The purpose of this study was to investigate the dose distribution and lens doses associated with C-arm cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), using a head phantom, and to estimate the contribution ratio of C-arm CBCT to each patient's lens dose during interventional neuroradiology ('lens dose ratio') in 109 clinical cases. In the phantom study, the peak skin doses and respective right and left lens doses of C-arm CBCT were as follows: 63.0 ± 1.9 mGy, 19.7 ± 1.4 mGy and 21.9 ± 0.8 mGy in whole brain C-arm CBCT and 39.2 ± 1.4 mGy, 4.7 ± 0.9 mGy and 3.6 ± 0.3 mGy in high-resolution C-arm CBCT. In the clinical study, the lens dose ratios were 25.4 ± 8.7% in the right lens and 19.1 ± 9.8% in the left lens. This study shows that, on average, ~25% of patients' total lens dose was contributed by C-arm CBCT.

Head shape changes following spring-cranioplasty for craniosynostosis (CS) can be difficult to predict. While previous research has indicated a connection between surgical outcomes and calvarial bone microstructure ex-vivo, there exists a demand for identifying imaging biomarkers that can be translated into clinical settings and assist in predicting these outcomes. In this study, ten parietal (8 males, age 157 ± 26 days) and two occipital samples (males, age 1066 and 1162 days) were collected from CS patients who underwent spring cranioplasty procedures.

Objective: Dyna computed tomography (DynaCT) is an innovative clinical imaging tool used to obtain three-dimensional (3D) images of biliary structures via the Artis Zee DSA system (SIEMENS Company, Germany). DynaCT is a type of 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) reconstruction produced from a two-dimensional (2D) cholangiography system by rotating the C-arm without moving the patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the technical approach and application value of DynaCT to diagnosis hepatolithiasis and biliary stenosis.

Purpose: To compare the effect of two linacs designs on fetal dose sparing on a pregnant patient, including estimation of the fetal dose, and the effect of a lead apron.
Methods: A patient with a high-grade sarcoma located in the right knee/lower thigh was prescribed 51 Gy (1.7 Gy/Fx) with a simultaneous-integrated-boost (SIB) of 60 Gy to a smaller volume, starting in the 26th gestational week.
