Optimising Radiation Dose Estimation: UNSCEAR DAP‐to‐ED Conversion in Uterine Artery Embolisation
This study uses the conversion factors from the ‘UNSCEAR Global Survey on Medical Exposure: A User Manual’ to estimate radiation dose exposure for patients undergoing uterine artery embolisation. Estimating the effective dose provides interventional radiologists and interventional radiographers a better understanding of the stochastic risks associated ...

Imaging Characteristics of Persistent Carotid‐Vertebrobasilar Anastomoses Detected by Ultrasound
In this case series, we aimed to evaluate the ultrasonic characteristics of 35 patients with persistent carotid‐vertebrobasilar anastomoses (PCVBA), a rare variant between the anterior and posterior cerebral circulation. Ultrasound detected seven (30.4%, 7/23) primitive trigeminal arteries (PTA), eight (100%, 8/8) primitive hypoglossal arteries (PHA ...

Achieving robust labeling above the circle of Willis with vessel‐encoded arterial spin labeling
Abstract Purpose To improve the robustness of noninvasive vessel‐selective perfusion imaging and angiography using vessel‐encoded arterial spin labeling (VEASL) when applied to complex vascular geometries, such as above the circle of Willis (CoW) in the brain.

The clinical manifestation of DOLV was atypical. TTE has a relatively high diagnostic accuracy for DOLV in pediatric, which is very valuable for its early detection. ABSTRACT Double outlet left ventricle (DOLV) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which both great arteries originate entirely or predominantly from the morphologic left ventricle.

Accuracy of Length of Virtual Stents in Treatment of Intracranial Wide-Necked Aneurysms. [PDF]
Background and purposePrecise stent deployment is important for successful treatment of intracranial aneurysms by stent-assisted coiling (SAC). We evaluated the accuracy of virtual stents generated using commercial stent planning software by comparing ...

The future of ischemic stroke: flow from prehospital neuroprotection to definitive reperfusion. [PDF]
Recent advances in ischemic stroke enable a seamless transition of the patient flow from the prehospital setting to definitive reperfusion, without the arbitrary separation of therapeutic phases of ischemia based on time alone.

South Africa faces a high burden of trauma‐related vascular injury. Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial to limit morbidity and mortality. Literature recommends a thorough vascular examination of at‐risk patients. Ankle brachial index (ABI) and arterial pressure index (API) are considered reliable screening tools for lower extremity vascular ...
