Pitfalls in interventional X-ray organ dose assessment -- combined experimental and computational phantom study: application to prostatic artery embolization [PDF]
, 2020 With X-ray radiation protection and dose management constantly gaining interest in interventional radiology, novel procedures often undergo prospective dose studies using anthropomorphic phantoms to determine expected dose values. Due to inherent uncertainties, these dose values might not allow for patient-specific risk assessment. Therefore, first the

Xylem embolism and bubble formation during freezing suggest complex dynamics of pressure-tension in Betula pendula stems [PDF]
, 2022 Freeze-thaw-induced embolism is a key limiting factor for perennial plants in frost-exposed environments. Gas bubbles are formed during freezing and expand during thawing resulting in xylem embolism. However, when water freezes, its volume increases by 9%, generating local pressures, which can affect the formation of bubbles.

Three dimensional simulations of embolic stroke: clinical comparisons and an equation for sizing emboli from imaging [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 There is a need to develop Monte Carlo simulations of stroke to run in-silico trials to replace animal models, explore clinical scenarios to develop hypotheses for clinical studies and for interpreting clinical monitoring. We perform three-dimensional (3D) stroke simulations, carrying out in-silico trials to relate lesion volume to embolus diameter and

Uterine Artery Embolization as Nonsurgical Treatment of Uterine Myomas [PDF]
ISRN Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2011 The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety, efficacy or complications of uterine artery embolization (UAE). Patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids (n=157) were treated by selective bilateral UAE using 350–500 μm sized polyvinyl alcohol particles. Bilateral UAE was successful in 152 (96.8%) cases. Baseline measures of clinical symptoms and MRI

Comment on: In vitro prediction of the lower/upper-critical biofluid flow choking index and in vivo demonstration of flow choking in the stenosis artery of the animal with air embolism [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In a recent paper published in Physics of Fluids, Sanal Kumar et al. present a model of transonic compressible flows based on ideal gas theory that is irrelevant to biofluid flow and there are flaws in the general reasoning. In addition, the experimental attempts do not show any evidence of supersonic flow and do not provide any support for the flawed ...

Anatomically aware dual-hop learning for pulmonary embolism detection in CT pulmonary angiograms [PDF]
, 2023 Pulmonary Embolisms (PE) represent a leading cause of cardiovascular death. While medical imaging, through computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA), represents the gold standard for PE diagnosis, it is still susceptible to misdiagnosis or significant diagnosis delays, which may be fatal for critical cases.
