This article describes the generation of an orthotopic mouse model of human pleural mesothelioma by implantation of H2052/484 mesothelioma cells into the pleural cavity of immunocompromised athymic mice. The longitudinal monitoring of the development of intrapleural tumors was assessed by non-invasive multimodal [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography imaging.

A method for implanting electrodes into the subthalamic nucleus (STN) of rats is described. Better localization of the STN was achieved by using a microrecording system. Furthermore, a stimulation set-up is presented that is characterized by long-lasting connections between the head of the animal and the stimulator.
FAQs
CT-guided implant placement depends on converting cross-sectional X-ray data into a three-dimensional anatomical model. The reconstruction lets clinicians examine the planned region spatially rather than relying on a single view. That added perspective supports selection of an insertion site and helps align instruments with a trajectory that fits the available anatomy.
Surrounding anatomy acts as a constraint on both the insertion site and instrument path. Clinicians can assess bone, nerves, blood vessels, and other tissues before positioning the implant. This biological information helps the planned trajectory respect nearby structures, which is especially important when the implant must be placed within a confined anatomical region.
Instrument alignment connects the preprocedural plan with the physical placement of the implant. When instruments follow the selected trajectory, clinicians can position the implant more consistently within the intended anatomical area. This relationship between imaging, anatomy, and movement helps reduce avoidable tissue disruption and supports a more predictable procedural result.
Biology provides the anatomical context that determines whether a proposed implant location is suitable. CT-based assessment allows clinicians to consider the arrangement of bone, nerves, blood vessels, and other surrounding tissues before insertion. In this way, the technique links structural anatomy with procedural decisions rather than treating implant placement as an isolated mechanical task.
The workflow begins with CT acquisition, followed by reconstruction of cross-sectional images into a three-dimensional view. Clinicians then assess the relevant anatomy, select an insertion site, and establish the intended instrument trajectory. The implant is positioned using that plan, while the surrounding biological structures remain central to the procedural strategy.
The central imaging element is computed tomography, which supplies cross-sectional X-ray images for three-dimensional reconstruction. The procedural elements include a selected insertion site, a planned trajectory, and instruments aligned with that path. Together, these components connect anatomical visualization to the physical positioning of the implant within the targeted structure.
The technique is relevant to dental and orthopedic procedures in which implant position must account for nearby biological structures. By supporting anatomical assessment and trajectory planning, it can improve placement consistency, reduce avoidable tissue disruption, and contribute to safer, more predictable outcomes. Its value is greatest when precise positioning within bone or other anatomical regions matters.
