Introduction: The Femoral angle of anteversion (FAA) is responsible for the medial and anterior direction of the femoral neck and therefore the femoral head towards the acetabulum. The aim of this study was to determine the difference in FAA between male and female samples, the correlation between the FAA and biomechanically relevant parameters and to provide a review of relevant clinical features related to FAA. Methods: We included 100 human dry femora and analyzed FAA, Angle of Inclination (AI), Femoral Head Diameter (FHD), Femoral Biomechanical Length (FBL) and Linear Condylar Parameters (Epicondylar Breadth Width (EBW), Lateral Condyle Depth and Medial Condyle Depth). The measurements were made using a goniometer, sliding calipers and pieces of colored string. Results: Mean FAA values were 9.84±7.97° and 8.72±8.23° for the male and female samples, respectively (p

In this paper, we demonstrate a capability of surface coil magnetic resonance imaging in the review of orbital blood vessels anatomy. Surface coil allows a better detection of small anatomic structures including vessels such as ophtalmic artery and its branches, and also orbital veins, particularly superior and inferior ophtalmic veins with accompanying branches. The best results are obtained by the use of T1 sequences with short TE and TR.
