Use of computed tomographic reconstruction in planning osteotomies of the hip.

Conventional Voxel in Tomographic Reconstruction Based upon Plane-Integral Projections – Use It or Lose It?

Introduction: While the necessity of replacing voxels with blobs in conventional tomographic reconstruction based upon line-integrals is clear, it is not however well-investigated in plane- integral-based reconstruction. The problem is more challenging in convergent-plane projection reconstruction. In this work, we are aiming at utilizing blobs as alternative to voxels. <stron...

Mandibular Dimensional Changes with aging in Three Dimensional Computed Tomographic Study in 21 to 50 Year old Men and Women

Introduction: Raising the knowledge of skeletal and soft tissue changes with aging has been highly essential due to an increasing demand for aesthetic facial surgery following aging. The aim of this study is to evaluate the three dimensional computed tomographic images and process of changes in mandible with aging. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the facial CT scans were obta...

Application of a 3-dimensional printed navigation template in Bernese periacetabular osteotomies

The aim of the present study was to describe the application of 3D printed templates for intraoperative navigation and simulation of periacetabular osteotomies (PAOs) in a cadaveric model.Five cadaveric specimens (10 sides) underwent thin-slice computed tomographic scans of the ala of ilium downwards to the proximal end of femoral shaft. Bernese PAO was performed. Using Mimics v10.1 software (M...

Inguinal Bladder Hernia: Use of Virtual Computed Tomographic Cystography

Determining the Cost of Incidental Findings for Patients Undergoing Preoperative Planning for Abdominally Based Perforator Free Flap Breast Reconstruction with Computed Tomographic Angiography.

BACKGROUND Computed tomographic angiography is increasingly used during surgical planning for abdominally based microvascular breast reconstruction. Cost-analysis studies have demonstrated a benefit to the use of computed tomographic angiography, although the secondary costs of incidental findings have not been previously reported. This study investigates the cost of computed tomographic angiog...
