Enhancing Cervical Foraminotomy Outcomes With Patient-Specific 3D Anatomical Models: A Comparative Study.
Cureus
December 2024
Diagnostic Radiology, University of Washington, Seattle, USA.
Introduction: Cervical foraminotomy is a procedure used to treat patients with radiculopathy. While the procedure can be performed using a minimally invasive technique, achieving complete visualization of relevant anatomy can be challenging. This study explores the use of patient-specific three-dimensional (3D) printed anatomical models, created from advanced medical imaging data, for preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance in cervical foraminotomy by comparing fluoroscopy time, operative time, estimated blood loss volume, and functional improvement.

Department of Urology, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, Shenyang, China.
Purpose: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in males worldwide, requiring improvements in diagnostic imaging to identify and treat it at an early stage. Bi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) is recognized as an essential diagnostic technique for PCa, providing shorter acquisition times and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, accurate diagnosis using bpMRI images is difficult due to the inconspicuous and diverse characteristics of malignant tumors and the intricate structure of the prostate gland.

Acta Clin Croat
December 2023
School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia.
The aim was to measure sphenoid sinus volume on the basis of computed tomography data post processing and to investigate the possible relationship with age, gender and mastoid pneumatization. Sphenoid sinus volume was measured using the semi-automatic post processing algorithm of MSCT DICOM datasets of 66 patients. There were 35 female and 31 male subjects.

PeerJ
January 2025
Section of Orthodontics and Craniofacial Biology, Department of Dentistry, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands.
Aim: To compare three-dimensional (3D) facial morphology of various unilateral cleft subphenotypes at 9-years of age to normative data using a general face template and automatic landmarking. The secondary objective is to compare facial morphology of 9-year-old children with unilateral fusion to differentiation defects.
Methods: 3D facial stereophotogrammetric images of 9-year-old unilateral cleft patients were imported into 3DMedX® for processing.
Magnetic resonance imaging of focal organizing pneumonia: differential diagnosis with peripheral lung carcinoma.
Acta Radiol
January 2025
PET-CT Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shannxi, PR China.
Background: Computed tomography (CT) is the most common way to evaluate focal organizing pneumonia (FOP); however, sometimes it is difficult to differentiate FOP and peripheral lung carcinoma (PLC).
Purpose: To clarify the MRI manifestation of FOP and the value of MR in the differential diagnosis of FOP and PLC in comparison to CT.
Material And Methods: Chest MR (3D T1WI, T2WI TSE, DWI) and CT images of 72 patients (50 men: mean age=64.
