Total Hip Arthroplasty Templating: A Simple Method to Correct for Radiograph Magnification.
Orthopedics
|March 13, 2019
Summary
Magnification errors in surgical templating can be corrected using a simple factor derived from preoperative radiographs. This method accounts for parallax and distance, improving surgical accuracy.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Medical imaging
- Radiography
Background:
- Surgical templating relies on preoperative radiographs to plan procedures.
- Magnification errors, caused by factors like parallax and distance, can compromise accuracy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate magnification errors in radiographic templating.
- To develop a correction method for these errors.
Main Methods:
- Steel balls were radiographed at varying distances from the X-ray beam and table.
- Magnification was assessed by comparing ball sizes and positions.
Main Results:
- Distance from the X-ray table caused up to 25% magnification.
- Parallax and printing had minimal impact on accuracy compared to distance.
Conclusions:
- A straightforward correction factor, calculated from preoperative radiographs, can adjust for magnification errors.
- This method enhances the accuracy of surgical planning and execution.

27.7K
Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...

To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

01:20Power Factor Correction
528
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

01:14NMR Spectrometers: Resolution and Error Correction
1.1K
When magnetic nuclei in a sample achieve resonance and undergo relaxation, the signal detected in NMR is an approximately exponential free induction decay. Fourier transform of an exponential decay yields a Lorentzian peak in the frequency domain. Lorentzian peaks in an NMR spectrum are defined by their amplitude, full width at half maximum, and position, where the peak width is governed by the spin-spin relaxation time alone. In real experiments, however, the applied magnetic field is rendered...

A simple pendulum consists of a small diameter ball suspended from a string, which has negligible mass but is strong enough to not stretch. In our daily life, pendulums have many uses, such as in clocks, on a swing set, and on a sinker on a fishing line.
The period of a simple pendulum depends on two factors: its length and the acceleration due to gravity. The period is completely independent of any other factors, such as mass or maximum displacement. For small displacements, a pendulum is...
