Article Abstract
Background And Purpose: The intracerebral hemorrhage drainage through minimally invasive approach is emerging as an alternative for traditional craniotomy, due to its improved survival rate and reduced complication rate. In this study, we investigated the feasibility and safety of a flat detector CT-based puncture planning and navigation system for minimally invasive hematoma drainage on patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.
Materials And Methods: The minimally invasive hematoma drainage was performed on 21 hypertensive patients with intracerebral hemorrhage in the angiographic suite with the guidance of a flat detector CT-based puncture planning and navigation system. This system is integrated in the angiographic machine, and was used for 1) planning the needle path based on a preprocedural flat detector CT scan, 2) advancing the catheter with real-time fluoroscopic guidance, and 3) confirming the procedure outcome based on an immediate postprocedural flat detector CT. The surgery efficiency, accuracy, and the treatment outcome were measured and compared with the published data.
Results: All procedures were successfully completed with the catheter placed 4 ± 1 mm from the planned position. The average surgery time was 40 ± 7 minutes. The volume of the hematoma was reduced to 28 ± 4% of the original volume. The Glasgow Coma Scale score was significantly improved from 10 ± 1 at the admission to 14 ± 1 at the discharge. The Extended Glasgow Coma Scale score also improved from 5 ± 1 at the discharge to 6 ± 1 at the 6-month follow-up. No major complication, rebleeding, and mortality were observed in this study.
Conclusions: This flat detector CT-based needle guidance system provided a feasible, convenient, and safe way to perform the puncture and drainage of brain hematoma in the angiographic suite.

Institute of Medical Physics and Radiation Protection, University of Applied Sciences, Giessen, Germany.
Purpose: The spot size of scanned particle beams is of crucial importance for the correct dose delivery and, therefore, plays a significant role in the quality assurance (QA) of pencil beam scanning ion beam therapy.
Materials And Methods: This study compares 5 detector types-radiochromic film, ionization chamber (IC) array, flat panel detector, multiwire chamber, and IC-for measuring the spot size of proton and carbon ion beams.
Results: Variations of up to 30% were found between detectors, underscoring the impact of detector choice on QA outcomes.
Enhanced Terahertz Sensing via On-Chip Integration of Diffractive Optics with InGaAs Bow-Tie Detectors.

The practical implementation of terahertz (THz) imaging and spectroscopic systems in real operational conditions requires them to be of a compact size, to have enhanced functionality, and to be user-friendly. This work demonstrates the single-sided integration of Fresnel-zone-plate-based optical elements with InGaAs bow-tie diodes directly on a semiconductor chip. Numerical simulations were conducted to optimize the Fresnel zone plate's focal length and the InP substrate's thickness to achieve constructive interference at 600 GHz, room-temperature operation and achieve a sensitivity more than an order of magnitude higher-up to 24.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the imaging findings of the chest flat panel detector computed tomography (FDCT) among coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) positive patients during urgent/emergent interventional neuroradiologic procedures.
Materials And Methods: Chest FDCT examinations were performed using a C-arm mounted FDCT within the interventional radiology (IR) suite if the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results were pending in patients with clinical findings suggestive of COVID-19. In those who already had positive RT-PCR results, FDCT was performed for acute evaluation only if an acute unexpected cardiopulmonary event occurred during the procedure.

Objectives: Photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) is expected to substantially improve and expand CT-imaging applicability due to its intrinsic spectral capabilities, increased spatial resolution, reduced electronic noise, and improved image contrast. The current study aim is to evaluate PCD-CT efficacy in characterizing bullets based on their dimensions, shape, and material composition.
Materials And Methods: This is an observational phantom study examining 11 unfired, intact bullets of various common calibers, placed in ballistic gelatin.

The purpose of this study was to establish typical dose values at orthopaedic operating rooms of the Larnaca General Hospital (LGH). Kerma area product (KAP), fluoroscopy time (FT) and cumulative air-kerma (K) measurements were collected for 821 patients who underwent common and reproducible trauma surgery over a five-year period, with three mobile C-arm systems; two equipped with an image-intensifier and one with a flat-panel detector. Dose indices were automatically extracted from radiation dose structured reports or DICOM meta-data files archived in the PACS, using custom-made software.
