𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 (𝗔𝗥) The future of surgery is here, and it's powered by Augmented Reality (AR). Surgeons now have the ability to overlay 3D images of a patient’s anatomy directly onto their field of vision, providing real-time guidance during complex procedures. This cutting-edge technology enhances precision, reduces risks, and ultimately leads to better patient outcomes. Imagine a world where every incision is backed by data-driven insights and every step is visualized with unparalleled clarity. AR isn't just transforming surgery—it's saving lives. #HealthcareInnovation #AugmentedReality #Surgery #FutureOfMedicine #MedicalTechnology

#get to know us The Radiology Interest Group (RIG) Sudan was born out of a shared passion for radiology and a desire to make a difference. Founded by a group of enthusiastic medical students, residents, and radiologists, we started as a small community eager to learn and grow together. Early Days: We kicked off with a few meetings, quickly building a network of members who shared our vision. Formalization: as we grew, we established a formal structure with roles like president, viice president and officers to guide our activities. Expansion: our activities expanded to include comprehensive educational programs, research initiatives, and community outreach projects. Recognition: we gained recognition within the medical community and started playing a more influential role in shaping radiology education and practice in Sudan. Ongoing Development: we're constantly evolving, adapting to new advancements in radiology, and responding to the needs of our members and communities. Wait for more exciting things to come! Together, we'll advance radiology and improve healthcare outcomes across Sudan. 👍🏼🔥 #rigsudan #radiology #sudan

Participating in EM JEOPARDY in ESEM 2024 Dubai. (long post alert⏰️) In the fast-paced world of emergency medicine, we are constantly searching for innovative techniques to improve outcomes during critical resuscitations. One such technique gaining traction is the stellate ganglion block (SGB) as an adjunct for managing refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) during CPR. The stellate ganglion block targets the sympathetic nervous system, reducing adrenergic overdrive—a key driver of arrhythmogenicity in VT. By interrupting this pathway, SGB offers a novel method to stabilize electrical storm cases that do not respond to conventional antiarrhythmic drugs or defibrillation. Emerging evidence from case reports and small series suggests that SGB: 🔹 May reduce the burden of refractory VT episodes 🔹 Could enhance hemodynamic stability 🔹 Is feasible to perform under ultrasound guidance in emergency settings While this technique is not yet routine, its potential impact during resuscitation is undeniable. It underscores the importance of thinking beyond the algorithm and embracing multidisciplinary approaches to critical care. For those in emergency medicine and critical care, the challenge remains: ✅ Familiarize yourself with the indications and techniques for SGB. ✅ Integrate point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) skills to improve procedural success. ✅ Explore the growing literature on sympathetic modulation in cardiac arrest. As we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in resuscitation science, techniques like the stellate ganglion block remind us that innovation often arises from collaboration, curiosity, and courage. Let’s keep learning and saving lives! Have you encountered or used SGB in your practice? I’d love to hear your experiences and thoughts. 💡 #EmergencyMedicine #CriticalCare #ResuscitationScience #VT #InnovationsInMedicine

Happy World Radiography Day 🩻 A moment to honor the vital contributions of radiographers and medical imaging professionals worldwide. These dedicated individuals are integral to modern healthcare, using advanced imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds to diagnose, guide treatment, and improve patient outcomes. Radiographers play an essential role in ensuring that healthcare providers can make accurate, timely decisions that save lives and enhance the quality of care. Their expertise often goes unnoticed, but their work is at the heart of every successful diagnosis and treatment plan. As we mark this day, we also acknowledge the global network of radiological societies that support the profession, promote education, and advocate for the advancement of medical imaging. From the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, INMOL Cancer Hospital, Lahore, Aga Khan University, Punjab Medical College-Faisalabad Medical University, Allied Hospital, Faisalabad., Aziz Fatimah Medical And Dental College Faisalabad, European Society of Radiology, EACCME® - European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, The European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research (EIBIR), Guerbet, ARRS (American Roentgen Ray Society), Indian Radiological & Imaging Association, Saudi Interventional Radiology Society, Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy, Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), & Applied Radiology — demonstrate the global importance of this profession in improving healthcare. #WorldRadiographyDay #Radiology #MedicalImaging #HealthcareHeroes #Radiographers #PatientCare

As a Special Procedure Technologist I in Vascular and Interventional Radiology after starting as a Radiology Technologist II, my journey has been a testament to dedication, growth, and relentless pursuit of excellence. The transition to a highly specialized field like vascular and interventional radiology was not just a result of advanced training, but of hard work, resilience, and a passion for pushing the boundaries of my profession. Working in #KSA offered me the opportunity to apply my skills in a demanding healthcare environment, where I had to continuously evolve to meet the highest standards of care. It was a role I earned through perseverance and deep responsibility toward patient care. #Migration is not a crime. It’s a journey that allows professionals like myself to contribute, grow, and make meaningful impacts in global healthcare settings. Migration is also about recognizing the inherent #dignity and worth of every person, regardless of their background or origin. @interRadiologia 🖖🏽☢️ #MigrationIsNotACrime #VascularRadiology #RadiologíaVascular #InterventionalRadiology #RadiologíaIntervencionista #Radiology #Radiología #TSID #TécnicoDeRadiología #TécnicoDeRadioterapia #Radiotherapist #RadiographerLife #BeRAD #HealthcareInnovation #GlobalHealthcare #RadiologyJourney Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs (MNGHA) Saudi Interventional Radiology Society

The proposed PPG2RespNet draws inspiration from the UNet and UNet++ models. It uses three publicly available PPG datasets (VORTAL, BIDMC, Capnobase) to extract respiratory signals autonomously and efficiently. The datasets contain PPG data from different groups, such as intensive care unit patients, pediatric patients, and healthy subjects. Unlike conventional U-Net architectures, PPG2RespNet introduces layered skip connections, establishing hierarchical and dense connections for robust signal extraction. The bottleneck layer of the model is also modified to enhance the extraction of latent features. To evaluate PPG2RespNet's performance, we assessed its ability to reconstruct respiratory signals and estimate respiration rates. The model outperformed other models in signal-to-signal synthesis, achieving exceptional Pearson correlation coefficients (PCCs) with ground truth respiratory signals: 0.94 for BIDMC, 0.95 for VORTAL, and 0.96 for Capnobase. With mean absolute errors (MAE) of 0.69, 0.58, and 0.11 for the respective datasets, the model exhibited remarkable precision in estimating respiration rates. We used regression and Bland-Altman plots to analyze the predictions of the model in comparison to the ground truth. PPG2RespNet can thus obtain high-quality respiratory My sincere thanks go out to my close collaborator, Muhammad E. H. Chowdhury, Ph.D. from Qatar University, as well as the other authors for their support, tireless efforts, and hard work toward this publication in a highly regarded medical journal. I would like to thank the team for the successful attempt. Hope to see the online version soon...
