Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the influence of three Implant Scan Bodies (ISBs), four intraoral scanners (IOSs), and two scan strategies on the trueness of complete arch implant scans.
Methods: A reference digital cast of an all-on-six maxillary rehabilitation was obtained using a coordinate measuring machine. Three ISBs - AQ (ISB-AQ), One-shot, Elos (ISB-PEEK) - four IOSs - Trios3POD (TRIOS), Medit i700 (MED), iTero Element 5D (iTe), Primescan (PRIME) - and two scan strategies - Zig-zag (ZZ), One-shot (OS) - were used for evaluation. For each group created by the combination of the different variables, 10 digital scans were taken by one operator (n = 240) under controlled temperature and lighting conditions. The positions of the ISB connections were compared to the standard tessellation language reference file by using the nurbs-to-nurbs method. The overall 3D linear and angular deviations of the ISBs connections between reference and test scans were evaluated by computing the Euler distances (α=0.05). Interimplant distance discrepancies were calculated at the ISB connection level. Scanning times were recorded.
Results: Regarding linear and angular deviations, AQ had significantly higher trueness than the other ISBs (p < 0.01). TRIOS showed significantly higher trueness (p < 0.01). No significant differences for scan strategies were found (p > 0.05). ISB-OneSh, Primescan and ZZ method resulted in significant shortest scanning times (p<<0.01).
Conclusions: ISB-AQ demonstrated higher trueness than One-Shot and PEEK. TRIOS performed better than the other IOSs. Scan strategy didn't influence the trueness. ISB-OneSh, Primescan, and ZZ strategy allowed the fastest scans.
Clinical Significance: The choice of ISB and IOS significantly affects the accuracy of complete-arch implant scans. The scan strategy did not impact trueness but influenced the efficiency. As an in vitro study, results observed need confirmation in the clinical settings.

Introduction: We developed and validated age-related amyloid beta (Aβ) positron emission tomography (PET) trajectories using a statistical model in cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals.
Methods: We analyzed 849 CU Korean and 521 CU non-Hispanic White (NHW) participants after propensity score matching. Aβ PET trajectories were modeled using the generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS) based on baseline data and validated with longitudinal data.

Unlabelled: Pancreatic signet ring cell carcinoma (PSRCC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of pancreatic cancer with a dismal prognosis. We present the case of a 50-year-old male who, within six weeks, developed a pancreatic mass with liver metastases. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed PSRCC.

Background: Dose-driven continuous scanning (DDCS) enhances the efficiency and precision of proton pencil beam delivery by reducing beam pauses inherent in discrete spot scanning (DSS). However, current DDCS optimization studies using traveling salesman problem (TSP) formulations often rely on fixed beam intensity and computationally expensive interpolation for move spot generation, limiting efficiency and methodological robustness.
Purpose: This study introduces a Break Spot-Guided (BSG) method, combined with two acceleration strategies-dose rate skipping and bounding-to optimize beam intensity while minimizing beam delivery time (BDT).

Objectives: Recommendations regarding the use of third-trimester ultrasound lack universal consensus. Yet, there is evidence which supports its value in assessing fetal growth, fetal well-being, and a number of pregnancy-related complications. This literature review evaluates the available scientific evidence regarding its applications, usefulness, and the timing of the third-trimester scan in a low-risk population.

Aims: This review summarizes the role and future prospects of nuclear medicine in ovarian cancer, focusing on novel radiopharmaceuticals beyond FDG for diagnostic, predictive, and therapeutic applications within a theranostic framework.
Materials And Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using major databases. Peer-reviewed articles addressing non-FDG radiopharmaceuticals in ovarian cancer were identified and assessed; FDG-based studies were excluded due to the availability of prior comprehensive reviews.
