AI Article Synopsis
- - A study comparing coronary calcium scores between standard computed tomography (CT) and photon-counting CT found no significant differences in results.
- - Photon-counting CT uses a considerably lower radiation dose compared to standard CT.
- - This suggests that photon-counting CT could be a safer alternative without compromising diagnostic accuracy.
Article Abstract
Prospective head-to-head comparison of coronary calcium scores between standard computed tomography (CT) and photon-counting CT show no significant differences, while photon-counting CT administers substantially lower radiation dose.

Cervical spine considerations in Goldenhar syndrome: a clinical perspective.
Childs Nerv Syst
December 2024
NJ Craniofacial Center, Morristown, NJ, 07960, USA.
Background: Goldenhar syndrome is a clinically heterogeneous disorder defined by a rare combination of congenital anomalies-an eye abnormality, in addition to two of the following three: ear anomalies, mandibular malformations, and vertebral defects. Notably, children with Goldenhar syndrome present with a high incidence of cervical spine malformations.
Clinical Case: In this report, we present an unusual case of a 15-year-old child with Goldenhar syndrome, who additionally presents with some clinical features of VACTERL syndrome.
"Complete" duplication of the posterior cerebral artery: a rare variant detected on computed tomography angiography.

Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 75 Mikras Asias Str., Goudi, 11527, Athens, Greece.
The cerebral arterial circle morphologic variability has been extensively studied. The posterior cerebral artery (PCA) variants are rarely identified, except from the first segment (P1) hypoplasia or absence. Due to its unique morphology, the computed tomography angiography (CTA) of a 34-year-old female patient was further investigated.

J Orofac Orthop
December 2024
Department of Orthodontics, Saarland University, 66424, Homburg/Saar, Germany.
Background And Aim: Treatment effects of a combined rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and Delaire facemask (DFM) therapy have so far only been scientifically investigated through cephalometric analyses. The combination of cephalometric, dental cast and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan analysis was not yet used for investigating morphologic changes of the tooth-bearing palate. The aim of the present study was to determine whether patient age at treatment begin has an influence upon palatal length changes after RME/DFM therapy, and to what extent transverse palatal sutures contribute to these.

Childs Nerv Syst
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Osaka Women's and Children's Hospital, Izumi, Osaka, 594-1101, Japan.
Purpose: This study presents a MATrix LABoratory (MATLAB)-based methodology for calculating intracranial volumes from head computed tomography (CT) data and compares it with established methods.
Methods: Regions of interest (ROI) were manually segmented on CT images using a stylus pen, facilitated by mirroring a computer desktop onto a tablet. The volumetric process involved three main steps: (1) calculating the volume of a single voxel, (2) counting the total number of voxels within the segmented ROI, and (3) multiplying this voxel count by the single-voxel volume.
A novel preoperative evaluation technique for partial nephrectomy: three-dimensional extended renal tumor plane.
World J Urol
December 2024
Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital, Institute of Urology, Peking University, National Urological Cancer Center, Beijing, 100034, China.
Objective: To develop a three-dimensional (3D) image based extended tumor plane technique for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).
Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients with a local renal tumor for RAPN between March 2019 and Mar 2022. 3D virtual model was reconstructed based on the computed tomography urography.
