The deltotrapezial fascia stabilizes the AC-joint and its reconstruction restores the horizontal stability in AC-joint separations: a biomechanical comparison.

Background: Various techniques are available for the reconstruction of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations, with the main focus being on restoration of the AC capsule or coracoclavicular ligaments. Recent research has underlined the significance of the deltotrapezial fascia (DTF) and related muscles as dynamic stabilizers of the ACJ. The Hypothesis was that a reconstruction of the DTF increases the stability of the ACJ in the horizontal plane more than a complete transection of the fascia, while not restoring the stability of the native state.

DosePatch: physics-inspired cropping layout for patch-based Monte Carlo simulations to provide fast and accurate internal dosimetry.

Background: Dosimetry-based personalized therapy was shown to have clinical benefits e.g. in liver selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT).

[Scientific methods for in-vitro investigations in the field of joint kinematics : Cluster experimental joint kinematics].

In vitro studies are an established method to determine joint kinematics for answering preclinical questions regarding the effects of new treatment options, surgical techniques or implant designs. The lack of standardized, interdisciplinary representation in the determination of joint kinematics poses a problem. In addition to representation forms such as the "neutral-zero method" or the description of movements within the three basic planes, there are other mathematical joint-specific representations of individual working groups.

Multitask Weakly Supervised Generative Network for MR-US Registration.

Registering pre-operative modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, to ultrasound images is crucial for guiding clinicians during surgeries and biopsies. Recently, deep-learning approaches have been proposed to increase the speed and accuracy of this registration problem. However, all of these approaches need expensive supervision from the ultrasound domain.

Shape completion in the dark: completing vertebrae morphology from 3D ultrasound.

Purpose: Ultrasound (US) imaging, while advantageous for its radiation-free nature, is challenging to interpret due to only partially visible organs and a lack of complete 3D information. While performing US-based diagnosis or investigation, medical professionals therefore create a mental map of the 3D anatomy. In this work, we aim to replicate this process and enhance the visual representation of anatomical structures.
