A region-of-interest (ROI) fluoroscopy device that provides an automatically generated ROI filter with an arbitrary shape, as well as digitally compensated images, was built and evaluated. ROI filters were generated by using a deformable attenuation material. Images were compensated by using a compensation ratio and a running average interpolation method. Image compensation parameters were predicted on the basis of the x-ray tube potential used. The image quality with and without an ROI filter was evaluated. This ROI fluoroscopic technique was shown to substantially reduce patient and operator radiation exposure without degrading image quality within the ROI.

Purpose: Computer-based medical training scenarios, derived from patient's records, often lack variability, modifiability, and availability. Furthermore, generating image datasets and creating scenarios is resource-intensive. Therefore, patient authoring tools for rapid dataset-independent creation of virtual patients (VPs) is a pressing need.

An 83-year-old man underwent dual-chamber pacemaker placement for complete atrioventricular block at another hospital. The active-fixation ventricular lead was positioned on the free wall of the anterior right ventricle. Ventricular pacing failure occurred on the day after pacemaker implantation, and fluoroscopy revealed right ventricular (RV) lead perforation.

We describe the initial uptake and experience of PFA using a pentaspline catheter across selected National Health Service England (NHSE) centres.
Methods: Data collected by NHSE Specialised Services Development Programme regarding AF ablation procedures using a single-shot, pentaspline, multielectrode PFA catheter (FARAWAVE, Boston Scientific) between June 2022 and August 2024 were aggregated and analysed to examine procedural metrics, acute efficacy and safety outcomes over 3-month follow-up.

It is unclear whether small plates are needed for augment fixation to provide a more stable mechanical environment in segmental fractures of the tibia treated with intramedullary nail. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of intramedullary nailing combined with locking plates in the treatment of segmental fractures of the tibia. This study included 41 patients with segmental tibia fractures between January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2023.

Background: Calcaneal slide osteotomies represent a well-established component in the surgical treatment of joint-preserving hind foot corrections. The percutaneous technique aims to minimize the surgical morbidity and maximize surgical efficiency. There is a consensus that percutaneous calcaneal sliding osteotomy (PCSO), using a low-speed and hightorque burr, is generally performed in four steps corresponding to the four quadrants of the cross-section of the calcaneal tuber.
