Summary: This study describes and analyzes the characteristics, location, and frequency of transverse acetabular fracture lines using fracture mapping and quantitative measurements. The results show that the fracture lines of transverse fractures are mainly located on the anterior and posterior rims of the acetabulum, and the intra-articular fracture lines are concentrated on the superior and middle thirds of the joint surface.

Summary: Periprosthetic acetabular fractures during total hip arthroplasty (THA) were evaluated and found to have an incidence of 17.2%. These fractures predominantly occurred at the superolateral wall of the acetabulum, and early cup migration was identified as a complication. Rheumatoid arthritis was a significant predictor for periprosthetic acetabular fractures.

Summary: Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is advantageous for peripheral vascular imaging due to its sensitivity to hemoglobin. However, limitations in scanning techniques have hindered its clinical applications. This study presents an automatic force-controlled 3D PA imaging system, which is the first to achieve real-time force monitoring and control. The results demonstrate the ability of this system to acquire reliable 3D PA images of peripheral blood vessels, providing a powerful tool for future clinical applications.

Summary: Pelvic ring fractures are common in high-energy blunt trauma, especially in traffic accidents. Computed tomography is the gold standard technique for evaluating these injuries, as it can accurately identify fractures, bleeding, and other injuries. A classification criterion is necessary to guide the multidisciplinary management, and the Young and Burgess classification is an accurate method.

Summary: This study systematically examined the impact of roughness on fluid flow properties of fractures by 3D printing fractures with controlled surface roughness. The experiments showed that roughness enhances void space persistence and fluid flow, with rougher fractures exhibiting significant permeability increases. Below 20 micrometers, fracture contact area was found to be a better predictor of permeability than roughness. Such findings are crucial for models predicting fracture flow in the deep subsurface.

Summary: This study evaluated the balance between image quality and radiation dose in cone-beam CT scans of the wrist and elbow, finding that full-dose, low-dose, and ultra-low-dose scans were suitable for diagnostic use. The use of sharper convolution kernels facilitated superior display of bone microarchitecture.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of pelvic arteriography in patients with pelvic ring fractures and associated large hematomas, in both cases of positive or negative findings of contrast agent extravasation at emergency CT; in those patients with positive DSA subsequently treated with embolization, correlations with clinical-radiological parameters were investigated. Overall, the study found that pelvic arteriography can be a useful tool in diagnosing arterial hemorrhage in patients with pelvic ring fractures and concomitant large hematomas, even if CT findings are negative. Rating: 7/10.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of a three-material decomposition (TMD) approach for detecting traumatic bone marrow edema (BME) of the extremities on spectral computed tomography (SCT). The TMD application to visualize BME was developed in collaboration with Philips Healthcare. The results showed that the TMD approach provides high diagnostic performance for detecting BME of the extremities, making it suitable for routine use in the emergency setting.

Summary: An in-house dual-modality XFT and XCT system was developed to quantify iodine contrast distribution through the whole tumor volume ex vivo. The vasculature distribution was reflected by the iodine perfusion, which was validated with histology. This technique may open a new, to the best of our knowledge, route to the non-destructive three-dimensional-imaging-based histological analysis of tumor samples.

Summary: An improved 3D CycleGAN method was used to generate pseudo-CT images, with the imaging quality improved by adding a gradient loss function. The model was validated through fivefold cross-validation, demonstrating the accuracy of the pseudo-CT images in terms of electronic density and anatomical structure.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed patients with trochanteric fractures who underwent cephalomedullary nailing (CMN) fixation. It found that the incidence of intraoperative fractures (IF) was 11.8%, with inadequate reduction on the anteroposterior view being the only independent risk factor. Patients with IF had no reoperations but were less likely to regain independent mobility compared to those without IF.

Summary: The study validated the reduction criteria in intraoperative cone beam CT applied to unstable syndesmotic injuries by analyzing the clinical outcome. Patients were grouped postoperatively according to the radiological reduction criteria in the intraoperative 3D images. Anatomic reduction of acute unstable syndesmotic injury significantly improved the clinical outcome for patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the potential of intraoperative computed tomography (iCT) in the surgical treatment of sacroiliac (SI) injuries. The results showed that iCT outperformed CBCT and 2D fluoroscopy in terms of image quality and surgical time, allowing for more accurate assessment of fracture reduction and implant placement. The rate of postoperative complications was lower with iCT, demonstrating significant advantages over traditional imaging techniques.
