Preliminary analysis of radiation dose effects to rat femora microstructure using synchrotron radiation computed microtomography

In this work we investigated the consequences of irradiation in the femur of rats to a radiation dose of 5 Gy. Three different sites in femur specimens were imaged using synchrotron radiation microcomputed tomography to assess trabecular bone microarchitecture: head, distal metaphysis and distal epiphysis. Histomorphometric quantification was extracted directly from the 3D tomographic images using synchrontron...

Benign breast tumors in Red Sea State, Sudan

The majority of breast tumors are benign. Some of these tumors carry risk that change into cancer. So, it is important to know the different histopathological patterns of the benign breast lesions. This will help in the proper diagnosis of the lesion and build up of potent programs against the cancer. This research classifies benign breast diseases according to their frequency in Red Sea State, Sudan and compares them...
