The objective of this study is to elucidate the feasibility of synchrotron X-ray micro CT as a non-destructive imaging method to visualize the three-dimensional morphological structures of biological and non-biological samples. The experiments were conducted in 7B2 X-ray micro CT beamline in Pohang Accelerate Laboratory (PAL). A rotational 3-axis stage was specially designed for $0^{\circ}-180^{\circ}$ scanning of test samples. Preliminary tests were performed for opaque samples including a mosquito head, a plant seed and gas diffusion layer (GDL) of polymer electrolyte fuel cell to verify the feasibility of the X-ray micro CT. It visualized clearly the internal structure of all the test samples, supporting its usefulness.

A 39 kg, 7-year-old male Labrador Retriever dog with a 3-month history of epistaxis, sneezing, and nasal discharge was referred to the Veterinary Medical Center of the Tokyo University. On the plain X-ray and computed tomography (CT) of the head showed increased density of the soft tissue in the left nasal cavity and the tumor infiltrated to nasal septum. The tumor mass removed by rhinotomy. Histopathological examination of the mass revealed adenocarcinoma. Four weeks after the surgery, the radiation therapy was performed twice a week for f weeks. 4 months after surgery, the dog had a recurrence in nasal cavity and administered carboplatin 300 mg/$m^2$ twice. However, the tumor had no response to chemotherapy, additional surgery and additional radiation therapy, and the dog was euthanized at the owner's request. At necropsy, metastatic proliferation was confirmed in the lung, lymph nodes and nasal cavity.

The false-positive FDG uptakes on head and neck areas are common due to benign lesion, iatrogenic and physiologic changes. The Schneiderian papilloma is uncommon benign tumor arising from the mucosa of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity. The findings of paranasal papilloma on conventional modality such as CT and MRI are non-specific and they could be confused with inflammatory polyp or retention cyst. Despite of benign tumor, the papilloma usually shows locally aggressive growth with malignant potential, therefore the FDG can be actively accumulated in this lesion. We describe the case of 18F-FDG PET/CT finding in a 77-year-old woman who demonstrates oncocytic papilloma in maxillary sinus.

Traumatic intracranial aneurysms (TICAs) are rare and are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. TICAs usually result from head injuries caused by traffic accidents, industrial accidents, or gunshots. We report a traumatic aneurysm of the callosomarginal artery-cortical artery junction arising from a penetrating injury by scissors. A 51-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital after suffering a penetrating injury caused by scissors. Computed tomography (CT) and CT-angiography demonstrated a right orbital roof fracture, subarachnoid hemorrhage, frontal lobe hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, and a traumatic aneurysm of the right callosomarginal artery-cortical artery junction. We trapped the traumatic aneurysm and repositioned a galeal flap. Postoperative CT showed a small infarction in the left frontal lobe. Follow-up angiography two months later showed no residual aneurysm. We suggest that an aggressive surgical intervention be performed whenever TICA is diagnosed.

Two dogs presented with vomiting and head pressing. In both dogs, a large vessel was revealed in computed tomography (CT) angiography, which was found to leave the portal vein (PV) cranial to the splenomesenteric confluence and enter the pre-hepatic caudal vena cava cranial to the right renal vein. The flow of portal blood to the liver was not identified. Based on CT angiography, the dogs were suspected to have congenital PV aplasia with portocaval shunting. Diagnostic imaging of potential malformations for PV continuation should be conducted before attempting shunt closure.

Angiomyolipoma is a benign tumor that is composed of adipose tissue, blood vessels and smooth muscle. The kidney is the most common location of this tumor. In the larynx, angiomyolipoma has been rarely reported in the literature. We describe the patient of 64-year-old male with an angiomyolipoma arising from the vallecula. The tumor had a smooth surface with numerous small vessels and showed heterogeneous contrast enhancement on CT. The tumor was not adhesive to surrounding tissue and was completely removed by laryngomicrosurgery with $CO_2$ laser. Microscopically, the tumor is composed of mature adipose tissue, tortuous thick walled blood vessels and thick bundles of smooth muscle.

We experienced a case of the papillary thyroid carcinoma seen as a huge solid lateral neck mass. The mass grew very slowly over the period of 30years up to 10cm in diameter while relatively well sparing the surrounding tissues. Physical examinations, CT scan, and fine needle aspiration cytology did not reveal any strong suggestions for evidence of malignancy. But it was pathologically diagnosed as metastatic thyroid carcinoma by excisional biopsy. We emphasize that for a large solitary neck mass which persists for several decades, head and neck surgeons should always keep in mind the possibility of metastasis from the malignancy of thyroid gland.

A 62-year-old female patient had goiter for twenty years. She visited out-patient clinic with a hoarse voice and intermittent breathing difficulties. About protruding 15cm sized mass located the anterior neck and right vocal cord paralysis was observed. Preoperative CT scan was strongly suspected of thyroid gland cancer and cervical lymph node metastasis. Therefore, fine needle aspiration test was performed and surgical treatment was planned with the histopathologic results (papillary thyroid carcinoma). Surgery was performed with total thyroidectomy, bilateral cervical lymph node dissection, and right selective nodal lymph node dissection (level II-V). During operation right thyroid seemed to be adherent to surrounding tissue and the blood vessels were extremely engorged. There was hypotensive crisis because of intraoperative excessive bleeding. However it was managed by repetitive transfusion. The operation was completed without abnormalities. She underwent 4 times of bleeding control operation due to postoperative bleeding. After complications were improved, we are currently undergoing out-patient follow up without morbidity.

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is an benign non-neoplastic lesion most commonly occurring in oral cavity but extraoral PGCG is extremely rare. Recently, we experienced a case of an isolated PGCG in the parotid gland in 59-year-old man. FNAB findings and radiologic findings including CT and US were suggestive of Warthin's tumor. Partial parotidectomy was performed. Pathologic findings showed fibrillar connective tissue stroma with spindled, ovoid, and round histiocytes-like cells mixed with uneven multinuclear giant cells, small capillaries, hemorrhage, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, and necrosis which were consistent with giant cell granuloma. We report a case of an PGCG in parotid with a review of literature.
