computed tomographyrepresents about 10% of all diagnostic radiology procedures, but it isresponsible for almost 50% - 60% of exposure from diagnostic procedures. inhead ct, other critical organs such as eye lenses and thyroids are in theradiation field. therefore, dose assessment in these organs is very important.the aim of this study is to estimate the absorbed dose in critical organs ofpatien...

Background: Gestational age estimation in third trimester is very crucial to impart holistic antenatal care and a pre-requisite plan various interventions. Transcerebellar diameter can predict gestational reliably as it grows progressively with gestation not affected by fetal lie, skull shape growth disorders. This study was performed compare TCD conventional parameters like BPD, HC, FL AC accu...

The authors describe the case of a 37-year-old patient who sustained a subcapital femoral neck fracture six months after ICLH double-cup hip resurfacing. As the polyethylene acetabular resurfacing component was undamaged and well fixed, a standard femoral stem with a bipolar head was inserted. The outer diameter of the bipolar head was chosen to fit the resurfacing socket. The "tripolar" hip ar...

The distribution of hyaline cartilage in the sagittal plane of the normal human femoral head was examined. 28 specimens from persons aged 10 to 68 years subject to post-mortem examination in a teaching hospital were anatomically orientated and x-rayed in a lateromedial projection. An optical technique was used to measure the cartilage thickness from the x-ray films thus produced. Measurements w...

Introduction: Studies have shown that frictional forces in an acetabular component during the gait cycle may be a contributing factor to acetabular shell loosening.1,2 Recent publications have indicated that metal shell deformation can cause secondary forces attributed to insertion technique of press-fit components.3,4 In addition, it is also recognized that larger diameter femoral heads offer ...
