Abstract Background Dual-energy CT (DECT) is a non-invasive way to determine the presence of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in the workup of gout. Color-coding distinguishes MSU from calcium following material…
Abstract Background Recent studies have shown that an increased number of axillary lymph node metastases is associated with non-visualized lymph nodes. The purpose of the study was to retrospectively analyze…
Highlights • At equivalent bone mineral density, osteoporotic vertebral fractures are more frequent in patients who had deficits in their paravertebral and psoas muscles. • Paravertebral and psoas muscle deficit…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical feasibility of deep learning reconstruction-accelerated thin-slice single-breath-hold half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin echo imaging (HASTE DL ) for detecting…
Abstract Rationale and objectives A new microcatheter was recently developed claiming to reduce beads reflux in drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE). The aim of this study was to compare the…
Abstract Purpose To assess the efficacy of the gelatin torpedoes embolization technique after lung neoplastic lesions percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) to reduce chest tube placement rate and hospital length of…
Abstract Background Abdominal radiographs remain useful in newborns. Given the high radiation sensitivity of this population, it is necessary to optimize acquisition techniques to minimize radiation exposure. Objective Evaluate the…
Highlights • Non-invasive subtyping of HCA remains challenging for several subtypes, thus carrying different levels of risks and management; to date, ß-HCA and sh-HCA are not detected and no discrimination…
Abstract Objective Our study aims to quantitatively determine the concavity of the glenoid articular surface in patients with hypermobile shoulders compared to those without. Method We examined medical records of…
Abstract Background Traditionally, transforaminal steroid injection is performed in the management of cervical radiculopathy in medical failure treatment but carried a true risk of catastrophic complication. Another approach currently used…
