Periapical bone edema volume in 3D MRI is positively correlated with bone architecture changes.

Insights Imaging

January 2025

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital of Zurich, University Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.

Objectives: To compare and correlate bone edema volume detected by 3D-short-tau-inversion-recovery (STIR) sequence to osseous decay detected by a T1-based sequence and conventional panoramic radiography (OPT).

Materials And Methods: Patients with clinical evidence of apical periodontitis were included retrospectively and received OPT as well as MRI of the viscerocranium including a 3D-STIR and a 3D-T1 gradient echo sequence. Bone edema was visualized using the 3D-STIR sequence and periapical hard tissue changes were evaluated using the 3D-T1 sequence.

Importance: Tobacco smoking is linked to poor surgical outcomes, leading many physicians to avoid synthetic implants like mesh in smokers due to concerns about impaired healing. While long-term outcomes for smokers have been studied, the effect of smoking on 30-day postoperative complications, especially related to surgical mesh, is less understood.

Objectives: This study aimed to quantify the association between tobacco smoking and risk of postoperative infection, readmission, and reoperation within 30 days of minimally invasive apical prolapse repair.

Objectives: Bimodal cochlear implant (CI) users vary in speech recognition outcomes. This variability may be influenced partly by the CI and contralateral hearing aid (HA) programming procedures, which can result in mismatches in latency and frequency. We assessed the performance of bimodal listeners when latency mismatches were corrected and analyzed how frequency mismatches influenced outcomes.
