The purpose was to compare glenohumeral (GH) migration, during dynamic shoulder elevation and statically held positions using digital fluoroscopic videos (DFV). Thirty male volunteers (25+/-4 years) without right shoulder pathology were analyzed using DFV (30Hz) during arm elevation in the scapular plane. DFV were obtained at the arm at side position, 45 degrees , 90 degrees , and 135 degrees for static and dynamic conditions. GH migration was measured as the distance from the center of the humeral head migrated superiorly or inferiorly relative to the center of the glenoid fossa. Inter-rater reliability was considered good; ICC (2,3) ranged from 0.83 to 0.92. A main effect was revealed for contraction type (p=0.031), in which post-hoc t-tests revealed that humeral head was significantly more superior on the glenoid fossa during dynamic contraction. A main effect was also revealed for arm angle (p<0.001), in which post-hoc t-tests revealed significantly more superior humeral head positioning at 45 degrees , 90 degrees , and 135 degrees when compared to arm at side (p<0.001), as well as at 90 degrees compared to 45 degrees (p=0.024). There was no interaction effect between angle and contraction type (p=0.400). Research utilizing static imaging may underestimate the amount of superior GH migration that occurs dynamically.

Many tasks performed in image-guided procedures can be cast as pose estimation problems, where specific projections are chosen to reach a target in 3D space. In this study, we construct a framework for fluoroscopic pose estimation and compare alternative loss functions and volumetric scene representations. We first develop a differentiable projection (DiffProj) algorithm for the efficient computation of Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRRs) from either Cone-Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) or neural scene representations.

Despite the challenges associated with periprocedural imaging, transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions have shown important impact on outcomes. A comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the right heart and surrounding structures is crucial. One way to optimize these interventions is by identifying the optimal fluoroscopic viewing angles along the S-curve of the tricuspid valve.

Background: The neurolytic celiac plexus block (NCPB) can be introduced through the posterior para-aortic, anterior para-aortic, posterior transaortic, or endoscopic anterior para-aortic puncture approach, as well as the posterior approach via the intervertebral disc. To reduce the complications of puncture, this block's original manual blind puncture technique can be improved upon by using a C-arm fluoroscope, computed tomography (CT), or an ultrasound, the last of which may be endoscopic.

Objective: To observe the distribution of absolute alcohol and its analgesic effect on cancer-induced upper abdominal visceral pain during percutaneous NCPB through the anterior and posterior diaphragmatic crura under CT guidance.

Article Synopsis
  • Developing safe and effective medical interventions with untethered milli- and microrobots requires real-time tracking and localization since traditional imaging systems struggle with the non-transparency of human tissues.
  • This study introduces a virtual reality environment that features a digital twin of the operational workspace and a robot avatar, allowing for real-time synchronization and position tracking of the robot with minimal delay.
  • The approach demonstrates improved safety through enhanced guidance and the potential to integrate additional real-time data, improving robot control by using information like instantaneous velocity and physiological data from the patient.

US Volume Flow Assessment to Optimize Angioplasty of Dysfunctional Dialysis Access: The VOLA-II Multicenter Study.

Radiology

November 2024

From the 2nd Department of Radiology, Interventional Radiology Unit, Attikon University General Hospital, 1st Rimini St, GR 12461 Chaidari, Athens, Greece (S.S., P.F., K.P., S.G., E.B., D.K.); Department of Nephrology and Hemodialysis Unit (I.E.G.) and Department of Interventional Radiology (E.B.), Mediterraneo Hospital, Glyfada, Greece; and Department of Interventional Radiology, School of Medicine, Patras University Hospital, Rion, Greece (K.K., P.K.).

Background Digital subtraction angiography and thrill palpation demonstrate limitations when used to assess the outcomes of angioplasty in autologous arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). Purpose To investigate a new functional quantifiable index of successful angioplasty for failing AVFs using intraprocedural percutaneous US volume flow (VF) measurements. Materials and Methods This prospective, multicenter, single-arm, cohort clinical trial included consecutive patients with indications for fluoroscopically guided balloon angioplasty due to AVF dysfunction between June 2020 and May 2022.
