Extraction of 3D trajectories of mandibular condyles from 2D real-time MRI.

Objective: Computing the trajectories of mandibular condyles directly from MRI could provide a comprehensive examination, providing both anatomical and kinematic details. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of extracting 3D condylar trajectories from 2D real-time MRI.

Materials And Methods: Twenty healthy subjects underwent real-time MRI while performing jaw opening and closing movements.

Endovascular surgery in the French role 3 medical treatment facility: Is there a need? A 10-year retrospective analysis.

Objective: Vascular surgery for war-related traumatic injuries represents 3 to 17.6 % of all emergency surgical procedures, and around 5 % in French Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs). Most of these lesions are treated by open surgery, but the role of endovascular surgery in French MTFs has not been assessed yet.

Gene therapy for hearing loss: Current status and future prospects of non-viral vector delivery systems.

Current therapeutic options for hearing loss rely on hearing aids, ossiculoplasty or cochlear implants. These devices have limitations, particularly in noisy acoustic environments. Therefore, interest in exploring aetiological treatments to improve not only auditory perception but also the quality of life of those affected is increasing.

Diagnostic Performance of F-FDG PET/CT According to Delay After Treatment to Detect Subclinical Recurrence of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains a malignancy with high rates of locoregional recurrence and poor prognosis for recurrent cases. Early detection of subclinical lesions is challenging but critical for effective patient management. Imaging surveillance after treatment, particularly F-FDG PET/CT, has shown promise in the diagnosis of HNSCC recurrence.

Automatic segmentation of vocal tract articulators in real-time magnetic resonance imaging.

Background And Objectives: The characterization of the vocal tract geometry during speech interests various research topics, including speech production modeling, motor control analysis, and speech therapy design. Real-time MRI is a reliable and non-invasive tool for this purpose. In most cases, it is necessary to know the contours of the individual articulators from the glottis to the lips.
