Lumbar Spine X-ray Examinations.The Occupational Medicine Forum presents questions of general interest received by the AOMA Committee on Occupational Medical Practice. Answers usually are prepared by the Committee, representing the composite best judgment of its members. Such replies do not necessarily ...
Other labeled structures include the scaphocerite (SCa), lateral teeth (LT), three folds (f), small simple setae (SS), long filamentous setae (LS), a small seta with a hole at its proximal end (H), pits (P), antennal spine (AS), and unipennate feather setae (FS) Full size ...
Peripheral x-ray absorptiometry methods such as those described above are substantially cheaper than DXA and QCT with system prices ranging between $15,000 and $35,000. However, epidemiologic studies have shown that the discriminatory ability of peripheral BMD measurements to predict spine and hip fr...

If a thin layer of bone substitute is used it can be difficult to see in an X-ray picture. To improve the visibility, it could be possible to add a radiographic contrast medium to the material. To stabilise the spine, a bone graft substitute can be injected. If a bone substitute leaks...
We tested three neural network architectures (ResNet-50, VGG-16, and ChexNet), three segmentation schemes (no segmentation, lung segmentation, and lateral segmentation based on spine detection), and three data balancing strategies (undersampling, double-stage sampling, and synthetic minority over...
LS: lumbar spine. FN: femoral neck. TH: TH: femoral trocanther. PHPT: primary hyperparathyroidism. LS-BSI: lumbar spine bone strain index. VFs: vertebral fracture. AUC: area under the curve. BMD: bone mineral density. TBS: trabecular bone score. HSA: hip structural analysis. aBMD: areal...
3-dimensional (3D) spine;generative adversarial network (GAN);simulated biplanar X-ray 1. Introduction The human spine is an essential axial skeleton that protects the central nervous system and provides conduction to the peripheral nervous system. Clinical evaluation of the spine includes two-dimensio...
Structure and Orientation: Final Discussion The 2H NMR results show that the two lateral deuterated rings give rise to the same NMR signals. Thus, they cannot be distinguished at the NMR time scale. This is in agreement with previous 13C NMR results, where the two sets of 13C signals ...
