Background A landmark for the identification of lingual artery (LA) through a transoral perspective can provide surgeons with an easy method to prevent and manage intraoperative bleeding during approach base tongue (BOT). Methods Thirteen five head neck specimens were dissected identify assess reliability point (LP) as new LA at BOT. The pathway 42 LAs was radiologically evaluated; axial depth ...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Intraoral scanners have been reported to have limited accuracy in edentulous areas. Large amounts of mobile tissue and the lack of obvious anatomic landmarks make it difficult to acquire a precise digital impression of an edentulous area with an intraoral scanner. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the effect of an artificial landmark on a long ed...

Cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has advanced to become a powerful diagnostic tool in clinical practice. Automatic detection of anatomic landmarks from MR images is important for structural and functional analysis of the heart. Learning-based object detection methods have demonstrated their capabilities to handle large variations of the object by exploring a local region, context, around...

introduction: mental foramen (mf) is an important anatomic landmark in dentistry and knowledge about its variable locations (l) and type of emergence (te), has an effect on the sufficiency of local anesthesia and safety of surgical procedures. the aim of this study was to evaluate the l and te of this radiographic landmark as well as the presence of accessory mf, by means of cone-beam computed ...

Office-based ultrasonography has become increasingly available in many settings, and its use to guide joint and soft tissue injections has increased. Numerous studies have been conducted to evaluate the use of ultrasound-guided injections over traditional landmark-guided injections, with a rapid growth in the literature over the past few years. A comprehensive review of the literature was condu...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a common bariatric procedure. The operation is relatively standard, but there are still variations among surgeons. The two main variations are bougie size and extent of distal resection. Some surgeons will start the gastric resection at 2 cm proximal to the pylorus, whereas others start at 6 cm. Our hypothesis is that there are anatom...
