From 1979 to 12/1990 795 organ transplants have been performed at our hospital (kidney n:737, liver n:23, heart n:35). Our data reveal vascular problems in 10 percent of the transplanted patients - not concerning the vascular anastomosis. The therapeutic approach should be determined interdisciplinary. Due to the low complication rate of operative or interventionel procedures in this patients, even relative indications--to improve "quality of live"--can be accepted.

Automatic segmentation of angiographic structures can aid in assessing vascular disease. While recent deep learning models promise automation, they lack validation on interventional angiographic data. This study investigates the feasibility of angiographic segmentation using in-context learning with the UniverSeg model, which is a cross-learning segmentation model that lacks inherent angiographic training.

Objectives: In advanced stages of osteoradionecrosis, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, and osteomyelitis, a resection of sections of the mandible may be unavoidable. The determination of adequate bony resection margins is a fundamental problem because bony resection margins cannot be secured intraoperatively. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT-CT) is more accurate than conventional imaging techniques in detecting inflammatory jaw pathologies.

Frequently, the therapeutic course requires numerous injections, posing a burden on patients. Non-adherence to treatment may result in reduced visual outcomes, therefore understanding and addressing the underlying causes is imperative.
