Comparison between dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and calcaneal quantitative ultrasound for determining bone mineral density in children living with HIV in uganda: A cross- sectional study
Orthopedics Imaging 4 min.
Globally, there are 39 million people living with HIV (PLWH) with 1.3 million new infections. 1.4 million are children living with HIV(CLWH) [1]. 90% of the children live in the sub-Saharan Africa. Due to the scale up of antiretroviral therapy, children are now surviving much longer into...
Artifacts affecting dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and bone mineral density measurements: a case report and review of the literature
Orthopedics Imaging 2 min.
Osteoporosis and osteopenia are highly prevalent in American adults over the age of 50 years, up to 55% [1, 2]. Osteopenia has a prevalence of four times greater than osteoporosis for most fractures in this population [2, 3–4]. The hips, vertebrae, and wrists are seen as sites with the greatest...
Ultrasound-guided joint procedures in hemophilia: technique, indications and tips
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
The therapeutic approach to pain in hemophilia should be multimodal. Intra-articular injections are a good option when joint lesions do not respond to hematological treatment or rehabilitation and orthopedic surgery is not yet indicated. Performing these procedures under ultrasound guidance has been...
Computed tomography-derived myocardial radiomics for detection of transthyretin amyloidosis in patients with severe aortic stenosis
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
We explored the value of myocardial radiomics by computed tomography angiography (CTA) for detection of transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). The study included 589 patients with aortic stenosis and CTA datasets. Radiomics were extracted from LV myocardium. Arm 1 (n = 400)...
