Metal artefact reduction software (MAR) can be used to improve Computed Tomography (CT) image quality in the presence of implanted metalwork; however, this software is not effective for superficial me...
In this two-part study, a CI was positioned on the surface of water and anthropomorphic phantoms and imaged using a helical CT brain protocol. Three TMM, Superflab, Sure Thermal heat packs, and Bart's...
In the water phantom, statistically significant reductions in CT number (p = 0.038) and noise (p = 0.033) were observed for Superflab, whilst the heat packs produced similar significant reductions in ...
The additional use of TMM alongside MAR software yielded statistically significant reductions in CI induced metal artefacts on both water and anthropomorphic phantom scans with minimal dose increases....
The extent of metal artefacts in clinical head scans with CI in place could be significantly reduced through combined use of TMM and MAR software, consequently providing greater diagnostic confidence ...
One common method to determine tibiofemoral kinematics following total knee replacement (TKR) is to capture single-plane fluoroscopic images of a patient activity and determine anterior-posterior (AP)...
To analyze the correlation between the prostate necrosis rate at 1-month after prostatic artery embolization (PAE) and the clinical efficacy at 1-year after PAE, and to explore potential predictors of...
The prostate magnetic resonance imaging data at 1-month after PAE were imported into 3D Slicer software for calculating the prostate necrosis rate and thus analyzing the relationship between the prost...
There was a linear negative correlation between the prostate necrosis rate at 1-month after PAE and the efficacy score ratio at 1-year after surgery (P < 0.001). In the clinical success group, both th...
The higher the prostate necrosis rate at 1-month after PAE, the better the clinical efficacy at 1-year after PAE is likely to be, and the prostate necrosis rate at 1-month after PAE is expected to bec...
Using the World Health Organization Classification 5th edition (beta version online; WHO-HAEM5bv) in emerging economies is key to global healthcare equity. Although there may be ongoing updates, hesit...

At the time of hospital admission, automated complete blood count (CBC) with differential count showed slight anemia, slight lymphocytosis, and moderate thrombocytopenia. HIV serology was negative. Wh...
Although Vietnam, an emerging economy, currently lacks the laboratory infrastructure to more rigorously confirm a rare synchronous presentation of two distinct EBV-driven T/NK cell neoplasms, these tw...
Chest radiography (chest X-ray or CXR) plays an important role in the early detection of active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). In areas with a high TB burden that require urgent screening, there is ofte...
We validated the effectiveness and safety of pulmonary tuberculosis imaging screening software that is based on a convolutional neural network algorithm....
We conducted prospective multicenter clinical research to validate the performance of pulmonary tuberculosis imaging screening software (JF CXR-1). Volunteers under the age of 15 years, both with or w...
The clinical research was conducted in six general infectious disease hospitals across China. A total of 1,165 participants were enrolled, and 1,161 were enrolled in the full analysis set (FAS). Men a...
The software for tuberculosis screening based on a convolutional neural network algorithm is effective and safe. It is a potential candidate for solving tuberculosis screening problems in areas lackin...
Although the association between Too-Long Anterior Calcaneal Process (TLACP) and osteochondral lesion of the dome of the talus (OCL) has been hypothesized, no study has investigated the interrelations...
This is a retrospective study of 69 CT scans of 54 consecutive children aged 11-15 years who had undergone a CT scan due to symptomatology suggestive of TLACP. The 3D Slicer software allowed to calcul...
Amid the 69 CT scans, 49 were found to have pathologies related to TLACP (71%, TLACP Group) and 20/69 were normal (29%, Control Group). The mean hind and mid-tarsal bone volumes of the TLACP group wer...
TLACP tend to stiffen the foot, modifying its biomechanics and leading to supination of the talus and pronation of the calcaneum. This induces an overpressure at the medial side of the talus where we ...

To quantify the accuracy of Dolphin Imaging software in predicting soft tissue changes of Class II Division 1 incisor relationship treated by all first premolar extraction compared with actual changes...
Pretreatment and post-treatment lateral cephalograms of 30 young adult subjects (25 females and 5 males; age range of 16 to 21 years) were imported and traced in Dolphin Imaging software (version 11.9...
There were significant differences between the predicted and actual values in three parameters of the Holdaway soft tissue analysis (P < 0.05). The overall accuracy of estimation was better in vertica...
Dolphin Imaging Software (version 11.95) can be accurate enough for use in patient communication and education but should be used with caution. It is most accurate in predicting soft tissue changes in...
Aortic blood flow characterization by 4D flow MRI is increasingly performed in aneurysm research. A limited number of studies have established normal values that can aid the recognition of abnormal fl...
