Editorial Commentary: Low-Dose Hip Computed Tomography Sharpens the Saw for Hip Preservation: Can It Cut the Tree?
Abstract:
Computed tomography scans provide excellent visualization of complex hip deformities and assist in the diagnosis and surgical planning of hip preservation surgery. The dose of harmful ionizing radiation can be reduced while preserving reasonable image quality. Low-dose hip computed tomography can be used successfully for preoperative planning. Readers should consider strategies to reduce the radiation dose from computed tomography scans and consider magnetic resonance imaging arthrograms for assessment of cartilage and labral status before hip preservation surgery.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

The Bronchial Tree
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...
