This study was performed Nuclear Medicine Department of Fadil Specialist Center and Elnileen Medical Center in Khartoum for 25 Ischemic heart disease patients associated with CAO. This paper presented an appropriate approach for the robust estimation of noise statistic in nuclear cardiology images. The main objective of this study was to Improve of Nuclear Cardiology Images for Ischemic Patients using Image Processing Techniques. For the Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography machine (SPECT) each imaged had been taken for each single case with guidance of ECG trigger by injected patients with (20 mci) of Tc99m-MIBI, then patient wait for 45 min to 1 hour. The scanned image saved as TIFF format images in computer for reservation of image quality. The data analyzed using MatLab program to enhance the cardiac images and adenosine them. To achieve maximum image quality after denoising, a new, low order, local adaptive Gaussian Scale Mixture model is presented, which accomplishes nonlinearities from scattering. State of art methods use multi scale filtering of images to reduce the irrelevant part of information, based on generic estimation of noise. In this, paper, prominent constraints are firstly preservation of image's overall look; secondly, preservation of the diagnostic content in the image and thirdly detection of small low contrast details in diagnostic content of the image.Keywords

The palliative treatment as active total treat of patients whose disease is not quick to respond to therapeutic management. The intention of the management in the palliative treatment phase are mainly to control the symptoms, to enhance the value of life to patients who have limited remaining period. The aim of the study to evaluate the treatment of pain protocols for chemo-irradiation Patients using the EORTC-QOL-C30 survey form and patients' prognosis. This study is a cross-sectional study, which was performed in amongst the cancer patients in Sudan. The sample magnitude was 100 patients whose different types of tumors. All patients were underwent chemo-irradiation. The radiotherapy was delivered by using tele-cobalt and Linear acceralator machines. The prescribed radiation dose was (20-30 Gy for 4 sessions or five Gy fraction for 6 sessions). The following information was retrieved form patients' files system: patient age, gender, symptoms and its intervals, site of tumor and its magnitude, pain valuation, management outcomes, transfers and obedience to it, condition after treatment, and general condition at last recovery duration. The average age of the patients was 59 + 7.7 years (female) and 58 + 9.1 (male) (p < 0.005). Each EORTC-QOL-C30 questionnaire used to evaluate the patients' condition. The results of this research showed that there was augmentation stated (p < 0.005) in health related quality of life (HRQOL). The most patient’s use type of drugs of chemotherapy to treatment are platinum and less number, patient’s use drugs are Alkylating and Vinca alkaloids agents.Keywords
