Purpose: Today's operating room is equipped with different devices supporting the surgeon. Due to the lack of common interfaces between devices, an integrated support of the surgical workflow is missing. In the field of implantation, a smooth exchange of preoperatively planned data between devices is of great interest. Additionally, the availability of standardized preoperative data would facilitate the documentation, especially with regard to Electronic Health Records.
Methods: To analyze whether DICOM Structured Reporting can be the basis for a standardized digital human- and machine-readable implantation plan, we derived all requirements for such a document. Therefore, we examined the conventional implantation plan and future applications of the digital plan.
Results: In this paper, we propose to use the mechanisms introduced by DICOM Structured Reporting as storage and communication infrastructure for implantation plans in the surgical domain. DICOM Structured Reporting complies with all requirements of our analysis. Additionally, we introduce a first draft of a standardized implantation plan structure.
Conclusions: A standardized digital implantation plan based on the DICOM Structured Report has the potential to overcome current integration problems in the OR and to facilitate new applications.

Background: Despite advancements in imaging technologies, including CT scans and MRI, these modalities may still fail to capture intricate details of congenital heart defects accurately. Virtual 3D models have revolutionized the field of pediatric interventional cardiology by providing clinicians with tangible representations of complex anatomical structures. We examined the feasibility and accuracy of utilizing an automated, Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven, cloud-based platform for virtual 3D visualization of complex congenital heart disease obtained from 3D rotational angiography DICOM images.

Background: Soft tissue defects on the palm side of the thumb can be effectively covered by using the radial midpalmar (RMP) flap, which is usually harvested as a pedicled flap. However, previous anatomical studies on this flap are limited. We analyzed multidetector-row computed tomography angiograms of the radial midpalm of hands to more precisely characterize the 3-dimensional anatomical structure of the perforators in living patients.

Purpose: Cochlear implants (CI) are the most successful bioprosthesis in medicine probably due to the tonotopic anatomy of the auditory pathway and of course the brain plasticity. Correct placement of the CI arrays, respecting the inner ear anatomy are therefore important. The ideal trajectory to insert a cochlear implant array is defined by an entrance through the round window membrane and continues as long as possible parallel to the basal turn of the cochlea.

Article Synopsis
- The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is the most commonly injured ligament in ankle sprains, with many patients recovering conservatively but a significant portion developing chronic instability requiring surgery.
- A study involving healthy volunteers and patients with sprained ankles used 3D MRI to create anatomical models of the ATFL and evaluated the feasibility and image quality of these models for better understanding of injuries and surgical planning.
- Results showed high image quality scores for the 3D models, indicating that 3D MRI can accurately represent ATFL anatomy, which could enhance preoperative strategy and improve diagnosis and treatment decisions.
