Understanding detailed hemodynamics is critical in the treatment of aneurysms and other vascular diseases; however, traditional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) does not provide detailed quantitative flow information. Instead, 1000 fps High-Speed Angiography (HSA) can be used for high-temporal visualization and evaluation of detailed blood flow patterns and velocity distributions. In the treatment of aneurysms, flow diverter expansion and positioning play a critical role in affecting the hemodynamics and optimal patient outcomes.

Background: Preoxygenation prior to induction of general anesthesia is intended to increase the oxygen reserve in the lungs. This technique delays the onset of hypoxemia during the placement of the tracheal tube.
Objective: To observe the benefits of oxygen through nasal cannula when used as an adjunct during preoxygenation.

Objectives: Patients are increasingly being given direct access to their medical records. However, radiology reports are written for clinicians and typically contain medical jargon, which can be confusing. One solution is for radiologists to provide a "colloquial" version that is accessible to the layperson.

Processes like manufacturing and intraoral usage can result in the degradation of certain properties, which can affect the overall efficacy of treatment. Objective The objective of the study is to compare the surface roughness and flexural modulus of two aligner materials following the processes of thermoforming and aging.
