Objectives: To introduce and test a new tomographic technique, namely transtomography, making it possible to expose tomographic images employing the narrow beam of an advanced panoramic machine.
Methods: The working principle of the new technique is described. It combines a translational movement with a pendular movement of the beam that creates motion unsharpness analogous to that of conventional tomography. In order to verify whether the new technique works and results in tomographic images, test radiographs were exposed on phantoms.
Results: The principle of transtomography works and give images with properties essentially equivalent to those of conventional tomography. With the transtomographic technique using a narrow beam, tomographic images may be exposed with an advanced panoramic machine.
Conclusion: Transtomography may be employed to expose tomographic images basically on the same indications as for conventional tomography.

Aberrant anatomical variation of the vertebral artery (VA) from an internal carotid artery (ICA) is considered a rare finding. The incidence of this phenomenon can lead to patients suffering from posterior circulation neurological deficit if the ICA becomes significantly diseased. VA atypical anatomical origin is considered one of the rare pathologies, not only precipitating neurovascular incidents but equally leading to severe difficulty in VA dissection and surgical exposure, especially in carotid artery procedures.

Introduction: Cardiac computerized tomographic angiography (CCTA) is perceived as a non-invasive tool for assessment of coronary vessel anatomy. Feature tracking echocardiography has recently emerged as a tool for assessment of regional and global left ventricular function. We aimed to explore the applicability of echocardiographic strain on CCTA cine clips and assess whether global and regional strain parameters are associated with the extent of coronary stenosis.

Objective: To investigate the structural damage in patients with aphasia in the acute phase of ischemic stroke using X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans of the brain.
Material And Methods: We examined 65 right-handed individuals in the acute stage of ischemic stroke in the left middle cerebral artery, including 39 men and 26 women aged 41 to 87 years. The patients were divided into two groups: those with aphasia (group 1, 48) and those without aphasia (group 2, 17).

Background And Aim: Computed tomographic (CT) images can elucidate the variations of cardiac orientation that this information among dog breeds has never been reported. This study aimed to explore the heart orientations of dogs with different thoracic types and study their effects on vertebral heart score (VHS) measurements using CT images.
Materials And Methods: Thoracic CT images of 115 mature dogs without thoracic abnormalities were retrospectively examined.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the anatomical configuration of the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary first molar and assess the prevalence of the mesiobuccal canal (MB2).
Materials And Methods: A total of 307 high-resolution cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of maxillary molars were analyzed. These images were classified based on the anatomical configuration and prevalence of the MB2 canal.
