Open AccessDual-energy computed tomography in acute ischemic stroke: state-of-the-art
Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) allows distinguishing between tissues with similar X-ray attenuation but different atomic numbers. Recent studies demonstrated that this technique has several areas of ap...

Open AccessSupernumerary kidneys: a clinical and radiological analysis of nine cases
A supernumerary kidney (SK) is an additional kidney with its own capsule and blood supply that is not fused with the ipsilateral kidney (IK). Because individual case reports indicate a high morbidity rate, the...

Towards Quantifying Neurovascular Resilience
Whilst grading neurovascular abnormalities is critical for prompt surgical repair, no statistical markers are currently available for predicting the risk of adverse events, such as stroke, and the overall resi...

Open AccessImproved visualisation of early cerebral infarctions after endovascular stroke therapy using dual-energy computed tomography oedema maps
The aim was to investigate whether dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) reconstructions optimised for oedema visualisation (oedema map; EM) facilitate an improved detection of early infarctions after endovas...

Open AccessPrognostic factors in endovascular treated pelvic haemorrhage after blunt trauma
Angioembolization is the method of choice for treating haemorrhage after blunt pelvic trauma. The aim of this study was to determine technical factors related to endovascular procedures which might be related ...

Open AccessPrediction of infarction development after endovascular stroke therapy with dual-energy computed tomography
After intraarterial recanalisation (IAR), the haemorrhage and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption can be distinguished using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT). The aim of the present study was to inv...

Open AccessSystemic air embolism causing acute stroke and myocardial infarction after percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy – a case report
The air embolism in this case was likely to have been caused by positioning the patient in a prone position, which was associated with the lesion to be biopsied being at a maximum height over the left atrium. ...

Open AccessCorrelation between degenerative spine disease and bone marrow density: a retrospective investigation
Spondylosis leads to an overestimation of bone mineral density (BMD) with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) but not with quantitative computed tomography (QCT). The correlation between degenerative change...
