Validity of CT Versus Manual Measurements in the Three-Dimensional Spine Structure: Tips for Elucidating a More Precise Specimen for the Use of Translaminar ScrewsBackground context The use of CT to image the spine has enhanced the ability to preoperatively plan instrumentation. However, ...
The appropriate use of these new technologies is still somewhat unsettled. The focus is on which test will provide the most accurate and cost effective diagnostic information for each particular clinical situation. Computed tomographic scan, CT myelography, MRI and plain radiography all have their plac...
“Inappropriate use of MRI leads to increasing interventions andsurgeries for low back pain. We probed the potential effects of a routine MRI report on the patient’s perception of (his/her) spine and functional outcome of treatment. An alternate ‘clinical reporting’ was developed and tested fo...
Objectives: To compare diagnosis performance and effective dose of ultra-low-dose CT (ULD CT) versus radiographs in suspected spinal or pelvic ring or hip fracture for minor trauma. Methods: ULD CT, in addition to radiography, was prospectively performed in consecutive patients admitted to the ...
OBJECTIVE This prospective randomized study aimed to investigate the accuracy, radiation exposure, and surgical workflow optimization of a novel intraoperative spinal navigation system using preoperative fan-beam (FB) CT versus the classic intraoperative cone-beam (CB) CT in patients undergoing minimally ...

This review provides an overview of the major artifacts in CT and MRI and state-of- the-art solutions to improve image quality. All steps of image acquisition from device selection, scan preparations and parameters to image post-processing influence the magni- tude of metal artifacts. ...
MRI is currently thegold standardfor evaluation of hip pathology. Conventional MRI is widely used to evaluate the bone marrow and soft tissue anatomy to assist with surgical decision-making and can take from 15 to 30 minutes to acquire the whole scan on the current scanners.5One major disadvant...
Ten additional control patients required MRI and CT scans of the lumbosacral spine for clinical indications unrelated to Marfan syndrome or other conditions in which dural ectasia has been reported. None of these patients had a diagnosis of Marfan syndrome. This study was approved by the Johns ...
