A standardized and reproducible pipeline for fast multi-view digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) generation

Abstract Digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) are synthetic projections derived from computed tomography (CT) data and are increasingly used in 3D synthetic image generation. However, variability in preprocessing and projection frameworks limits reproducibility and comparab...

Surgical Site Infections After External Ventricular Drain Placement: Incidence, Patient-Related, and Periprocedural Risk Factors.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is a routine neurosurgical procedure for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion. Despite standardized procedures, a considerable risk of infection remains. While CSF EVD-related infections (EVD-RI) are common and...
