An elderly male, with a recent COVID-19 infection and cardiovascular comorbidities, experienced a prolonged hospitalization due to a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and bacteremia, post hip hemiarthroplasty. Despite the initial clinical improvem...

Objective: This study’s objective was to explore whether certain parameters measurable by dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) performed 24 h after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) can predict subsequent hemorrhagic transformation. Material an...

Background: By using optimal insertion techniques with water infusion and dynamic position changes, pain during colonoscopy is greatly reduced and the procedures can usually be performed without sedation. We investigated whether the excellent results...

Background: This study aimed to compare the accuracy of linear measurements obtained using the classical (manual) method versus cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in craniofacial anthropometry, specifically targeting the infraorbital foramen (IOF)....

Background/Objectives: Individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) have altered lumbar multifidus stiffness properties compared to healthy controls. Although neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) application to the multifidus might affect sti...

Background: The effect of differing post-contrast phases on CT body composition measurements is not yet known. Methods: A fully automated AI-based body composition analysis using DAFS was performed on a retrospective cohort of 278 subjects undergoing...

Background: The increasing integration of AI in chest X-ray evaluation holds promise for enhancing diagnostic accuracy and optimizing clinical workflows. However, understanding its performance in real-world clinical settings is essential. Objectives:...

Objective: This study aimed to establish a correlation between fecal calprotectin levels (FC) and intestinal inflammation in patients with spondyloarthritis without inflammatory bowel disease. Methods: A total of 180 SpA patients were included in the...

Background: Accurate measurements of flow and ventricular volume and function are critical for clinical decision-making in cardiovascular medicine. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the current gold standard for ventricular functional evaluation bu...

Background: Peroral cholangioscopy (POCS) is valuable for assessing malignant biliary strictures; however, biliary drainage prior to POCS often hinders accurate diagnosis. Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the feasibility of P...
