The aim of this study was to systematically review the accuracy of intraoperative computer navigation, three-dimensional surgical guides and customized osteosynthesis plates for the transfer of the virtual surgical plan to the patient in orthognathic surgery. A systematic review of the currently available publications was performed in databases MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library, using a PICOS search strategy, and reported according to PRISMA. The initial search yielded 3050 articles. In total, 16 studies were included for final quantitative analyses. The results of individual studies demonstrated a comparable accuracy in the transfer of planned surgical displacement of the jaws. A large variability was found with regard to the method of accuracy assessment and reported outcomes. The findings of this review show that these modern techniques have the potential to replace interocclusal splints in routine clinical practice in the future. We recommend that authors presenting new data on the accuracy of a technique should choose the method of accuracy assessment meticulously, acquiring postoperative imaging as soon as possible after surgery. They should report as much as possible, summarizing values or, ideally, even the raw data of the accuracy assessment in order to allow comparison with other techniques in a meta-analysis.

Background: Long-leg alignment and joint line obliquity have traditionally been assessed using two-dimensional (2D) radiography, but the accuracy of this measurement has remained unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of 2D measurements of lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA) and medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) using upright three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT).
Methods: This study involved 66 knees from 38 patients (34 women, four men) with knee osteoarthritis (OA), categorized by Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade.

Background: Sarcoidosis, a granulomatous inflammatory disease, exhibits diverse clinical manifestations, often affecting multiple organs. Diagnostic challenges arise due to its similarities with tuberculosis, particularly in high-burden areas. Differentiating between the two relies on clinical judgment, laboratory tests, imaging, and invasive procedures.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, emerged as a global health crisis in 2019, resulting in widespread morbidity and mortality. A persistent challenge during the pandemic has been the accuracy of reported epidemic data, particularly in underdeveloped regions with limited access to COVID-19 test kits and healthcare infrastructure. In the post-COVID era, this issue remains crucial.

Background: The application of natural language processing in medicine has increased significantly, including tasks such as information extraction and classification. Natural language processing plays a crucial role in structuring free-form radiology reports, facilitating the interpretation of textual content, and enhancing data utility through clustering techniques. Clustering allows for the identification of similar lesions and disease patterns across a broad dataset, making it useful for aggregating information and discovering new insights in medical imaging.
