A Method to Improve the Accuracy for the Comparison of Consecutively Determined Upper Limb Cross-Sectional Area Profiles of Test Subjects: Impact on (Segmental) Limb Volume and Local Limb Circumference.

Chronic edema management depends on measuring small volume changes over time. Therefore, a highly sensitive, accurate, and reliable technique is needed to objectively judge sequential measurements. The prototype of the Peracutus Aqua Meth (PAM), a new volumetric measuring device, was used in an experimental study.

The impact of the #MeToo movement on language at court A text-based causal inference approach.

This study assesses the effect of the #MeToo movement on the language used in judicial opinions on sexual violence related cases from 51 U.S. state and federal appellate courts.

Extended MRI-based PET motion correction for cardiac PET/MRI.

Purpose: A 2D image navigator (iNAV) based 3D whole-heart sequence has been used to perform MRI and PET non-rigid respiratory motion correction for hybrid PET/MRI. However, only the PET data acquired during the acquisition of the 3D whole-heart MRI is corrected for respiratory motion. This study introduces and evaluates an MRI-based respiratory motion correction method of the complete PET data.

New Device to Measure Cross-Sectional Areas and Segmental Volumes of Objects and Limbs.

Purpose: High accuracy volume measurements have important implications in different medical and non-medical situations. All methods used to date have challenges to achieve a usable clinical accuracy. Moreover, current methods have limitations to measure segmental volumes.

Frequency and characterization of CTEPH and CTEPD according to the mPAP threshold > 20 mm Hg: Retrospective analysis from data of a prospective PE aftercare program.

Background: The influence of the new pulmonary hypertension (PH) definition on the incidence of chronic thromboembolic PH (CTEPH) is unclear. The incidence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease without PH (CTEPD) is unknown.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of CTEPH and CTEPD using the new mPAP cut-off >20 mmHg for PH in patients who have suffered an incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) and were recruited into an aftercare program.
