The present study examines the role of computed tomography (CT) scan in patients with traumatic brain injury and discusses the demographic details, injury distribution, intracranial imaging findings, and identifies the risk factors to request a CT scan in patients with suspected traumatic brain injury (TBI).[1] It is beyond doubt that the CT is rapid, widely available, and one of the most valua...

Relative location prediction in computed tomography (CT) scan images is a challenging problem. In this paper, a regression model based on one-dimensional convolutional neural networks is proposed to determine the relative location of a CT scan image both robustly and precisely. A public dataset is employed to validate the performance of the study’s proposed method using a 5-fold cross validatio...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CTP imaging in the interventional suite could reduce delays to the start of image-guided interventions and help determine the treatment progress and end point. However, C-arms rotate slower than clinical CT scanners, making CTP challenging. We developed a cerebral CTP protocol for C-arm CBCT and evaluated it in an animal study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five anesthetized sw...

Background and Aim: Pulmonary thromboembolism is an important clinical problem in the patients after major surgeries and is often difficult to diagnose because of nonspecific clinical symptoms. Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is based on medical imaging methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of CT pulmonary angiographies of the patients with primary clinical diagnosis of pul...

A 5-year-old girl tripped while carrying a bowl of rice and plastic chopsticks. One the chopsticks penetrated medial aspect right upper eyelid. In emergency room, she was fully conscious without any evident neurological damage. From computed tomography (CT) study ([Fig. 1A B]) three-dimensional reconstruction 1C]), chopstick found to be passing through superior orbital fissure into cranium. No ...

background: the aim of this study is to evaluate the geometry of the distal femur and the proximal tibia in the osteoarthritic knee using 3d reconstructive ct scan imaging. methods: 449 patients with knee osteoarthritis were treated surgically in our center with patient-specific technology total knee arthroplasty. preoperatively, all the patients underwent a ct scan according to a standard prot...

PURPOSE To investigate the dose variation between follow-up CT examinations, when a patient is examined several times on the same scanner with the identical scan protocol which comprised automated exposure control. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study was approved by the local ethics committee. The volume computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) and the dose-length-product (DLP) were...

Biomechanics testing of the lumbar spine, using cadaveric specimens, has the advantage of using actual tissue, but has several disadvantages including variability between specimens and difficultly acquiring measures such as disc pressure, bone strain, and facet joint contact pressure. A simulation model addresses all of these disadvantages. The objective of this work is to develop a method to s...
