Mind the guideline gap: emergent CT in patients with epilepsy for trauma rule-out—A retrospective cohort study
Orthopedics Imaging 4 min.
Non-contrast head computed tomography (CT) has become one of the most frequently ordered diagnostic investigations in the emergency department (ED), and numbers are still on the rise [3, 20]. Its perceived usefulness and wide availability have led to a high degree of clinicians` reliance on the procedure,...
Bilateral same-day transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy using computed tomography-based navigation: a case report
Orthopedics Imaging 4 min.
Transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy (TRO) has been reported to be an effective joint-preserving surgery for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in young patients with extensive areas of necrosis to reduce disease progression and pain [1, 2]. However, postoperative outcomes have...
Enhancing the accuracy of cup placement in total hip arthroplasty using CT-based navigation by a trainee surgeon: a retrospective cohort study
Orthopedics Imaging 6 min.
Recently, there has been a growing interest in muscle-sparing surgical approaches for total hip arthroplasty (THA), such as the direct anterior approach and the anterolateral supine approach (ALS) performed in the supine position. These approaches have been reported to decrease the risk of dislocation...
A novel prognostic model utilizing TMTV and SUVmax from 18F-FDG PET/CT for predicting overall survival in patients with extranodal NK/T- cell lymphoma
Orthopedics Imaging 4 min.
Extra-nodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infection and extra-nodal lymph node involvement [1, 2]. Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has become an...
Head-to-head comparison of 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in common gynecological malignancies
Orthopedics Imaging 4 min.
Recent statistics indicate that breast cancer (11.6%), cervical cancer (3.3%), and ovarian cancer (1.6%) are the most commonly diagnosed gynecological malignancies. They also represent the leading causes of cancer deaths among women, accounting for 6.9%, 3.6%, and 2.1%, respectively [1]. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose...
