Echocardiography (Mount Kisco, N.Y.)
The response rate to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may be improved if echocardiographic-derived parameters are used to guide the left ventricular (LV) lead deployment. Tools to visually integrate deformation imaging and fluoroscopy to take advantage of the combined information are lacking. An image fusion tool for echo-guided LV lead plac...

Abstract Introduction Dysphagia, when left untreated, can result in an increase in morbidity and mortality rates, especially among infants with history of life-threatening neonatal diseases. The videofluoroscopy swallowing study (VFSS) is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of dysphagia. There are few imaging studies of infant swallowing...

Background: This study aims to test the hypothesis that: (1) radiation exposure is increased with the intended use of Flat Surface Image Intensifier (FSII) units above the operative surface compared with the traditional below-table configuration; (2) this differential increases in a dose-dependent manner; and (3) radiation exposure varies with body...

Introduction: Urologists are increasingly exposed to fluoroscopy, which can cause cellular damage. Appropriate awareness and safety precautions concerning fluoroscopy are necessary and likely should be a focus during training. We sought to assess radiation safety knowledge among Urology residents in the United States. Methods: A 19-question survey ...

Quality control testing of radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging systems requires positioning of test objects in the x-ray beam in a precise and repeatable fashion. In this work we present several three-dimensional (3D) printed testing aids that improve efficiency, accuracy, and repeatability of quality control testing. We also present a new device...

This study was performed to explore the effect of the aortic arch type on technical indicators in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS). The data of 224 consecutive patients who underwent unilateral CAS from January 2011 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The requirement for placement of the guiding catheter into the common...

The use of biplanar high-speed x-ray fluoroscopy to study fast, 3D movements that are inaccessible from external views has grown significantly in the past decade. Owing to the development of specialised software for calibration, distortion correction, and automated tracking of radio-opaque marker implants, this technique will soon become the standa...
