Extraction of Airways with Probabilistic State-space Models and Bayesian Smoothing
Segmenting tree structures is common in several image processing applications. In medical image analysis, reliable segmentations of airways, vessels, neurons and other tree structures can enable important clinical applications. We present a framework for

Transcatheter closure of a rare coronary artery fistula using a modified mother–child technique
Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are rare abnormal communications between a normal coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or great vessel, such as the pulmonary artery, bypassing the myocardial capillary network.

Respiratory Motion‐Corrected Model‐Based 3D Water‐Fat MRA of the Thorax at 0.55 T
ABSTRACT Purpose The goal of this study was to develop a 5‐min 3D MRA acquisition at 0.55 T with predictable scan time, 100% data efficiency, and robust water‐fat separation. Methods For full data efficiency, the proposed method combined self‐gating with retrospective motion correction while ensuring a predictable 5‐min scan time.

Aberrant right coronary artery occlusion during the percutaneous pulmonary trunk stenting in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot [PDF]
Aberrant coronary arteries are frequently observed in patients presenting with Fallot's tetralogy (TOF). Before the complete surgical repair of the TOF, the percutaneously performed pulmonary trunk (PT) angioplasty is often performed in order to ...

Cardiovascular Health in Women—Across the Lifespan
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among women worldwide. However, CVD continues to be perceived as a predominantly male issue. CVD in women therefore remains understudied, underrecognized and undertreated.

ABSTRACT Posterior circulation strokes can present with diverse neurological deficits, some of which challenge conventional localization principles. We report a case of a 74‐year‐old male with a history of prior right medullary infarct who presented with recurrent symptoms and was found to have a new medullary acute ischemic stroke in the setting of ...

Post‐mortem CT detection of fatal air embolism after aerosolized fibrin glue for bladder bleeding
Abstract Radiation‐induced hemorrhagic cystitis (RHC) is a severe complication of pelvic radiotherapy, often used to treat various pelvic malignancies. Despite multiple therapeutic options, including conservative and invasive interventions, the optimal management remains uncertain. We report the case of a 76‐year‐old male with pulmonary emphysema and a
