Epidural needle length is crucial for successful and safe administration of epidural anesthesia. The optimal length is determined by factors such as patient BMI, vertebral level, and healthcare professional’s experience. It influences the depth of the epidural space and potential risks like nerve damage or dural puncture. The assessment of patient characteristics, understanding of selection…
Imaging techniques with slices utilize advanced imaging modalities to create two-dimensional cross-sectional images of the body or specific anatomical regions. These slices, known as axial, coronal, and sagittal, allow for detailed visualization and analysis of internal structures. The smallest unit of these images is the voxel, which contains information about tissue composition and properties. Essential…
