Article Synopsis
- Fracture healing issues are significant in trauma care, and an open wedge osteotomy of the distal radius offers a way to assess healing, particularly using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), which is preferred for analyzing hand and wrist bones.
- This study evaluated the healing of osteotomies in 36 patients using both CBCT and multidetector CT (MDCT), comparing two methods of volumetric measurement and checking the reliability of these techniques.
- Results showed that CBCT volumetry is a reliable and effective method for measuring osteotomy healing, with high consistency compared to MDCT and strong reliability in segmentation and observer assessments.
Background: It is unknown how shear wave dispersion (SWD) is displayed in pediatric liver transplant recipients and not fully elucidated how ultrasound shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) display within this cohort, which is important to determine to improve noninvasive surveillance of these patients. The study aimed to compare SWE and SWD values with histopathology in pediatric liver recipients.
Methods: Forty-eight pediatric liver recipients were examined with SWE in conjunction with an elective liver biopsy (clinically without complication).
Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to assess how effective multiple ultrasound techniques are at non-invasively identifying liver issues like fibrosis, inflammation, and fat accumulation in children.
- The research involved comparing ultrasound measurements (shear wave elastography, shear wave dispersion, and attenuation imaging) with liver biopsies from 32 pediatric patients and 15 controls.
- Results indicated that ultrasound could differentiate between fibrosis grades and inflammation levels, suggesting it may be a viable method for evaluating liver conditions, but further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
