PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare prostate volume measured by transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) between transaxial scanning and midsagittal scanning. We tried to determine which method is superior. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 968 patients who underwent TRUS for diagnosis of any diseases related to the prostate were included in this study. When measuring prostate volume by...

Five Swedish fricatives have been analysed in different vowel contexts using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The fricatives were acquired for sustained articulations in VCV context both in the midsagittal plane and in full 3D for one speaker of Swedish. The MR images were used for threedimensional reconstructions and extraction of the vocal tract outline in the midsagittal plane. This allowed...

BACKGROUND Due to complex pelvic geometry, percutaneous screw placement in the posterior acetabular column can pose a major challenge even for experienced surgeons. METHODS The present study examined the preformed bone stock of the posterior acetabular column in 260 hemipelvises. Retrograde posterior column screws were virtually implanted using iPlan CMF (BrainLAB AG, Feldkirchen, Germany); m...

Commissural projections are required for left-right coordination during locomotion. However, their role, if any, in rhythm production is unknown. This study uses the neonatal rat in vitro brain stem-spinal cord model to examine the rostrocaudal distribution of locomotor-related commissural projections and study whether commissural connections are needed for the generation of hindlimb rhythmic a...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether it is possible to use a two-dimensional (2D) standard in three-dimensional (3D) analysis, by comparing the angles and lengths measured from a midsagittal projection in 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with those measured by 2D lateral cephalometric radiography (LCR). METHODS Fifty patients who underwent both LCR and CBCT were selected as subjec...

BACKGROUND Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS) have a high prevalence of Chiari-like malformation (CM). Herniation of the cerebellum into the foramen magnum is a key diagnostic feature for CM. Midsagittal MR images are the preferred technique for visualizing cerebellar herniation (CH). OBJECTIVE To investigate whether CT can be used to diagnose CH. ANIMALS Fifteen client-owned CKCS dogs r...

We considered the hypothesis that the richness of callosal interhemispheric connections has a role in determining the degree of behavioural laterality and time-sharing ability in dual-task performance. Behavioural laterality as measured by dichotic word listening, line bisection and turning bias tests correlated inversely with the midsagittal cross-sectional area of the corpus callosum, as seen...
