Background: Digital plain radiography (DR) examinations of the pelvis are frequently performed in infants with hip dysplasia.
Objective: The purpose was to reduce the radiation dose and to determine objective quality control criteria to ensure accurate assessment. This seems feasible because of higher quantum efficiency of DR and easy assessable anatomical structures for most orthopaedic measurements.
Objective: Digital plain radiographs of the pelvis are frequently performed in follow-up examinations of patients who received total hip arthroplasty (THA) or osteosynthesis (OS). Thus, the purpose was to reduce the radiation dose and to determine objective quality control criteria to ensure accurate assessment.
Materials And Methods: Institutional review board approval was obtained.
Objective: Digital plain radiographs of the full leg are frequently performed examinations of children and young adults. Thus, the objective of this work was to reduce the radiation exposure dependent on specific indications, and to determine objective quality-control criteria to ensure accurate assessment.
Materials And Methods: Institutional review board approval and informed consent of all participants were obtained.
Purpose: To determine the accuracy and reliability of three-dimensional (3D) T1- and proton density (PD)-weighted turbo spin-echo (TSE) sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip-angle evolution (SPACE) compared with conventional 2D sequences in assessment of the shoulder-joint.
Materials And Methods: Ninety-three subjects were examined on a 3-T MRI system with both conventional 2D-TSE sequences in T1-, T2- and PD-weighting and 3D SPACE sequences in T1- and PD-weighting. All examinations were assessed independently by two reviewers for common pathologies of the shoulder-joint.
