Ultrasound (US) is a widely used imaging modality throughout the world, yet differences in usage remain among countries or regions, according to the results of the International Summit, organised by the ESR during the European Congress of Radiology last March in Vienna. The International Summit is held each year by the ESR and its partner national and international societies of radiology from o...

PURPOSE The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the medium-term clinical and radiological results after navigated cementless implantation, without patella resurfacing, of a total knee endoprosthesis with tibial and femoral press-fit components, with a focus on survival rate and clinical outcome. The innovation is the non-cemented fixation together with the use of a navigation sy...

Objective The purpose of this study is to describe the detailed surgical technique and short-term clinical and radiological outcomes of lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) and in situ lateral screw fixation using a conventional minimally invasive screw fixation system (MISF) for revision surgery to treat rostral lumbar adjacent segment disease. Methods The medical and radiological records ...

Eagle Syndrome is an underestimated syndrome with broad and often unspecific signs symptoms. Both the neuropathic vascular patterns need a thorough investigation in terms of all their clinical radiological aspects. A positional/dynamic study mandatory case suspicion due to strong influence head neck positions. This work aims propose new virtual technique able predict conflicts between styloid p...

Medical information systems and standards are increasingly based on principled models of at least three distinct sorts of information – patient data, concepts (terminology), and guidelines (decision support). Well defined interfaces are required between the three types of model to allow development to proceed independently. Two of the major issues to be dealt with in the defining of such interf...

BACKGROUND We retrospectively evaluated the clinical and radiological outcomes of posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with using a unilateral single cage and a local morselized bone graft. METHODS Fifty three patients who underwent PLIF with a unilateral single cage filled with local morselized bone graft were enrolled in this study. The average follow-up duration was 31.1 months. The cl...

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Simple renal cysts are a common entity, which may need observation and follow-up or treatment. The study, for the first time, systematically reviews the indications for follow-up or radiological treatment of simple renal cysts. To review the conservative and radiological management of simple renal cysts a systematic literature review was...

A total skin electron (TSE) floor technique is presented for treating patients who are unable to safely stand for extended durations. A customized flattening filter is used to eliminate the need for field junctioning, improve field uniformity, and reduce setup time. The flattening filter is constructed from copper and polycarbonate, fits into the linac's accessory slot, and is optimized to exte...

background: health hazards associated with exposure due to the natural radioactivity which is a part of our physical environment are of great concern. in order to assess the risks associated with exposure due to the natural radioactivity in soil and building materials, extensive studies have been carried out all over the world. the most commonly encountered radionuclide’s are 238u, 232th, their...
