Learning CT-to-electron-density mapping for radiotherapy treatment planning using neural networks
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
Electron density (ED) maps derived from spectral computed tomography (CT) offer superior accuracy-particularly in critical regions such as bone, metal implants, and areas with contrast agents-but their clinical adoption is limited by high equipment costs. This study aims to bridge this gap by developing...
Opportunistic Quantitative Computed Tomography Assessing Bone Mineral Density in Patients With Laparoscopic Roux-En-Y-Gastric Bypass Metabolic Surgery Throughout a 5-Year Observation Window.
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
Bariatric surgery is associated with decreasing bone mineral density (BMD). Objective: To assess the long-term vertebral BMD, measured by opportunistic quantitative CT (QCT), and body mass index (BMI) in patients undergoing proximal laparoscopic Roux-en-Y surgery (LRYGB)....
What Is the Functional Spinopelvic Relationship in Three Dimensions? A CT and EOS Study.
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
Understanding the spinopelvic relationship is essential in THA planning, especially given the elevated hip dislocation risk in patients exhibiting abnormal spinopelvic movements. Rotations of the spinopelvic unit affect the functional orientation of the acetabulum and, in turn, the placement of the acetabular...
Ultrasound-Guided Biceps Femoris Short Head Block for Posterolateral Knee Analgesia After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Report.
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
The biceps femoris short head (BiFeS) block is a novel, ultrasound-guided, motor-sparing regional anesthesia technique targeting the posterolateral sensory innervation of the knee. We present two unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) cases in which BiFeS was combined with adductor canal block (ACB)...
