The clinical examination of residual limb complications is usually subjective and may lead to inappropriate, expensive adjustments or replacement of the prosthesis. Plain films and xeroradiography only provide static images of the residual limb and socket. The purpose of this pilot study was to develop a videofluoroscopic technique to evaluate dynamic residual limb-socket relationships during g...

Glenoid loosening after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) remains a major concern. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of radiolucent lines (RLLs) after TSA performed with modern glenoid bone preparation and cement techniques for keeled-back glenoid components. One hundred ten consecutive patients with osteoarthritis were included in this study. Patients had undergone prima...

UNLABELLED Equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography (ERNA) scans are used to evaluate left ventricular function and pericardial anatomy. A photopenic "U-halo" around the cardiac blood pool in the left anterior oblique (LAO) view is commonly seen with pericardial effusion. We describe findings of false-positive pericardial effusion due to breast attenuation in cancer patients. METHODS Severa...

BACKGROUND This study was performed to investigate the relationship between coronal computed tomography (CT) and Broden's view in terms of location of the fracture line and fracture pattern. METHODS Forty-five feet of 45 patients with intraarticular calcaneal fractures were evaluated. The mean age of the patients was 46.3 years (standard deviation, 18.1; range, 15 to 80 years), and there were...

Elbow fracture diagnosis often requires patients to take both frontal and lateral views of elbow X-ray radiographs. In this paper, we propose a multiview deep learning method for an subtype classification task. Our strategy leverages transfer by first training two single-view models, one view the other view, then transferring weights corresponding layers in proposed network architecture. Meanwh...

Background & Aims: Two famous methods are commonly used for the measurement of carpal height ratio. Both methods are performed on anteroposterior radiogram and have some shortcomings. We are going to introduce a new method for measuring this index in lateral view of the wrist radiogram' Methods: This cross-sectional and case-control study was conducted on 100 anteroposterior and lateral radiogr...

ions from biomechanical models, to neurobiological implementations (e.g. Robinson, 1986) or Bayesian models. This study is both novel and important because – using a neurobiologically plausible hierarchical Bayesian model – it demonstrates that using generalized coordinates to finesse the prediction of a target's motion, the model can reproduce characteristic properties of tracking eye movement...

PURPOSE Previous studies have described the complex undulation pattern in the distal femoral physis. We investigated whether standard radiographs can visualize these landmarks, in order to guide hardware placement in the distal immature femur. METHODS We studied 36 cadaveric immature femora in specimens 3 to 18 years of age. Anteroposterior (AP) and lateral radiographs were obtained with and ...

A 19-year-old male professional Taekwondo athlete presented with a 2-year history of pain-free snapping of his right knee. He reported that his right knee joint gave way during games and training and that he could induce pain-free snapping between the proximal-to-fibular head and the lateral knee joint line. None of these physical findings suggested a meniscal pathology or ligamentous instabili...

AIMS To characterize mitral medial and lateral annular velocities in constrictive pericarditis or restrictive cardiomyopathy compared with normal subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS Tissue Doppler imaging peak systolic velocity (S'), peak early diastolic annular velocity (e'), and timing difference between mitral early flow and early annular movement were measured in 14 patients with constrictive p...
