MRI of Total Hip Arthroplasty: Successful Ripple Artifact Reduction Using Wavelet Domain Filtering
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Slice encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC) is used in MRI for total hip arthroplasties for metal artifact reduction. However, ripple artifacts often arise near the implant, impairing diagnosis in affected regions. Hypothesis Applying a wavelet domain filter (WD‐Filter) might reduce ripple artifacts and improve image ...

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.Patient‐derived xenograft (PDX) tumor models initiated in avian chorioallantoic membranes (CAM) are under investigation to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic options with the objective of personalizing treatments. CAM PDXs paired with ultra‐high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) imaging could potentially constitute prospective high throughput assays ...

Eustachian Tube Opening in Children With and Without Cleft Palate and Association With Otitis Media
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Using transnasal endoscopy in 50 children, structural abnormalities of the torus tubarius—particularly the posterior lip—were significantly more common in children with cleft palate than in those without (52% vs. 20%). Adenoid size, dynamic Eustachian tube opening visibility, and the Eustachian Tube Inflammation Scale correlated with middle ear status ...
