A CT database for research, development and education: concept and potential.

Both in radiology and in surgery, numerous applications are emerging that enable 3D visualization of data from various imaging modalities. In clinical practice, the patient's images are analyzed on work stations in the Radiology Department. For specific preclinical and educational applications, however, data from single patients are insufficient. Instead, similar scans from a number of individuals within a collective must be compiled. The definition of standardized acquisition procedures and archiving formats are prerequisite for subsequent analysis of multiple data sets. Focusing on bone morphology, we describe our concept of a computer database of 3D human bone models obtained from computed tomography (CT) scans. We further discuss and illustrate deployment areas ranging from prosthesis design, over virtual operation simulation up to 3D anatomy atlases. The database of 3D bone models described in this work, created and maintained by the AO Development Institute, may be accessible to research institutes on request.

Limitations of bone harvesting from organ donors in Poland.

The demand for organ transplantations greatly exceeds the number of organ donors (OD) and it is likely that this discrepancy will continue. There is a continuously growing demand for biostatic allogenic bone transplantation mostly for orthopedic reconstructions. The bone material is predominantly harvested during postmortem examinations in forensic medicine departments. The collected amounts are not enough so the material need to be acquired from other sources. Bone collecting from OD seems to be the optimal solution. Between January 2000 and December 2005, 1,883 out of 2,601 organ donors fulfilled the criteria for bone donation, but only 42 bone harvesting (BH) were performed being only 2.22% of all suitable cases. The main reasons for so few bone procurements were: lack of acceptance of bone procurement by relevant part of donors' families, insufficient cooperation between tissue banks and transplantation teams, lack of equipment for BH, and no experience in bone procurement.

Correlation between first trimester fetal bone length and maternal serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A).

BACKGROUND: Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) is produced by the embryo and placenta during pregnancy, and its maternal serum concentrations are related to subsequent fetal growth. Evidence from animal models and in vitro experiments suggests that PAPP-A is particularly involved in the regulation of bone development. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between late first trimester fetal bone length and maternal serum levels of PAPP-A. METHODS: In a cross-sectional observational study, ultrasound measurements of fetal long bones and fluorimetric immunoassays for maternal serum PAPP-A were performed in 514 singleton pregnancies at 10-14 weeks of gestation. RESULTS: There were 501 uncomplicated pregnancies. There were significant correlations between PAPP-A values and length of humerus, femur and tibia [r values 0.12 (P = 0.01), 0.11 (P = 0.01) and 0.10 (P = 0.03), respectively]. The association with the length of ulna and foot did not reach statistical significance (r values 0.08 and -0.03, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Maternal serum PAPP-A levels at 10-14 weeks of gestation are significantly associated with the length of fetal long bones such as humerus, femur and tibia. This provides further evidence that PAPP-A may be involved in the regulation of bone development.
