Purpose: The diameters of the abdominal aorta and its branches are affected by demographic properties of patients like age, sex or body mass index. Some researchers use the body of the first lumbar vertebra (L1) as an anatomical indicator to create an exact standard for diagnosing arterial aneurysms or stenoses. In this regard, this work designed to uncover relations of abdominal visceral arteries with L1 in normal children using their abdominopelvic computed tomography images.

The aim of this study was to examine the capacity to differentiate between the wrist with DQT and the healthy wrist, as well as the potential for predicting the disease's severity using B-mode ultrasonography, SWE, and SMI.
Methods: A total of 19 cases with unilateral clinical DQT were included in the prospective study.
Aim: To compare the posterior cranial fossa (PCF) dimensions together with the measurements related to basilar invagination and platybasia of craniovertebral junction anomalies (CVJA) in CVJA (+) and CVJA (-) Chiari malformation Type 1 (CM1) patient groups with each other and with healthy control subjects.
Material And Methods: The study group was formed of 43 CM1 and 9 tonsillar ectopia (TE) patients.
Results: A decrease was determined in the PCF vertical length (clivus and supraocciput line) and PCF volume and an increase in the transverse length (McRae and Twining line) in the CM1 cases compared to the healthy control group.
Purpose: Hyaluronic acid (HA) injection is a popular nonsurgical, rejuvenating procedure to treat glabellar frown lines, which has devastating complications such as blindness and skin necrosis due to the arterial occlusion of supratrochlear artery (STA). Therefore, when injecting into the frown lines, knowledge of the STA's depth and plane is necessary to prevent possible adverse events. The aim of this study was to identify the depths of STA in the area of the frown lines in order to maximize safety during filler injections.

Therefore we aimed to evaluate the presence of Pa and Ps bars in children on routine cranial computed tomography images.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the cranial computed tomography images of 500 children under the age of 18.
Purpose: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common cause of hair loss in males. Physical examination and history are the most important examinations in diagnosis of the disease. As yet, there is no diagnostic method to be able to determine which individuals will develop AGA.

Materials And Methods: This study retrospectively focused on computed tomography images of 360 hips of 180 (90 boys and 90 girls) pediatric subjects (mean age: 9.50 ± 5.
Background: As deep nasolabial folds (NLF) are associated with facial aging, there is an increasing demand for esthetic correction with filler injections. Understanding the anatomy of the angular artery (AA) and facial artery (FA) around the NLF region is essential for ensuring the safety of dermal filler injections into the NLF. The purpose of this study was to provide detailed vascular anatomical information on the course and depth of AA and FA around NLF using Doppler ultrasound on live cases.

Methods: Computed tomography images of 200 children were included in this retrospective work to analyze the shape, location and diameters of the CAOC.
Results: The CAOC area, width and height were observed as 17.

Purpose: To investigate the characteristics of the prechiasmatic sulcus in children aged between 1-20 years.
Methods: Patient files of 200 children admitted to the university hospital on 2019 were analyzed, retrospectively. The computed tomography images of patients were used to obtain anatomical knowledge containing prechiasmatic sulcus types and dimensions.
Objectives: This retrospective computed tomography (CT) study was aimed to assess the growth dynamic of the external aperture of the carotid canal (EACC) in children aged between 1 and 20 years.
Methods: Two hundred patients (sex 100 females/100 males, average age 10.50 ± 5.
