When precision in medical procedures is critical, every detail counts—especially those that improve accuracy and safety. Edgetech Industries LLC, a leading marker bands manufacturer, specializes in tantalum radiopaque marker bands. These small yet essential components ensure visibility, precise positioning, and contribute to the success of medical implants and device placement procedures. ...
Posterolateral Rabbit Spinal Fusion Study I. Introduction Autologous bone has long been the gold standard for bone graft substitute in spinal fusion procedures. The limited supply and morbidity associated with using autologous graft material led to the development of alternative bone grafting materials. Bioactive glass has a long history of biomedical use and has been shown to facilitate mineral ...
Coupling drugs combine the precise targeting and potent killing properties, has become a widely recognized form of medication in recent years. Radioactive drug conjugates (RDCs), as a particular form of coupling drugs, are formed by combining radioactive isotopes with disease-targeting molecules. According to the application of RDCs, they can be divided into two main categories: diagnostic RDCs ...
Explore how surgeons are using COREX to harvest cancellous bone graft using a minimally invasive ...
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has recently been recognized as the single greatest unmet need in cardiovascular medicine, overtaking heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and becoming the most common form of heart failure, with a prevalence that is increasing by 1% annually.[1] Despite this, there remains no gold standard in diagnosing HFpEF. Diagnosing ...

The use of computer vision in radiology may have advantages for both patients and medical facilities. However, some worry that machine learning (ML) may one day replace doctors because it can outperform them. The desire for increased efficiency and efficacy in clinical care has been the primary motivating reason behind the development of AI in medical imaging. Recent technological developments, ...
referral from a Physician after a full physical evaluation including radiography. onset of shoulder pain between 2 weeks and 3 months prior to inclusion in the study. ...
In this case, we see the preoperative radiographs of a 70-year-old, independent woman with medical comorbidities. Stability was achieved under local MAC, utilizing minimally invasive T-Pin ...
The combination of congenital heart disease (CHD) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) can present a difficult scenario to manage with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV). Our patient presented with poor right ventricular (RV) function, and refractory respiratory failure on CMV. High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) was used in order to improve ventilation at a similar or lower mean ...
In many developing countries throughout the world, infant and child mortality rates are disturbingly high, and acute respiratory infections— in particular pneumonia—are a leading cause of death. As a result, preventing pneumonia is a priority, and the World Health Organization (WHO) and other healthcare institutions are studying a number of vaccines designed to protect against the ...
Dr. Kandace P. McGuire shares how 3D tomosynthesis assisted her during two cases (The Case of the Missing Magseed & Imaging a Bracketed Lesion). In addition, Dr. McGuire discusses how she evaluated the specimens in multiple ways using KUBTEC’s MOZART ...
Intellijoint Surgical is proud to announce a new, optional feature to the Intellijoint KNEE system. It helps provide quantitative measurements of femoral and tibial rotational alignment. Originally released back in 2020, Intellijoint KNEE is the second application following the company’s flagship product, Intellijoint HIP. The Intellijoint team has continued to innovate and expand ...
Brain biopsy procedure has been evolving for the last four decades in concurrence with the imaging developments of the brain. Frame-based stereotactic interventions are considered the conventional gold reference standard for obtaining biopsy specimens of lesions from the brain. In this modality, a bulky head frame is fixed to the patient’s head before imaging procedures as it is an integral ...
Medial artery calcification (MAC) is independent from atherosclerosis and is correlated with aging, DM and CKD.4 MAC affects the arterial tree extensively, resembling “railroad tracks” along the silhouette of the arterial wall on plain radiography. In patients with DM and CKD, MAC is a powerful risk factor for cardiovascular events and death. ...
The long-term success of dental implant surgery is dependent, in part, on accurate planning and placement of the implant.1 Currently, there are many digital planning systems available to aid the clinician in pre-operative treatment planning, although the main challenge with these planning systems is to accurately transfer the digital plan to the clinical situation. Most systems involve taking a ...
The following case was performed at the Pacific Dental Convention’s Live Surgical Stage held March 8th, 2018 in Vancouver, BC. The patient is a healthy 58 year old male with no known allergies or medical contra-indications to dental treatment. Patient presented with a Class III malocclusion for which he received both orthodontic and oral surgery consultations; however, he was not ...
INTRODUCTION The goal of the implant surgeon is to place the implant in the ideal position, to support the prosthesis for the best long term prognosis, while managing important anatomical landmarks. With the aid of Cone Beam CT scans the implant surgeon is able to evaluate, in three dimension, the ridge, important anatomy, as well as pre-plan implant placement in the most ideal position. ...
For years, industrial radiography has been the standard inspection technique for austenitic stainless steel. ...
The cornerstone of a safe MRI workplace is repeated and updated MRI safety training and awareness. The number of MRI scanners is increasing, and scanners are also moving toward higher field strengths, both in private practice and at hospitals and institutions all over the world. Consequently, there is a large and increasing crowd of radiology staff and others who need MRI safety education to keep ...
