Comparison of 96-kV and 120-kV cone-beam CT for the assessment of cochlear implants.

Background: To compare the diagnostic value of 120-kV with conventional 96-kV Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) of the temporal bone after cochlear implant (CI) surgery.

Methods: This retrospective study included CBCT scans after CI surgery between 06/17 and 01/18. CBCT allowed examinations with 96-kV or 120-kV; other parameters were the same.

Free-breathing accelerated whole-body MRI using an automated workflow: Comparison with conventional breath-hold sequences.

Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become increasingly popular in oncology. However, the long acquisition time might hamper its widespread application. We sought to assess and compare free-breathing sequences with conventional breath-hold examinations in whole-body MRI using an automated workflow process.

MRI analysis of uterine ischaemia as a form of non-target embolisation following uterine artery embolisation: incidence, extent and outcome.

Aim: To study the incidence, extent and fate of uterine ischaemia as one of the forms of non-target embolisation following uterine artery embolisation (UAE), as detected on immediate post-embolisation and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations at the 3-month follow-up.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was undertaken comprising 43 women (mean age: 44.8 ± 3.

Impact of rescanning and repositioning on radiomic features employing a multi-object phantom in magnetic resonance imaging.

Our purpose was to analyze the robustness and reproducibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomic features. We constructed a multi-object fruit phantom to perform MRI acquisition as scan-rescan using a 3 Tesla MRI scanner. We applied T2-weighted (T2w) half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE), T2w turbo spin-echo (TSE), T2w fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), T2 map and T1-weighted (T1w) TSE.

Assessment of muscle volume using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in football players after hamstring injuries.

Muscle injuries of the hamstrings are among the most frequent in football and a main cause for significant time away from training and competition. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the loss of muscle volume in recreational football players three and six weeks after initial trauma. We hypothesized that significant muscle volume loss occurs within 6 weeks after the initial injury event.
