[Clinical Application of "Three-Low" Technique Combined with Artificial Intelligence Iterative Reconstruction Algorithm in Aortic CT Angiography].

Objective: To explore the application value of the "three-low" technique (low radiation dose, low contrast agent dosage and low contrast agent flow rate) combined with artificial intelligence iterative reconstruction (AIIR) in aortic CT angiography (CTA).

Methods: A total of 33 patients who underwent aortic CTA were prospectively enrolled. Based on the time of their follow-up examinations, the imaging data were divided into Group A and Group B, with Group A being the control group (100 kV, 0.

Treatment of intractable parotid sialocele occurred after open reduction-fixation of mandibular subcondylar fracture.

A sialocele is a subcutaneous cavity containing saliva, most often caused by facial trauma or iatrogenic complications. In subcondylar fractures, most surgeons are conscious of facial nerve injury; however, they usually pay little attention to the parotid duct injury. We report the case of a 41-year-old man with a sialocele, approximately 5×3 cm in size, which developed 1 week after subcondylar fracture reduction.
