Probabilistic predictions of penetrating injury to anatomic structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an interactive 3D graphical system which allows the user to visualize different bullet path hypotheses and stab wound paths and computes the probability that an anatomical structure associated with a given penetration path is injured. Probabilities can help to identify those anatomical structures which have potentially critical damage from penetrating trauma and differentiate these from structures that are not seriously injured.

Combining Geometric and Probabilistic Reasoning for Computer-based Penetrating- Trauma Assessment
Design: The authors created a computer system (TraumaSCAN) that integrates three-dimensional geometric reasoning about anatomic likelihood of injury with probabilistic reasoning about injury consequences using Bayesian networks. Preliminary evaluation of TraumaSCAN was performed via a retrospective study testing performance of the system on data from 26 cases of actual gunshot wounds. Measureme...
متن کاملSuccessful Removal of a Rivet from the Heart of a Boy with Penetrating Cardiac Injury: A case Report and Literature Review
Introduction: Penetrating cardiac injuries generally occur secondary to gunshot or stab wounds and have a high mortality rate. They are rare and often fatal in children. When a foreign object penetrates the myocardium, it is dangerous to remove it, suddenly, and should be removed gradually to prevent excessive bleeding. Case report: We report a case of an unusual penetrating cardiac injury in a...
متن کاملNon-visible penetrating brain trauma: a case report
Objective: One of the most frequent causes of death and acquired disability in the pediatric population is the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). TBI is secondary to falls, road traffic and vehicle collisions, child abuse and assaults. Penetrating brain injury is a severe form of traumatic brain injury. Blunt head injury is more frequent than TBI in children, but the second one carries a poor progno...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Solution for Partially Penetrating Wells with Various Reservoir Structures
This paper presents analytical solutions and simulations for pressure transient behavior of the partially penetrating wells (PPWs). The Newman’s product method was adopted to develop the basic instantaneous source functions which characterize the response of PPWs. These results were obtained based on the solution of fully penetrating wells (FPWs) and they were presented in Laplace domain. Furth...
متن کاملUsing ontologies linked with geometric models to reason about penetrating injuries
OBJECTIVE Medical assessment of penetrating injuries is a difficult and knowledge-intensive task, and rapid determination of the extent of internal injuries is vital for triage and for determining the appropriate treatment. Physical examination and computed tomographic (CT) imaging data must be combined with detailed anatomic, physiologic, and biomechanical knowledge to assess the injured subje...
