Article Title: Virtual mapping of 260 three-dimensional hemipelvises to analyse gender-specific differences in minimally invasive retrograde lag screw placement in the posterior acetabular column using the anterior pelvic and midsagittal plane as reference

doi: 10.1186/s12891-015-0697-9

Figure Lengend Snippet: a : Screw trajectory (yellow) in 3D view. b : Posterior column screw trajectory (yellow line) and parallel to anterior pelvic plane (vertical blue line) in sagittal section forming the angle measured with embedded software module. c : Posterior column screw trajectory (yellow line) and parallel plane to midsagittal pelvic plane (vertical blue line) in coronal section forming the angle measured with embedded software module. d : Posterior column screw trajectory (yellow line) and parallel plane to midsagittal plane (vertical blue line) in axial section forming the angle measured with embedded software module

Article Snippet: The advantage of this method used in the present work is the fact, that all screws were virtually planned using advanced 3D planning software which is used in daily clinical routine, especially in neuro—and craniofacial surgery (iPlan® CMF 3.0, BrainLAB AG, Feldkirchen, Germany).

Article Title: Clinical impact of tricuspid regurgitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction

doi: 10.1002/ehf2.15375

Figure Lengend Snippet: The severity of tricuspid regurgitation was semi‐quantified by the average vena contracta width on parasternal right ventricular inflow and apical four‐chamber views with colour Doppler images. Three‐dimensional full‐volume data were transferred to personal computers for offline analysis. QLAB15 3D Quantification Advanced software was used for left ventricular and left atrial volume analysis. 4D RV‐Function 2.0 software was used for right ventricular volume analysis. LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle; TR, tricuspid regurgitation; 3D, three‐dimensional.

Article Snippet: All volumetric images were transferred to personal computers for offline analysis using QLAB15 3D Quantification Advanced software (Philips Medical Systems) and 4D RV‐Function 2.0 software (TomTec Imaging Systems).

Article Title: Polymerization Shrinkage and Degree of Conversion of New Zirconia-Reinforced Rice Husk Nanohybrid Composite

doi: 10.1055/s-0040-1713951

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Nonpolymerized sample wrapped with waterproof transparent plastic stretch film. ( B ) Thickness of nonpolymerized sample was measured using a digital caliper with accuracy of 0.01 mm to ensure a thin disc about ±1.0 mm. ( C ) Mass in air of nonpolymerized sample weighed using a digital weighing scale. ( D ) Mass in water of nonpolymerized sample weighed in beaker containing 100 mL distilled water using a digital weighing scale. ( E ) Nonpolymerized sample placed on a round plastic disc with diameter of 10 mm and thickness of 2 mm. ( F ) Sample was measured under Hirox 3D Digital microscope using optical method.

Article Snippet: The surface area ( S 1 ) and its thickness ( H 1 ) were traced ( ) and measured by two blinded examiners using Advanced 3D Hirox software for volume and area measurements.
