1. Ultrasound measurement of cervical length in the second trimester of pregnancy for prediction of preterm delivery
Sammanfattning : Abstract Background: Short cervical length is a risk factor for preterm delivery (PTD) and screening of cervical length using transvaginal ultrasound in the second trimester is a proposed method to find women at risk Aims: To examine the potential value of routine measurement of cervical length in a Swedish population of women with singleton pregnancies in the prediction of PTD. To estimate inter- and intra-observer agreement and reliability of cervical length measurements. LÄS MER
2. Optimization of paediatric CT examinations - An approach to minimize absorbed dose to patients with regard to image quality and observer variability
Sammanfattning : The absorbed dose to paediatric patients is important bearing in mind the increased risk of radiation-induced cancer due to exposure to X-rays at young ages. Questions have also been raised of whether a CT examination of the paediatric brain might lead to a reduction in cognitive function. LÄS MER
3. Radiographic follow-up analysis of Br?nemark? dental implants
Sammanfattning : Radiography plays an important role in clinical routine practice and in research projects evaluating dental implants, among them Br?nemark? System. Presence of a peri-implant radiolucency has been used in studies as a criterion for implant failure without knowledge of its diagnostic accuracy. LÄS MER
4. Degenerative changes of the human temporomandibular joint : A radiological, microscopical, histomorphometrical and biochemical study
Sammanfattning : In five autopsy specimen studies human temporomandibular joints were investigated by conventional tomography, macroscopy, and microscopy for degenerative changes, in particular erosive hard-tissue changes.In the microscopical evaluation special attention was paid to the calcified cartilage.

5. Imaging of hip trauma - occult, suspect and concomitant fractures
Sammanfattning : Background: Between one and nine percent of all hip fractures are occult or suspect and further examinations with computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are vital for further handling. Statistically robust conclusions have not been previously reported. LÄS MER
