Investigation of the correlation between radiomorphometric indices in cone-beam computed tomography images and dual X-ray absorptiometry bone density test results in postmenopausal women
Orthopedics Imaging 5 min.
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mineral density and microarchitectural deterioration, which results in increased bone fragility and a heightened risk of fractures. This condition is a significant public health concern worldwide, particularly affecting elderly...
Preoperative computed tomography assessment of peri-hip muscles in patients with femoral neck fracture and its impact on postoperative walking function
Orthopedics Imaging 5 min.
With the aging population, the global incidence of proximal femoral fractures was estimated at 1.6 million annually in 2000 and is expected to rise to 6.3 million annually by 2050 [1]. Many patients with proximal femoral fractures already exhibit a reduction in skeletal muscle mass before injury [2]....
Grading chondroid tumors through MRI radiomics: enchondroma, low-grade chondrosarcoma and higher-grade chondrosarcoma
Orthopedics Imaging 4 min.
Cartilaginous bone tumor is composed of chondroid matrix and tumor cells with chondrocyte differentiation [1]. The majority of cartilaginous bone tumors are enchondromas, the second most common benign bone tumors [2]. Whereas, chondrosarcoma is the third most common primary malignant tumor of the bone...
Assessing implant position and bone properties after cementless total knee arthroplasty using weight-bearing computed tomography
Orthopedics Imaging 4 min.
The ideal positioning of components in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a topic of debate [1]. Assessment of component positioning is most often performed from standing hip-to-ankle radiographs [2]. Short film radiographs can be an acceptable alternative in some instances but are not as accurate...
