TMJ imaging benefits from digital tomo technique

By Brian Casey

Japanese researchers have produced good results using a digital tomosynthesis technique for general radiography studies of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). As part of its research, the group also developed a new reconstruction algorithm for digital tomo studies that they say reduces image artifacts in the 3D volumes generated by the digital tomo system they used.

3D volume-rendered CT for pelvic fractures scales back imaging studies, not quality

By Shalmali Pal

Diagnosing acetabular fracture, particularly in the trauma setting, is an elaborate process that involves multiple, time-consuming, radiation dose-heavy imaging studies. In an effort to simplify this complex imaging paradigm, radiologists and orthopedists at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, NC, have proposed using 3D volume-rendered CT to assess acetabular fractures. Their protocol would reduce the number of imaging studies as well as the patient dose.
