Objective: The purpose of this article is to educate radiologists and technologists about the clinically relevant portion of the new digital radiography standards.
Conclusion: Both the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC standard 62494-1) and the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM Task Group 116) have developed similar standards for monitoring exposure in digital radiography to eliminate proprietary and confusing terminology. Radiologists and technologists will need to learn three new terms--exposure index, target exposure index, and deviation index--to understand the new standards.

Updates on Methods for Body Composition Analysis: Implications for Clinical Practice.
Curr Obes Rep
January 2025
Metabolism and Body Composition, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, LA, 70808, USA.
Background: Recent technological advances have introduced novel methods for measuring body composition, each with unique benefits and limitations. The choice of method often depends on the trade-offs between accuracy, cost, participant burden, and the ability to measure specific body composition compartments.
Objective: To review the considerations of cost, accuracy, portability, and participant burden in reference and emerging body composition assessment methods, and to evaluate their clinical applicability.
Smith-Magenis syndrome with Dandy-Walker malformation in a 2-year-old girl: A case report.
J Int Med Res
January 2025
Department of Cardiac Surgery, The Second Hospital & Clinical Medical School, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, Gansu, China.
Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) and Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) are uncommon genetic conditions with nonspecific clinical features, which makes reaching a definitive diagnosis challenging. We describe here, a 2-year-old girl who was diagnosed with SMS at the age of 12 months due to delayed growth and development. The child presented to hospital with acute heart failure and respiratory failure.

Directorate for Railways, Nemanjina 6, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia.
The manuscript conducts a comparative analysis to assess the impact of noise on medical images using a proposed threshold value estimation approach. It applies an innovative method for edge detection on images of varying complexity, considering different noise types and concentrations of noise. Five edges are evaluated on images with low, medium, and high detail levels.

Megavoltage computed tomography (MVCT) plays a crucial role in patient positioning and dose reconstruction during tomotherapy. However, due to the limited scan field of view (sFOV), the entire cross-section of certain patients may not be fully covered, resulting in projection data truncation. Truncation artifacts in MVCT can compromise registration accuracy with the planned kilovoltage computed tomography (KVCT) and hinder subsequent MVCT-based adaptive planning.

Dynamic digital radiography (DDR) is a recent imaging technique that allows for real-time visualization of thoracic and pulmonary movement in synchronization with the breathing cycle, providing useful clinical information. A 46-year-old male, a former smoker, was evaluated for unexplained dyspnea and reduced exercise tolerance. His medical history included a SARS-CoV-2 infection in 2021.
