Determination of Cochlear Duct Length With 3D Versus Two-dimensional Methods: A Retrospective Clinical Study of Imaging by Computed Tomography and Co…
2021
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare three different methods for measurement of cochlear duct length (CDL) in the clinical setting for two different imaging modalities, namely computed tomography (CT) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred temporal bone data sets (CT: n=50; CBCT: n=50) of non-malformed cochleae were retrospectively analyzed using three different CDL estimation techniques: 3D curved multiplanar reconstruction (cMPR), 2D cMPR and the A-value formula. RESULTS The data sets belonged to 60 patients (34 males, 26 females; mean age=50.28±18.58 years). For both imaging modalities, application of the 3D cMPR estimation technique led to …
Advanced Protocol for Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography Guidance Implementing Real-Time Multiplanar Reconstruction for Transcatheter…

Transcatheter direct annuloplasty has been introduced as a novel interventional treatment option for severe mitral valve regurgitation. Until now, only one direct annuloplasty device (Edwards Cardioband) has been commercially available, being implanted in more than 250 patients worldwide. Yet this procedure poses greater challenges regarding optimal fluoroscopic and echocardiographic guidance compared with edge-to-edge repair: correct localization and orientation of the anchors upon penetration into the fibrous mitral annulus tissue and the basal left ventricular myocardium are preconditions for an optimal result and essential to avoid damage of the neighboring structures (atrioventricular …
Feasibility of a MPR-based 3DTEE guidance protocol for transcatheter direct mitral valve annuloplasty.
2020
Objectives Several interventional approaches have been established for the treatment of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients at elevated risk for surgery. Direct annuloplasty is a relatively novel option in transcatheter mitral valve repair dedicated to reverse pathology in specific subsets of MR. With regard to echocardiographic guidance, this procedure presents with higher efforts in comparison with edge-to-edge therapy to enable safe and exact positioning of the device's anchors; evidence on optimal peri-interventional imaging is sparse. We tested a specific 3D-echo-guidance protocol implementing single-beat multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) and evaluated its feasibility. Methods …
