(1) Background: Surgery for spinal metastases has gained a decisive role in modern oncological treatment. Recently, carbon-fiber-reinforced (CFR) polyethyl-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) pedicle screw systems were introduced, reducing artifacts on imaging and showing less perturbation effects photon radiation. Preliminary clinical experience with CFR-PEEK implants exists. The aim of this monocentric study is to report the safety efficacy neoplasms large cohort consecutive patients. (2) Methods:...
The combined testing for coronary artery and pulmonary diseases is of clinical interest as risk factors are shared. In this study, a novel ECG-gated tin-filtered ultra-low dose chest CT protocol (GCCT) integrated heart lung acquisition the applicability artificial intelligence (AI)-based calcium scoring were assessed.In registry 10481 patients undergoing CT, GCCT was applied in 44 on dual-source CT. Coronary scans (CCS) with 120 kVp, 100 kVp (Sn100) controls, matched regard to age, sex,...
