An Overview of 3-D Printing for Medical Applications
CONCLUSION: Radiology departments are becoming vital components of 3-D printing in health care by providing computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging data sets to designate anatomical structures for 3-D fabrication. 3-D medical printing programs in hospital settings might be limited to larger facilities because of associated start-up costs. However, as competition in the 3-D market increases, costs are expected to decline, which will help reduce barriers to 3-D printing across the health care community.PMID:35260484

Role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in Large Vessel Vasculitis and Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Systemic vasculitides comprise a group of autoimmune diseases affecting blood vessels, including large vessel vasculitis (LVV) and medium-sized vessel vasculitis such as giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu arteritis (TAK). GCA frequently overlaps with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), a rheumatic inflammatory condition affecting bursae, tendons or tendon sheaths, and joints. 18F-FDG PET/CT plays an important role in the diagnostic work-up of GCA, PMR, and TAK and is increasingly used to monitor treatment response. This continuing education article provides up-to-date guidance on the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with ...

Consider the Promises and Challenges of Medical Image Analyses Using Machine Learning
Medical imaging saves millions of lives each year, helping doctors detect and diagnose a wide range of diseases, from cancer and appendicitis to stroke and heart disease. Because non-invasive early disease detection saves so many lives, scientific investment continues to increase. Artifical intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the medical imaging industry by sifting through mountains of scans quickly and offering providers and patients with life-changing insights into a variety of diseases, injuries, and conditions that may be hard to detect without the supplemental technology. Images are the largest source...

Development and Implementation of an Electronic Learning Module for Volumetric Image-Guided Radiation Therapy
Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) through daily cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has significantly impacted the role of the radiation therapist at our institution; continuing education is crucial to ensure safe practice of technology in the clinical environment. The purpose of this work was to develop and implement an electronic learning (eLearning) module as a yearly refresher for CBCT-practicing radiation therapists.

Timely identification of atypical acute aortic dissection in the emergency department:a study from a tertiary hospital
Conclusions: For patients in the emergency department who are suspected of having AAD, incorporating atypical symptoms with high levels of D-dimer into a triage strategy could improve the efficiency of clinical decision making. Furthermore, essential education directed towards the recognition of the atypical symptoms of AAD for front-line physicians may aid in a timely diagnosis, as compared with the usual assessments in the emergency department.

What is the Long-term Outcome of ACL Repair?
Discussion The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) “is an intra-articular but extrasynovial collagenous structure with limited healing capacity that originates in the posteromedial aspect of the lateral femoral condyle and crosses into anteromedially to insert anterior into the intercondylar eminence of tibial articular surface.” It plays an important part as a mechanoreceptor particularly as a proprioceptor. Its main role is to prevent excessive anterior tibial translation, limits varus/valgus stress when the knee is in full extension and some rotary movements of the knee. There are ~120,000 surgeries per year m...

The Case Files: A Patient with Not-So-Benign Low Back Pain
By Chung, Arlene S. MD; Raukar, Neha P. MD   A 20-year-old man with a history of schizophrenia and polysubstance abuse presented to the ED complaining nonradiating, left-sided low back pain for one week. He denied any trauma, inciting event, intravenous drug use, tuberculosis exposure, or prior history of back pain or surgery. He also denied systemic symptoms such as fevers, sweats, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, leg pain, or difficulty walking.   He was taking risperidone and lithium, smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, did not drink alcohol, and occasionally used marijuana. Family history was negative for malignancy....

RbQE: An Efficient Method for Content-Based Medical Image Retrieval Based on Query Expansion
AbstractSystems for retrieving and managing content-based medical images are becoming more important, especially as medical imaging technology advances and the medical image database grows. In addition, these systems can also use medical images to better grasp and gain a deeper understanding of the causes and treatments of different diseases, not just for diagnostic purposes. For achieving all these purposes, there is a critical need for an efficient and accurate content-based medical image retrieval (CBMIR) method. This paper proposes an efficient method (RbQE) for the retrieval of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic re...
