Donor bile duct evaluation with magnetic resonance cholangiography in living-donor liver transplantation: a novel anatomical classification for predicting surgical techniques.

Purpose: To propose a novel, inclusive classification that facilitates the selection of the appropriate donor and surgical technique in living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT).

Methods: The magnetic resonance cholangiography examinations of 201 healthy liver donors were retrospectively evaluated. The study group was classified according to the proposed classification.

A Model for Medical Students' Behavioral Intention to Use Mobile Learning.

The use of mobile devices that have high technical capabilities has increased in the last years. These devices are appropriate instructional tools reflecting the trends in modern education by providing instant access to information that is used with mobile learning purposes. As is in many areas of education, m-learning has been becoming widespread in medical education.

Morphometric Evaluation of Craniocervical Junction by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Method.

Purpose: Morphometric evaluation of the craniocervical region using magnetic resonance imaging method in humans and determination of the reference values that could be used in various clinics were the aims of this study.

Materials And Methods: In our study, 306 (95 males and 211 females) individuals who met the necessary criteria for anatomical structure were included and taken measurements afterward. Sagittal T1- and T2-weighted images were determined as a section thickness of 3 mm, an interval of 10 mm, a matrix of 352 × 224, a field of view of 170-240 mm, and a number of excitations of 4.

Learning anatomy via mobile augmented reality: Effects on achievement and cognitive load.

Augmented reality (AR), a new generation of technology, has attracted the attention of educators in recent years. In this study, a MagicBook was developed for a neuroanatomy topic by using mobile augmented reality (mAR) technology. This technology integrates virtual learning objects into the real world and allow users to interact with the environment using mobile devices.

The reproduction accuracy for stereolithographic model of the thyroid gland derived from the visible human dataset.

Objective: To investigate reproduction accuracy of the rapid prototyping technique by comparing 3-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) (virtual) model with stereolithographic (solid) replica of the thyroid gland.

Methods: The Visible Human Dataset was used as the input imaging data. The Surfdriver software package was applied on these images to reconstruct the thyroid gland as 3-dimensional Data Exchange File (DXF) models.

Quantitative analysis of myelinated axons of commissural fibers in the cat brain.

Objective: There are limited data related to the number of commissural axons found in various species. Although the corpus callosum has been investigated in cat, there are no data on the number of its myelinated axons. Additionally, the number of myelinated axons of anterior, posterior and habenular commissures are not documented for the cat.
