Impact of Replacing Old C-Arms on Reducing Radiation Exposure
Journal of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology, 2022 Fluoroscopy is increasingly used by gastroenterologists for endoscopic procedures such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Unfortunately, fluoroscopy exposes patients and staff to ionizing radiation, which can cause DNA damage, cell death,

Automatic annotation of hip anatomy in fluoroscopy for robust and efficient 2D/3D registration [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery, 2019 Purpose Fluoroscopy is the standard imaging modality used to guide hip surgery and is therefore a natural sensor for computer-assisted navigation. In order to efficiently solve the complex registration problems presented during navigation, human-assisted

Incidental Diagnosis of Pediatric Arytenoid Cartilage Dislocation During Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study: A Case Report [PDF]
Annals of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2020 Arytenoid cartilage dislocation is one of the most common mechanical causes of vocal fold immobility. The most common etiologies are intubation and external trauma, but its incidence is lower than 0.1%. Its symptoms include dysphonia, vocal fatigue, loss
