Evaluation of occipitocervical neutral position using lateral radiographs

Evaluation of occipitocervical neutral position using lateral radiographs

BACKGROUND Intraoperative assessment of neutral occipitocervical balance during a fusion procedure is challenging. We designed this study to introduce a more comprehensive method of evaluating the occipitocervical neutral position using lateral radiographs. METHODS One hundred neutral lateral cervical spine radiographs interpreted as normal were studied. Cervical spine radiographs were perfor...

Measuring acetabular component position on lateral radiographs - ischio-lateral method.

The standard method for the evaluation of arthritis and postoperative assessment of arthroplasty treatment is observation and measurement from plain films, using the flm edge for orientation. A more recent employment of an anatomical landmark, the ischial tuberosity, has come into use as orientation for evaluation and is called the ischio-lateral method. In this study, the use of this method wa...

Using lateral radiographs to determine umbilical venous catheter tip position in neonates.

We aimed to assess the difference in measurement of the distance of the UVC tip from the diaphragm between (Anteroposterior) AP and lateral radiographs and to determine the reliability of the measurement of UVC tip distance from the diaphragm between the two views. A retrospective review of paired AP and lateral radiographs taken to assess UVC tip position was carried out in 25 infants was cond...

Fully automatic segmentation and evaluation of lateral spine radiographs

Evaluation of mental foramen position from panoramic dental radiographs.

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the position of mental foramen by measuring the vertical bone height from digital panoramic radiograph and also the variation of resorption pattern by gender and extraction time frame. Materials and methods/study design: Digital panoramic radiographs of 500 patients were reviewed. The study population was divided into four age groups aged 30 to 70 years as (30-39, 40-49, 50-5...
