Stent appearance in a novel silicon-based photon-counting CT prototype: ex vivo phantom study in head-to-head comparison with conventional energy-integrating CT Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Methods: An ex vivo phantom was created, consisting of a 2% agar-water mixture, in which human-resected and stented arteries were individually embedded. Using similar technique parameters, helical scan data was acquired using a novel ...
Upper Limb Nerve Variations May Alter Clinical Diagnosis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Upper limb nerve variations may be related to the absence of a nerve, an interconnection between two nerves or a variant course. The purpose of this review is to screen the existing literature on upper limb nerve variations that may alter the neurologic diagnostic process. A scoping review was performed following PRISMA for Scoping Reviews guidelines. Initially, 1331 articles were identified by searching Pubmed and Web of Science until the ...
Variability of Active Cervical Range of Motion Within and Between Days in Healthy Participants Vrije Universiteit Brussel
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the intraday and interday variability and systematic change over the day of active cervical range of motion (aCROM) measurements in asymptomatic persons using a clinically applicable measurement device.
METHODS: A prospective observational study was performed. Sixteen adults (8 men and 8 women, median age 51 years) without neck pain in the last 3 months were recruited in 2 ...
Physical activity increases synovial fluid in ankle tendon sheaths Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Objectives: To compare the amount of fluid in synovial sheaths of the ankle before and after running. Our hypothesis was that this amount would increase and that the threshold for what is normally acceptable should be adjusted after physical activity. Methods: Twenty-one healthy volunteers (n = 42 ankles) ran for 40 min on a treadmill. They underwent 3 T MRI before and immediately after running using a dedicated ankle coil. The images were ...
Influence of medial and lateral imaging plane inclination on assessment of trochlear depth, sulcus angle, and facet asymmetry in the setting of trochlear anatomy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
PURPOSE: (1) to assess the influence of medial or lateral imaging plane inclination on the measurement of sulcus angle, trochlear depth, and facet asymmetry on transverse cross-sectional images. (2) to assess the effect of measurement level (height) on these respective parameters.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty dry femurs (9 left, 11 right) were imaged with CT. A 3D dataset was obtained from which axial images were reconstructed in the ...
Morphologic and Morphometric Measurements of the Foramen Ovale: Comparing Digitized Measurements Performed on Dried Human Crania With Computed Tomographic Imaging. An Observational Anatomic Study Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The reliability of muscle quantity and quality measured with extended-field-of-view ultrasound at nine body sites Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Measuring muscle quantity and quality is very important because the loss of muscle quantity and quality is associated with several adverse effects specifically in older people. Ultrasound is a method widely used to measure muscle quantity and quality. One problem with ultrasound is its limited field of view, which makes it impossible to measure the muscle quantity and quality of certain muscles. In this study, we aimed to ...
