up until 2010, 5 billion medical imaging studies had been conducted worldwide.[1] Radiation exposure from medical imaging in 2006 made up about 50% of total ionizing radiation exposure in the United States.[2]
In the clinical context, "invisible light" medical imaging is generally equated to radiology or "clinical imaging" and the medical practitioner responsible for interpreting (and sometimes acquiring) the images is a radiologist. "Visible light" medical imaging involves digital video or still pictures that can be seen without special equipment. Dermatology and wound care are two modalities that use visible light imagery. Diagnostic radiography designates the technical aspects of medical imaging and in particular the acquisition of medical images. The radiographer or radiologic technologist is usually responsible for acquiring medical images of diagnostic quality, although some radiological interventions are performed by radiologists. While radiology is an evaluation of anatomy, nuclear medicine provides functional assessment.
As a field of scientific investigation, medical imaging constitutes a sub-discipline of biomedical engineering, medical physics or medicine depending on the context: Research and development in the area of instrumentation, image acquisition (e.g. radiography), modeling and quantification are usually the preserve of biomedical engineering, medical physics, and computer science; Research into the application and interpretation of medical images is usually the preserve of radiology and the medical sub-discipline relevant to medical condition or area of medical science (neuroscience, cardiology, psychiatry, psychology, etc.) under investigation. Many of the techniques developed for medical imaging also have scientific and industrial applications.[3]
Medical imaging is often perceived to designate the set of techniques that noninvasively produce images of the internal aspect of the body. In this restricted sense, medical imaging can be seen as the solution of mathematical inverse problems. This means that cause (the properties of living tissue) is inferred from effect (the observed signal). In the case of medical ultrasonography, the probe consists of ultrasonic pressure waves and echoes that go inside the tissue to show the internal structure. In the case of projectional radiography, the probe uses X-ray radiation, which is absorbed at different rates by different tissue types such as bone, muscle and fat.
The term noninvasive is used to denote a procedure where no instrument is introduced into a patient's body which is the case for most imaging techniques used.
Two forms of radiographic images are in use in medical imaging; projection radiography and fluoroscopy, with the latter being useful for catheter guidance. These 2D techniques are still in wide use despite the advance of 3D tomography due to the low cost, high resolution, and depending on application, lower radiation dosages. This imaging modality utilizes a wide beam of x rays for image acquisition and is the first imaging technique available in modern medicine.
A magnetic resonance imaging instrument (MRI scanner), or "nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging" scanner as it was originally known, uses powerful magnets to polarise and excite hydrogen nuclei (single proton) in water molecules in human tissue, producing a detectable signal which is spatially encoded, resulting in images of the body.[4] The MRI machine emits a RF (radio frequency) pulse that specifically binds to hydrogen. The system sends the pulse to the area of the body to be examined. The pulse makes the protons in that area absorb the energy needed to make them spin in a different direction. This is the "resonance" part of MRI. The RF pulse makes them (only the one or two extra unmatched protons per million) spin at a specific frequency, in a specific direction. The particular frequency of resonance is called the Larmour frequency and is calculated based on the particular tissue being imaged and the strength of the main magnetic field. MRI uses three electromagnetic fields: a very strong (on the order of units of teslas) static magnetic field to polarize the hydrogen nuclei, called the static field; a weaker time-varying (on the order of 1 kHz) field(s) for spatial encoding, called the gradient field(s); and a weak radio-frequency (RF) field for manipulation of the hydrogen nuclei to produce measurable signals, collected through an RF antenna.
Like CT, MRI traditionally creates a two dimensional image of a thin "slice" of the body and is therefore considered a tomographic imaging technique. Modern MRI instruments are capable of producing images in the form of 3D blocks, which may be considered a generalisation of the single-slice, tomographic, concept. Unlike CT, MRI does not involve the use of ionizing radiation and is therefore not associated with the same health hazards. For example, because MRI has only been in use since the early 1980s, there are no known long-term effects of exposure to strong static fields (this is the subject of some debate; see 'Safety' in MRI) and therefore there is no limit to the number of scans to which an individual can be subjected, in contrast with X-ray and CT. However, there are well-identified health risks associated with tissue heating from exposure to the RF field and the presence of implanted devices in the body, such as pace makers. These risks are strictly controlled as part of the design of the instrument and the scanning protocols used.
Because CT and MRI are sensitive to different tissue properties, the appearance of the images obtained with the two techniques differ markedly. In CT, X-rays must be blocked by some form of dense tissue to create an image, so the image quality when looking at soft tissues will be poor. In MRI, while any nucleus with a net nuclear spin can be used, the proton of the hydrogen atom remains the most widely used, especially in the clinical setting, because it is so ubiquitous and returns a large signal. This nucleus, present in water molecules, allows the excellent soft-tissue contrast achievable with MRI.
Nuclear medicine encompasses both diagnostic imaging and treatment of disease, and may also be referred to as molecular medicine or molecular imaging & therapeutics.[5] Nuclear medicine uses certain properties of isotopes and the energetic particles emitted from radioactive material to diagnose or treat various pathology. Different from the typical concept of anatomic radiology, nuclear medicine enables assessment of physiology. This function-based approach to medical evaluation has useful applications in most subspecialties, notably oncology, neurology, and cardiology. Gamma cameras are used in e.g. scintigraphy, SPECT and PET to detect regions of biologic activity that may be associated with disease. Relatively short lived isotope, such as 123I is administered to the patient. Isotopes are often preferentially absorbed by biologically active tissue in the body, and can be used to identify tumors or fracture points in bone. Images are acquired after collimated photons are detected by a crystal that gives off a light signal, which is in turn amplified and converted into count data.
Fiduciary markers are used in a wide range of medical imaging applications. Images of the same subject produced with two different imaging systems may be correlated (called image registration) by placing a fiduciary marker in the area imaged by both systems. In this case, a marker which is visible in the images produced by both imaging modalities must be used. By this method, functional information from SPECT or positron emission tomography can be related to anatomical information provided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).[8] Similarly, fiducial points established during MRI can be correlated with brain images generated by magnetoencephalography to localize the source of brain activity.
Medical ultrasonography uses high frequency broadband sound waves in the megahertz range that are reflected by tissue to varying degrees to produce (up to 3D) images. This is commonly associated with imaging the fetus in pregnant women. Uses of ultrasound are much broader, however. Other important uses include imaging the abdominal organs, heart, breast, muscles, tendons, arteries and veins. While it may provide less anatomical detail than techniques such as CT or MRI, it has several advantages which make it ideal in numerous situations, in particular that it studies the function of moving structures in real-time, emits no ionizing radiation, and contains speckle that can be used in elastography. Ultrasound is also used as a popular research tool for capturing raw data, that can be made available through an ultrasound research interface, for the purpose of tissue characterization and implementation of new image processing techniques. The concepts of ultrasound differ from other medical imaging modalities in the fact that it is operated by the transmission and receipt of sound waves. The high frequency sound waves are sent into the tissue and depending on the composition of the different tissues; the signal will be attenuated and returned at separate intervals. A path of reflected sound waves in a multilayered structure can be defined by an input acoustic impedance (ultrasound sound wave) and the Reflection and transmission coefficients of the relative structures.[7] It is very safe to use and does not appear to cause any adverse effects. It is also relatively inexpensive and quick to perform. Ultrasound scanners can be taken to critically ill patients in intensive care units, avoiding the danger caused while moving the patient to the radiology department. The real time moving image obtained can be used to guide drainage and biopsy procedures. Doppler capabilities on modern scanners allow the blood flow in arteries and veins to be assessed.
Elastography is a new imaging modality that maps the elastic properties of soft tissue. This modality emerged in the last decade. Elastography can use ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and tactile imaging.
Tactile imaging is a medical imaging modality that translates the sense of touch into a digital image. The tactile image is a function of P(x,y,z), where P is the pressure on soft tissue surface under applied deformation and x,y,z are coordinates where pressure P was measured. Tactile imaging closely mimics manual palpation, since the probe of the device with a pressure sensor array mounted on its face acts similar to human fingers during clinical examination, slightly deforming soft tissue by the probe and detecting resulting changes in the pressure pattern. Figure on the right presents an experiment on a composite tissue phantom examined by a tactile imaging probe illustrating the ability of tactile imaging to visualize in 3D the structure of the object.
This modality is used for imaging of the prostate,[9] breast,[10] vagina and pelvic floor support structures,[11] and myofascial trigger points in muscle.[12]
Photoacoustic imaging is a recently developed hybrid biomedical imaging modality based on the photoacoustic effect. It combines the advantages of optical absorption contrast with ultrasonic spatial resolution for deep imaging in (optical) diffusive or quasi-diffusive regime. Recent studies have shown that photoacoustic imaging can be used in vivo for tumor angiogenesis monitoring, blood oxygenation mapping, functional brain imaging, and skin melanoma detection, etc.
Primarily used for breast imaging. There are three approaches: tele-thermography, contact thermography and dynamic angiothermography. These digital infrared imaging thermographic techniques are based on the principle that metabolic activity and vascular circulation in both pre-cancerous tissue and the area surrounding a developing breast cancer is almost always higher than in normal breast tissue. Cancerous tumors require an ever-increasing supply of nutrients and therefore increase circulation to their cells by holding open existing blood vessels, opening dormant vessels, and creating new ones (neo-angiogenesis theory).
Tele-thermography and contact thermography supporters claim this process results in an increase in regional surface temperatures of the breast, however there is little evidence that thermography is an accurate means of identifying breast tumours. Thermography is not approved for breast cancer screening in the United States or Canada, and medical authorities have issued warnings against thermography in both countries.[13]
Dynamic angiothermography utilizes thermal imaging but with important differences with the tele-thermography and contact thermography, that impact detection performance. First, the probes are improved over the previous liquid crystal plates; they include better spatial resolution, contrastive performance, and the image is formed more quickly. The more significant difference[14] lies in identifying the thermal changes due to changes in vascular network to support the growth of the tumor/lesion. Instead of just recording the change in heat generated by the tumor, the image is now able to identify changes due to the vascularization of the mammary gland. It is currently used in combination with other techniques for diagnosis of breast cancer. This diagnostic method is a low cost one compared with other techniques. The angiothermography is not a test that substitutes for other tests, but stands in relation to them as a technique that gives additional information to clarify the clinical picture and improve the quality of diagnosis.
Tomography is the method of imaging a single plane, or slice, of an object resulting in a tomogram. There are two principal methods of obtaining such images, conventional and computer assisted tomography. Conventional tomography uses mechanical means to record an image directly onto X-ray film, while in computer assisted tomography, a computer processes information fed to it from detectors then constructs a virtual image which can be stored in digital format and can be displayed on a screen, or printed on paper or film.
In conventional tomography, mechanical movement of an X-ray source and film in unison generates a tomogram using the principles of projective geometry.[15] Synchronizing the movement of the radiation source and detector which are situated in the opposite direction from each other causes structures which are not in the focal plane being studied to blur out. This was the main method of obtaining tomogaphic images until the late-1970s. It is now considered obsolete (except for certain dental applications), having been replaced with computer assisted tomographic techniques. Historically, there have been various techniques involved in conventional tomography:
In computer-assisted tomography, a computer processes data received from radiation detectors and computationally constructs an image of the structures being scanned. Imaging techniques using this method are far superior to conventional tomography as they can readily image both soft and hard tissues (while conventional tomography is quite poor at imaging soft tissues). The following techniques exist:
When ultrasound is used to image the heart it is referred to as an echocardiogram. Echocardiography allows detailed structures of the heart, including chamber size, heart function, the valves of the heart, as well as the pericardium (the sac around the heart) to be seen. Echocardiography uses 2D, 3D, and Doppler imaging to create pictures of the heart and visualize the blood flowing through each of the four heart valves. Echocardiography is widely used in an array of patients ranging from those experiencing symptoms, such as shortness of breath or chest pain, to those undergoing cancer treatments. Transthoracic ultrasound has been proven to be safe for patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly, without risk of harmful side effects or radiation, differentiating it from other imaging modalities. Echocardiography is one of the most commonly used imaging modalities in the world due to its portability and use in a variety of applications. In emergency situations, echocardiography is quick, easily accessible, and able to be performed at the bedside, making it the modality of choice for many physicians.
FNIR Is a relatively new non-invasive imaging technique. NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy) is used for the purpose of functional neuroimaging and has been widely accepted as a brain imaging technique.[16]
In response to increased concern by the public over radiation doses and the ongoing progress of best practices, The Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging was formed within the Society for Pediatric Radiology. In concert with The American Society of Radiologic Technologists, The American College of Radiology and The American Association of Physicists in Medicine, the Society for Pediatric Radiology developed and launched the Image Gently Campaign which is designed to maintain high quality imaging studies while using the lowest doses and best radiation safety practices available on pediatric patients.[17] This initiative has been endorsed and applied by a growing list of various Professional Medical organizations around the world and has received support and assistance from companies that manufacture equipment used in Radiology.
Following upon the success of the Image Gently campaign, the American College of Radiology, the Radiological Society of North America, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine and the American Society of Radiologic Technologists have launched a similar campaign to address this issue in the adult population called Image Wisely.[18] The World Health Organization and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of the United Nations have also been working in this area and have ongoing projects designed to broaden best practices and lower patient radiation dose.[19][20][21]
The amount of data obtained in a single MR or CT scan is very extensive. Some of the data that radiologists discard could save patients time and money, while reducing their exposure to radiation and risk of complications from invasive procedures.[22]
Recently, techniques have been developed to enable CT, MRI and ultrasound scanning software to produce 3D images for the physician.[23] Traditionally CT and MRI scans produced 2D static output on film. To produce 3D images, many scans are made, then combined by computers to produce a 3D model, which can then be manipulated by the physician. 3D ultrasounds are produced using a somewhat similar technique. In diagnosing disease of the viscera of abdomen, ultrasound is particularly sensitive on imaging of biliary tract, urinary tract and female reproductive organs (ovary, fallopian tubes). As for example, diagnosis of gall stone by dilatation of common bile duct and stone in common bile duct. With the ability to visualize important structures in great detail, 3D visualization methods are a valuable resource for the diagnosis and surgical treatment of many pathologies. It was a key resource for the famous, but ultimately unsuccessful attempt by Singaporean surgeons to separate Iranian twins Ladan and Laleh Bijani in 2003. The 3D equipment was used previously for similar operations with great success.
Other proposed or developed techniques include:
Some of these techniques are still at a research stage and not yet used in clinical routines.
Medical imaging techniques produce very large amounts of data, especially from CT, MRI and PET modalities. As a result, storage and communications of electronic image data are prohibitive without the use of compression. JPEG 2000 is the state-of-the-art image compression DICOM standard for storage and transmission of medical images. The cost and feasibility of accessing large image data sets over low or various bandwidths are further addressed by use of another DICOM standard, called JPIP, to enable efficient streaming of the JPEG 2000 compressed image data.
Neuroimaging has also been used in experimental circumstances to allow people (especially disabled persons) to control outside devices, acting as a brain computer interface.
Many medical imaging software applications (3DSlicer, ImageJ, MIPAV [3], etc.) are used for non-diagnostic imaging, specifically because they don't have an FDA approval[24] and not allowed to use in clinical research for patient diagnosis.[25] Note that many clinical research studies are not designed for patient diagnosis anyway.[26]
Used primarily in ultrasound imaging, capturing the image produced by a medical imaging device is required for archiving and telemedicine applications. In most scenarios, a frame grabber is used in order to capture the video signal from the medical device and relay it to a computer for further processing and operations.[27]
There has been growing trend to migrate from PACS to a Cloud Based RIS. A recent article by Applied Radiology said, "As the digital-imaging realm is embraced across the healthcare enterprise, the swift transition from terabytes to petabytes of data has put radiology on the brink of information overload. Cloud computing offers the imaging department of the future the tools to manage data much more intelligently."[28]
Medical imaging has become a major tool in clinical trials since it enables rapid diagnosis with visualization and quantitative assessment.
A typical clinical trial goes through multiple phases and can take up to eight years. Clinical endpoints or outcomes are used to determine whether the therapy is safe and effective. Once a patient reaches the endpoint, he or she is generally excluded from further experimental interaction. Trials that rely solely on clinical endpoints are very costly as they have long durations and tend to need large numbers of patients.
In contrast to clinical endpoints, surrogate endpoints have been shown to cut down the time required to confirm whether a drug has clinical benefits. Imaging biomarkers (a characteristic that is objectively measured by an imaging technique, which is used as an indicator of pharmacological response to a therapy) and surrogate endpoints have shown to facilitate the use of small group sizes, obtaining quick results with good statistical power.[29]
Imaging is able to reveal subtle change that is indicative of the progression of therapy that may be missed out by more subjective, traditional approaches. Statistical bias is reduced as the findings are evaluated without any direct patient contact.
Imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are routinely used in oncology and neuroscience areas,.[30][31][32][33] For example, measurement of tumour shrinkage is a commonly used surrogate endpoint in solid tumour response evaluation. This allows for faster and more objective assessment of the effects of anticancer drugs. In Alzheimer's disease, MRI scans of the entire brain can accurately assess the rate of hippocampal atrophy, while PET scans can measure the brain's metabolic activity by measuring regional glucose metabolism,[29] and beta-amyloid plaques using tracers such as Pittsburgh compound B (PiB). Historically less use has been made of quantitative medical imaging in other areas of drug development although interest is growing.[34]
An imaging-based trial will usually be made up of three components:
X-rays generated by peak voltages below | Minimum thickness of lead |
75 kV | 1.0 mm |
100 kV | 1.5 mm |
125 kV | 2.0 mm |
150 kV | 2.5 mm |
175 kV | 3.0 mm |
200 kV | 4.0 mm |
225 kV | 5.0 mm |
300 kV | 9.0 mm |
400 kV | 15.0 mm |
500 kV | 22.0 mm |
600 kV | 34.0 mm |
900 kV | 51.0 mm |
Lead is the most common shield against X-rays because of its high density (11340 kg/m3), stopping power, ease of installation and low cost. The maximum range of a high-energy photon such as an X-ray in matter is infinite; at every point in the matter traversed by the photon, there is a probability of interaction. Thus there is a very small probability of no interaction over very large distances. The shielding of photon beam is therefore exponential (with an attenuation length being close to the radiation length of the material); doubling the thickness of shielding will square the shielding effect.
The following table shows the recommended thickness of lead shielding in function of X-ray energy, from the Recommendations by the Second International Congress of Radiology.[35]

Chopped All-Stars Caption It: What Did We Get Ourselves Into?
by Sarah De Heer in Shows, April 26th, 2012
In possibly one of the most anticipated Chopped All-Stars episodes of the series, four Chopped judges — Alex Guarnaschelli, Marcus Samuelsson, Marc Murphy and Chris Santos — will take their place on the Chopping Block to compete for the fourth and final spot in the finale. Pictured above, all-star chefs Alex Guarnaschelli and Chis Santos look curiously at each other as they enter the kitchen. Will the judges be pleased with their colleagues efforts or will their dishes leave more to be desired?
The winner of this episode will join Iron Chef Michael Symon, Cooking Channel's Jeffrey Saad and Food Network Star finalist Penny Davidi in the grand finale for a chance to win their charities $50,000.
Before you tune in this Sunday at 9pm/8c to watch the action unfold, we're challenging you, Chopped All-Stars fans, to write your best captions (tastefully appropriate, please) for this moment in the comments below.

I meant to say The Top Chef Master against The Iron Chef. Should be great fun.
I loved how Chris Santos Got chopped first!. I thought that he was going to be more " Perfectionist" like in his critics to the participants.
Have you ever listened to Alex? She is far worse.
He was very gracious after he lost and I felt bad for his charity. He obviously had a lot of personal attachment to the charity.
Caption: Alex to Chris – "OK, Chris; I'm going to win Chopped All-Stars and you can't stop me!"
Chris to Alex – "Oh, yeah? I thought this was Top Chef Masters"… -
Alex: I am going to castrate you!
Whoa!!! Where did that one come from?
Chopped All Stars: Will they dominate or be crushed under the basket?
That witch Penny doesn't belong in America. Do you see he visious looks on her face when Michael Symon was cut. Is that the sign of a professional? No? A person that should be shown on TV? NO. A scumbag…YES She shows her unpleasant eastern insensitive…All I can say: she doesn't belong on TV. The channel needs to think if putting a NOT NICE person is what they should do. No…they should drop her off in the Sahara desert where she belongs. I hate seeing people that are not nice on a show like Chopped…or a Channel Food Channel. What political crap are y ou dealing with? It doesn't belong in a kitchen. Because she will use unprofessional, plitical behavior to be there is wrong. Stand up and say so.
I agree that Penny is very unpleasant and shouldn't be a part of FoodNetwork (but doesn't belong in America??? — come on!)
She really is incapable of uttering three consecutive sentences without two of them being snarky. She did NOT get a "bad rap" on Next Food Network Star. They kept her longer than they should have because, apparently she can cook. She just doesn't do "Human Being" all that well.
Do you really believe that one has to be a nice person to be allowed in America? Sure Penny is unpleasant and I hope she never shows up on Food Network gain. But as much as some people may aggravate us, we do still have free speech and the right to be stupid. I could be wrong, but from the misspelled words and grammar mistakes in your post, I wonder if you yourself are not American born. So what kind of political crap are you trying to make out of a cooking contest? Get over it or change the channel.
Do you know they changed the judges for the last show?? My husband and I are trying to figure that out? And I agree Penny is a witch & not a very nice person!
Do you know why they changed the judges for the last show?? My husband and I are trying to figure that out? And I agree Penny is a witch & not a very nice person!
And the fat blond judge…the only way she could take Michael Symon down is as a judge. She knows she can't beat him in the kitchen so she makes him leave. You should also get rid of her.
I agree about the blond but does anyone understand why tatooed, bald headed Chris was brought back to be a judge when he had been eliminated as a contestant. Do they have any rules on this show or do they make them us as they go along?
Chopped all stars:
Penny, how dare you openly disrespect
Chef Michael Simon and Chef Amanda.
You were lucky and should feel honored
To be in the same room as these great Chefs.
You purpose was obviously self serving. You
Mentioned the "food network staff" and Iron
Chef. The day you are on food network is the
Day we stop watching. You are obnoxious
And need a serious reality check!!-
anne had no right being a judge. she lost fair and square but to vote off michael simon just goes to show how vendictive she can be.next time dont let a looser come back as a judge.also keep penny far away or put her in a room with ann and see who wins.
Glad Chris was chopped. They do need to replace him. All restaurant owners are not chefs.
