Abstract The diagnosis of certain spine pathologies, such as scoliosis, spondylolisthesis and vertebral fractures, is part the daily clinical routine. Very frequently, magnetic resonance image data are used to diagnose these kinds pathologies in order avoid exposing patients harmful radiation, like X‐ray. We present a method which detects segments all acquired bodies, with minimal user intervention. This allows an automatic detect crushed vertebrae. Our approach consists three major steps....
To evaluate the most important factors of quality life in patients after vestibular schwannoma surgery. Patients with unilateral sporadic occurrence who underwent surgery via suboccipital-retrosigmoid approach were included prospective study (2018-2021). previous Leksell gamma knife irradiation (or other methods stereotactic radiosurgery) excluded. Quality was assessed using 10 validated questionnaires that distributed preoperatively, 3 months and 1 year A total 76 study, complete data...
White matter changes assessed by DTI typically reflect tract functionality. This study aimed to investigate parameter alterations in important regions pre- and postshunt implantation patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), alongside assessing the relationship between parameters clinical improvement. Patients probable iNPH underwent prospective preoperative MRI comprehensive work-up 2017-2022. symptoms of iNPH, positive result on a lumbar infusion test, and/or gait...
OBJECTIVES: Access to the pterygopalatine fossa is very difficult due its complex anatomy.Therefore, an open approach traditionally used, but morbidity unavoidable.To overcome this problem, endoscopic endonasal was developed as a minimally invasive procedure.The surgical aim of present study evaluate utility for management both benign and malignant tumors fossa.METHOD: We report our experience with summarize recent recommendations.A total 13 patients underwent surgery via masses from 2014...
Introduction Currently, it is possible to preserve the auditory nerve in a large number of cases, but preservation hearing itself unpredictable. Apart from wait and scan strategy stereoradiotherapy, after vestibular schwannoma surgery considered remain stable even long-term follow-up. Materials Methods Twenty-eight patients had preserved retrosigmoid suboccipital microsurgery between 2008 2014. A standard audiological protocol was performed together with an magnetic resonance imaging...
Phase-contrast MRI allows detailed measurements of various parameters CSF motion. This examination is technically demanding and machine dependent. The literature on this topic ambiguous. Machine learning (ML) approaches have already been successfully utilized in medical research, but none yet applied to enhance the results flowmetry. aim study was evaluate possible contribution ML algorithms enhancing utilization flowmetry idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) diagnostics.The...
Aim To evaluate the most important factors of quality life in patients after vestibular schwannoma surgery.
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) approaches can significantly improve the classical R out -based evaluation of lumbar infusion test (LIT) and clinical management normal pressure hydrocephalus. OBJECTIVE: To develop a ML model that accurately identifies patients as candidates for permanent cerebral spinal fluid shunt implantation using only intracranial electrocardiogram signals recorded throughout LIT. METHODS: This was single-center cohort study prospectively collected data 96 who...
The incidence of sporadic vestibular schwannoma has significantly increased over the past few decades. However, there is no method currently available to accurately predict risk subsequent tumor growth. difference in management five patient groups been evaluated: wait and scan, conversion microsurgery, stereoradiotherapy, sterioradiotherapy, microsurgery. In total, 463 patients with have consulted our department from 2010 through 2016. Of 250 initially indicated for observation, 32.4% were...
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate whether white matter changes as measured by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can help differentiate shunt-responsive idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients from with other causes gait disturbances and/or cognitive decline ventriculomegaly whose clinical symptoms do not improve significantly after cerebrospinal fluid derivation (non-iNPH). Between 2017 and 2022, 85 probable iNPH underwent prospective preoperative magnetic...
Microsurgical extirpation is one of the basic modalities treatment for patients with vestibular schwannoma. Considering significant decrease in mortality and morbidity schwannoma past decades, quality life has become most important criterion current management. Despite great scientific technological progress surgical schwannoma, we can encounter a number serious complications that have major impact on life. A questionnaire studies confirm these are mainly postoperative facial nerve lesion,...
