June 2024 Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is a prevalent complication among individuals with diabetes, affecting nearly half of this population and significantly impacting foot function and overall quality of life. Recent research led by Emilia M. Kaszyk, Mary Hastings, Mike Muller, and colleagues from the Washington University School of Medicine has utilized advanced imaging techniques... Continue Reading →
Combined evaluation of blood flow and tissue perfusion in diabetic feet by intra-arterial dynamic 4DCT imaging #ActAgainstAmputation #DiabeticFoot #Radiology
Fascinating continued work from our Belgian colleagues. Critical limb ischemia is associated with high mortality and major amputations. Intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (IADSA) has been the reference standard but has some shortcomings including the two-dimensional projection and the lack of tissue perfusion information. The aim of this exploratory study is to examine four-dimensional computed tomography... Continue Reading →
Intraarterial Four-dimensional CT Angiography with Soft Tissue Perfusion Evaluation in Diabetic Feet
Intriguing work from Boonen and Aerden
Preliminary evaluation of dual-energy CT to quantitatively assess bone marrow edema in patients with diabetic foot ulcers and suspected osteomyelitis
Preliminary evaluation of dual‐energy CT to quantitatively assess bone marrow edema in patients with diabetic foot ulcers and suspected osteomyelitis Great work as usual from our Dutch compatriots Objectives The purpose of this study is to evaluate the value of dual-energy CT (DECT) with virtual non-calcium (VNCa) in quantitatively assessing the presence of bone marrow...
