The authors have presented their experience of computer roentgen tomography application in 127 patients with complicated and noncomplicated spine damages, attained during 1987-89 in the clinic of the Byelorussian research institute of traumatology and orthopaedics. Computer tomography examinations allowed to determine spine fractures in 12 patients for the first time, reveal additional damages of the spine frontal sections in 35 patients and of the rear support complex in 30 patients. The causes of neurological disorders have been defined more precisely in 74 observations. Computer tomography possibilities as to the spine and spinal cord damage diagnosis are represented in the offered observations with demonstration of pictures obtained with/without subarachnoid space contrasting, in different hardness modes, formed according to the assigned programs.

Objectives: To develop a platform including a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for automatic segmentation of the maxillary sinus (MS) and adjacent structures, and automatic algorithms for measuring 3-dimensional (3D) clinical parameters.
Materials And Methods: 175 CBCTs containing 242 MS were used as the training, validating and testing datasets at the ratio of 7:1:2. The datasets contained healthy MS and MS with mild (2-4 mm), moderate (4-10 mm) and severe (10- mm) mucosal thickening.

To study the clinical, imaging, and computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy pathology of patients with infectious sacroiliitis (ISI). We retrospectively analysed 135 patients diagnosed with ISI between 2008 and 2020, comprehensively evaluating clinical characteristics, laboratory test outcomes, pathological examination results, and magnetic resonance images (MRI). Among the 135 patients with ISI, 90 (66.

Purpose: To establish a prognostic model to estimate progression-free survival (PFS) probability in bladder cancer (BCa) patients undergoing partial cystectomy.
Material And Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent partial cystectomy between August 2012 and April 2021 were enrolled. The primary endpoint was PFS during the follow-up.
