Purpose: To theoretically and experimentally study implant lead tip heating caused by radiofrequency (RF) power deposition in different wire configurations that contain loop(s).
Methods: Maximum temperature rise caused by RF heating was measured at 1.5T on 20 insulated, capped wires with various loop and straight segment configurations.
Article Synopsis
- Digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPA) is a rare and often misdiagnosed malignant tumor, commonly mistaken for benign conditions, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
- A 57-year-old man with recurrent finger infections was ultimately diagnosed with DPA after a surgical evaluation and biopsy revealed both infection and the tumor, necessitating surgical removal.
- Accurate diagnosis is vital due to the tumor's tendency for recurrence and metastasis, particularly to the lungs and lymph nodes, and current treatment primarily involves surgical excision with focus on achieving negative margins.
Objectives: We report our experience implementing an algorithm for the detection of large vessel occlusion (LVO) for suspected stroke in the emergency setting, including its performance, and offer an explanation as to why it was poorly received by radiologists.
Materials And Methods: An algorithm was deployed in the emergency room at a single tertiary care hospital for the detection of LVO on CT angiography (CTA) between September 1st-27th, 2021. A retrospective analysis of the algorithm's accuracy was performed.
Purpose: Increasing CT capacity to keep pace with rising ED demand is critical. The conventional process has inherent drawbacks. We evaluated an off-console automated AI enhanced workflow which moves all final series creation off-console.

This study examines surgical outcomes and presents a novel scoring system to define and guide the management of low-velocity ballistic mandibular fractures.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed from 2015 to 2022 to collect data on patients who suffered ballistic mandibular fractures.
