Using the method presented in this work, LAR of cancer incidence and cancer mortality for a single chest CT for PE seems very low for all age groups and both sexes, but being highest for young patients. Hence the risk for radiation-induced organ cancers must be outweighed with the potential benefit or a treatment and the potential risks of a missed and therefore untreated PE.

Obturator hernias are a rare form of abdominal wall hernias. We present a case of a patient with an obturator hernia diagnosed by the classical signs of lower abdominal pain, a positive Howship–Romberg sign (painful internal rotation of the hip) and a computed tomography scan showing a herniated loop of small bowel. During the emergency laparoscopic hernia repair (transabdominal preperitoneal approach) a variant vessel, the corona mortis, was detected.

• Tibial Bowing is diagnosed on conventional radiographs. • Existing Methods provide limited level of confidence. • New methods provide easy to assess landmarks in all patient ages. • Existing methods require higher radiation dose compared to new method presented.
