December 2019
Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performance and raters´confidence of radiography, radiography equivalent dose multi-detector computed tomography (RED-MDCT) and radiography equivalent dose cone beam computed tomography (RED-CBCT) for finger fractures.
Methods: Fractures were inflicted artificially and randomly to 10 cadaveric hands of body donors. Radiography as well as RED-MDCT and RED-CBCT imaging were performed at dose settings equivalent to radiography.
Introduction: The aim of this study is to report our early clinical experience using C-arm cone beam computed tomography with fluoroscopic overlay for image guidance during percutaneous needle procedures of the spine and pelvis.
Methods: Twelve consecutive patients (four female and eight male patients; mean age, 64 years; range, 47-74 years; SD ± 7.6 years) who underwent percutaneous biopsy of the spine and pelvis for suspected metastasis (n = 12), spondylodiscitis (n = 6), abscess (n = 5) or bone tumour (n = 1) were prospectively included between March 2009 and November 2010.
Objective: To compare the image quality of mono- versus bisegment reconstruction algorithms for dual-source computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA).
Materials And Methods: Eighty consecutive patients (27 women; average age, 60 +/- 12 years) were randomly assigned to 2 different CTCA scanning protocols: 40 patients (group A) underwent dual-source CTCA with a heart rate (HR)-dependent pitch adaptation with datasets reconstructed using the monosegment algorithm; 40 patients (group B) underwent CTCA at a fixed pitch of 0.2 and datasets were reconstructed using both mono- and bisegment algorithms.
