Automatic analysis of the scapholunate distance using 4DCT imaging; normal values in the healthy wrist
Early diagnosis of scapholunate ligament (SLL) injuries is crucial to prevent progression to debilitating osteoarthritis. Four-Dimensional Computed Tomography (4DCT) is a promising dynamic imaging modality for assessing such injuries. Capitalizing on the known correlation between SLL injuries and an increased scapholunate distance (SLD), this study aims to develop a fully automatic approach to evaluate the SLD continuously during wrist motion and to apply it to a dataset of healthy wrists to establish reference values.

Algorithm for detection and screening of familial hypercholesterolemia in Lithuanian population
CONCLUSIONS: Most patients in this study were classified as probable or possible FH without difference of age and sex. The median age of FH diagnosis was 47 years with significantly older females than males, which refers to the strong interface of this study with the LitHir programme. CAD and premature CAD were more common among patients with probable and definite FH, as well as those with an FH-causing mutation. The algorithm described in this study is the first attempt in Lithuania to implement a specific tool which allows to maximise FH detection rates, establish an accurate diagnosis of FH, excluding secondary causes o...

3D Cinematic rendering for evaluating femoral pseudoaneurysms in injection drug users
AbstractThe inguinal region, specifically the femoral vasculature, is a commonly used site of injection for intravenous drug users (IVDU). Repeated puncture of the vessel wall results in breakdown and subsequent arterial pseudoaneurysm- dilatations or outpouching of blood vessels, which, if left untreated, can result in fatal complications such as rupture with hemorrhage, sepsis, or even limb loss. The current modalities for arterial pseudoaneurysms include Doppler ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) angiography, both of which play important roles in management and surgical planning. However, 3D cinematic rendering (CR...

The Outpatient Endovascular & Interventional Society (OEIS) The voice of advocacy for the OBL: Origins, Principles and Historical Perspective
The physician office offering imaging guided endovascular and minimally invasive interventional procedures is often referred to as an OBL (office based lab), OIS (office interventional suite) or OES (office endovascular suite). Initially, OBL's depended upon the national societies of interventional radiology (SIR), vascular surgery (SVS) and interventional cardiology (SCAI) to advocate for them. However, the OBL space needed a voice dedicated to advocating for the appropriate reimbursement of procedures in the OBL to allow the OBL to survive as a viable site of service and become integral to healthcare delivery in the US h...

Neuroendocrine Tumors
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) are rare tumors arising from neuroendocrine cells. NEN are ideally suited for a theragnostic approach due to their specific expression of somatostatin receptors (SSTR). SSTR imaging of NEN dates back to the 1980s, but has evolved recently due to the introduction of more sensitive SSTR PET radiotracers. SSTR PET is a primary imaging modality for identifying NEN and characterizing SSTR expression. SSTR PET is complementary to anatomic imaging for assessing tumor response to treatment. SSTR PET is mandated to determine eligibility for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. Here, the role of imag...
