This study compared quantitative cartilage ultrasound metrics between people with (n=12) and without (n=12) arthroscopic cartilage damage after anterior cruciate ligament injury (age, 24.9 +/- 3.7 y; sex, 33% female, 67% male; days since injury=50 +/- 52). A transverse suprapatellar ultrasound assessment imaged the femoral cartilage in participants...
This presentation is part of the PEER Liberia Radiology Lecture Series. The presentation provides an overview of abdominal ultrasound of the liver. Evaluation of the liver demands a comprehensive survey through all the tissue. The practitioner must use a variety of scan planes, acoustic windows and patient positions in order to achieve this. It is ...
This presentation is part of the PEER Liberia Radiology Lecture Series. The presentation provides an overview of how to perform abdominal ultrasound of the pancreas. Knowledge of pancreatic anatomy and its appearance on ultrasound is essential for accurate image interpretation. Ultrasound of the pancreas is a useful initial imaging modality for sus...
This presentation is part of the PEER Liberia Radiology Lecture Series. The presentation provides an overview of how to perform an abdominal ultrasound of the gallbladder and biliary tree.
This presentation is part of the PEER Liberia Radiology Lecture Series. The presentation provides an overview of how to perform an abdominal ultrasound of the kidneys.
OBJECTIVES: Temporal muscle thickness (TMT) is a surrogate marker of sarcopenia, correlated with survival expectancy in patients suffering from brain metastases and recurrent or treated glioblastoma. We evaluated the prognostic relevance of TMT measured on brain MRIs acquired at diagnosis in patients affected by glioblastoma. METHODS: We retrospect...
This presentation is part of the PEER Liberia Radiology Lecture Series. The presentation provides an overview of pediatric plain films radiology. Different approaches are discussed.
PURPOSE: The first-pass effect during mechanical thrombectomy improves clinical outcomes regardless of first-line treatment approach, but current success rates for complete clot capture with one attempt are still less than 40%. We hypothesize that the ThrombX retriever (ThrombX Medical Inc.) can better engage challenging clot models during retrieva...
PURPOSE: Post-reconstruction filtering is often applied for noise suppression due to limited data counts in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We study a deep learning (DL) approach for denoising in conventional SPECT-MPI acquisitions, and investigate whether it can be more effective for impr...
Preliminary experience with distal radial artery (dRA) access for diagnostic cerebral angiography and some neurointerventional procedures has proved to be promising with good technical results and a reliable safety profile. Vascular access via the dRA may further improve minimally invasive treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Between July 2019 and ...
