This framework is made of three components: (1) a segmentation tool based on 3D-UNet to segment 13 different organs (brain, thyroid, aorta, lung, inferior vena cava, heart, liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, adrenal glands, bones, bladder) from low-dose CT; (2) an algorithm to perform ...
Both the Kiand SUL were higher in the epiphyseal, metaphyseal and cortical regions of long bones. Moreover, trends associated with age and overweight with glucose uptake (SULmaxand SULmean) in bones were uncovered. Overall, these results indicate that the skeleton is a site with significant glu...
occurred in the medial cuneonavicular joint in the total ankle arthroplasty foot. Neither of the surgeries resulted in contact pressure increase in the subtalar joint. The peak stress in the metatarsal bones was increased in both surgical models, especially the second and third metatarsals. This st...
laminated plies are loosely bonded. As these overlapping plies of the annulus buckle and separate, either circumferential or radial tears may occur in the annulus, potentially resulting in persistent and disabling back pain. Adjacent, ancillary facet joints between vertebrae bones may also be forced ...
in the bones, and 56% of autopsy cases reveal the occurrence of bone metastasis. The most frequent sites of bone metastasis are the thoracic and lumbosacral spine. The consequences of bone metastasis are often devastating, as only 20% of patients with breast cancer are still alive five years ...
of a metal shell and an insert made of UHMWPE, metal, or ceramic. The prosthesis can be fixed to the pelvic bones with orthopedic screws or nails. The femoral component, which consists of the femoral stem and femoral head, can also be modular or one-piece when the femoral head is ...
