Adenosine stress computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (CTP) is an emerging non-invasive method for detecting ischaemia. Its value when compared with fractional flow reserve (FFR), a highly accurate index of ischaemia, unknown. Our aim was to determine the diagnostic accuracy CTP and its incremental used coronary angiography (CTA) ischaemia FFR. Forty-two patients (126 vessel territories), who had at least one ≥50% angiographic stenosis on invasive considered non-urgent...
Following microdiscectomy, discs generally fail to undergo spontaneous regeneration and patients may experience chronic low-back pain recurrent disc prolapse. In published studies, formulations of mesenchymal progenitor cells combined with pentosan polysulfate (MPCs+PPS) have been shown regenerate tissue in animal models, suggesting that this approach provide a useful adjunct microdiscectomy. The goal preclinical laboratory study was determine if the transplantation MPCs+PPS, embedded...
Noninvasive coronary angiography has generally been contraindicated in patients with atrial fibrillation because of the difficulty synchronizing an irregular heartbeat table gantry movement. The objective this study was to evaluate and compare quality 320-MDCT images obtained a control group sinus rhythm.Two reviewers were blinded patient groups evaluated 15 artery segments for each using 320-MDCT. printed on glossy paper scored subjectively as 1 or 2, meaning diagnostic quality, 3, poor...

We used a dynamic three-dimensional (3D) mapping method to model the wrist in unrestricted dart throwers motion three men and four women. With aid of precision landmark identification, 3D coordinate system was applied distal radius movement carpus described. Subsequently, with reconstructions freedom position camera viewpoint anywhere space, we observed pathways all carpal bones calculated its axis rotation. This lie 27° anteversion from coronal plane 44° varus angulation relative transverse...
Both the direct anterior approach (DAA) and posterior (PA) to THA have known advantages disadvantages. The comparison between DAA PA has been widely explored during early postoperative period. However, few randomized trials compared these approaches at a minimum follow-up of 5 years; doing so would be important establish any differences in mid-term outcomes or complications.We performed trial comparing terms (1) patient-reported outcome scores, (2) quality life functional assessed by EQ-5D...
Objective Using 4-dimensional computed tomographic scanner to determine the motion pattern of acromioclavicular (AC) joint during adduction arm, with and without resisted superior elevation. Methods Sixteen healthy volunteers (5 women 11 men; mean ± SD age, 42 years). Four different motions were measured: AC width, anteroposterior translation, superoinferior opening aspect joint. Measurements between arm positions neutral, adduction, loaded compared. Results Predominant movement is posterior...
This study aims to compare the image quality of second generation versus first 320-computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) in patients with heart rate ≥65 bpm as it has not been specifically reported.Consecutive who underwent CTCA using second-generation-320-detector-row-CT were prospectively enrolled. A total 50 elevated (≥65 bpm) and controlled (<65 included. Age gender matched scanned first-generation-320-detector-row-CT retrospectively identified. Image each artery segment was...
Purpose To assess the long-term outcome and hospital readmission rate associated with a computed tomographic (CT) angiography–guided strategy used to examine patients who present emergency department (ED) symptoms of possible acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Materials Methods The study was approved by institutional review board, all provided written informed consent. A total 585 consecutive (mean age, 58 years ± 11 [standard deviation]; 58% were male) ischemic-type chest pain low intermediate...
To assess the impact on length of stay and rate major adverse cardiovascular events a cardiac computed tomographic (CT) angiography-guided algorithm to examine patients who present emergency department (ED) with low- intermediate-risk chest pain.The study was approved by institutional review board, all gave written informed consent. Two hundred three consecutive (mean age, 55 years ± 11 [standard deviation]; 123 men) ischemic-type pain were prospectively enrolled. Patients underwent initial...
The 320-slice computed tomography (CT) provides three-dimensional and dynamic imaging resulting in the ability to assess motion analysis between two adjacent structures (the fourth dimension). Differential movements would indicate that there is no fixation structures.Eight patients with non-small-cell lung cancers located vital (e.g. great vessels) (n = 4), mediastinum 1) or chest wall 3) where conventional CT was unable exclude local invasion underwent four-dimensional (4D) assessment. In 3...
Background A 22-year-old man with no history of trauma and normal plain films, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging presents several months increasingly severe pain clicking in the right wrist. He is clinically diagnosed midcarpal instability undergoes a 4-dimensional computed tomography scan his wrist for further evaluation. Methods The motion subject’s lunate was evaluated through full arc flexion extension as well radial ulnar deviation. comparison made an asymptomatic patient...
