Objective: The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a low-cost 3D-printed simulator to improve the ability of neurosurgical residents to handle and coordinate endoscopes in performing technically demanding procedures such as neuroendoscopic removal of ventricular tumors or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV).
Methods: The simulator was developed, printed in-house, and evaluated in a trial involving neurosurgery residents who performed ETV and intraventricular tumor resection tasks using it. Participants completed a questionnaire that assessed various aspects of the simulator's effectiveness, including anatomical visualization, procedural understanding, competency enhancement, and subjective impressions.

Background: To investigate the artifact sizes of four common breast clip-markers on a standard breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol in an in vitro phantom model.
Methods: Using 1.5-T and 3-T whole-body scanners with an 18-channel breast coil, artifact dimensions of four breast biopsy markers in an agarose-gel phantom were measured by two readers on images obtained with the following sequences: T2-weighted fast spin-echo short inversion time fat-suppressed inversion-recovery with magnitude reconstruction (T2-TIRM); T1-weighted spoiled gradient-echo with fat suppression (T1_FL3D), routinely used for dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging; diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), including a readout segmented echo-planar imaging (RESOLVE-DWI) and echo-planar imaging sequence (EPI-DWI).

Drug advertising primarily serves to publicize the product and increase sales. The legal requirements in the Therapeutic Products Advertising Act (Heilmittelwerbegesetz, HWG) in Germany are intended to protect consumers. However, a lack of information about the potential negative aspects of drugs represents a risk for viewers.

Breast ultrasound utilizes various scanning techniques to acquire optimal images for diagnostic evaluation. During interventional procedures, such as ultrasound-guided biopsies or preoperative localizations, knowledgeable and purposeful scanning adjustments are critical for successfully identifying the targeted mass or biopsy marker or clip. While most ultrasound scanning parameters are similar across different vendors, detailed descriptions specifically addressing the scanning parameters-often referred to as "knobology"- for breast ultrasound is at best limited in the literature.
