Abstract Brachytherapy has an excellent clinical outcome for different treatment sites. However, in vivo verification is not performed the majority of hospitals due to lack proper monitoring systems. This study investigates use imaging panel (IP) and photons emitted by a high dose rate (HDR) 192 Ir source track motion obtain some information related patient anatomy. The feasibility this approac...

We report a case of a female patient whose routine chest radiograph revealed numerous small, linear, radiopaque foreign bodies. These were determined to be permanently implanted acupuncture needles. We describe the imaging appearance of these wires, discuss the potential for complications and briefly review the pertinent literature.

Recent improvements in digital C-arm radiographic units permit the safe and effective performance of cerebral angiography in the operating room. Intraoperative cerebral angiography, in turn, facilitates more effective aneurysm surgery and arteriovenous malformation therapy (1 , 2]. A variety of radiolucent carbon fiber head holders are now available for use in neurosurgical procedures that invo...

Abstract Background and Aims Analysis of the pathogenetic mechanisms development contrast nephropathy in patients with coronary artery disease on background type 2 diabetes mellitus effectiveness proposed preventive measures. Method The study included 56 diabetes, average age was 58 years, CG consisted 20 healthy persons. In most patients, reason for which endovascular radiopaque procedure (EVR...

We report two new radiographic projections for evaluating avulsion fractures at the lateral malleolus. We used seven freshly amputated legs with simulated avulsion fractures and radiopaque markers to assess their value. The projections allow accurate assessment of the displacement of fragments without superimposition, and also show whether they affect the anterior talofibular or the calcaneofib...

We report a complication of radiopaque wire breakage from the medullary tube during closed antegrade intramedullary nailing for a femoral shaft fracture. To avoid such complication, the medullary tube should be checked carefully for colour changes and surface defects, and tested for flexibility before each use. The medullary tube should also be replaced before 100 exposures to autoclaving.

This study visually compared the radiopacity of seven restorative materials (3 resin-modified glass-ionomer cements, 3 polyacid-modified composite resins, and 1 conventional glass-ionomer cement) to a sound tooth structure sample, and an aluminium stepwedge. All hybrid materials were more radiopaque, except for one resin-modified glass-ionomer cement, than both the tooth structure and conventio...
