Identification of the Preferred Interventional Approach to Trigeminal Ganglion Using Three-Dimensional Reconstruction Stereoscopic Model

Review Data

Purpose and Significance of Study: This study attempts to determine the preferred interventional approach to the trigeminal ganglion or foramen ovale using a 3D reconstruction stereoscopic model, unlike the commonly used 2D tools which limit the learner’s grasp.

Fit with Scope of Journal: The manuscript is of very high interest for the journal Radiology and Medical Diagnostic Imaging.

 

o   The manuscript has a few minor errors (already corrected in the galley proof, except the highlighted one, which requires the author’s attention), which are listed below –

 

·       A common error noted is the omission of “the” in many places, e.g., before “Meckel” in the 3^rd sentence in the Introduction, before “V3” in the 5^th sentence of the Introduction, and so on.

The other errors are –

 

In the Title –

·       “Dimential” must be replaced with “Dimensional”.

·       “3” must be replaced with “Three”.

·       “Preferential” must be replaced with “Preferred”.

·       “Measurement of” must be removed as an “Approach” cannot be measured.

 

In the Abstract –

·       In the 1^st sentence, “has been used as one” must be replaced with “is a”, and “,” must be inserted after “syndromes”.

·       In the 2^nd sentence, “done” must be replaced with “carried out”, and “lays” must be replaced with “lies” and it must instead be inserted after “ganglion”.

·       The 4^th sentence is a fragment and does not make sense. Therefore, it must be re-framed.

·       In the 5^th sentence, “relationship” must be replaced with “relationships”, and “complication” must be replaced with “complications”.

·       In the last sentence, “to” after “potentially” must be removed.

In the Introduction –

·       In the 9^th sentence, “trainee” must be replaced with “trainees,”.

·       In the 10^th sentence, “2” must be replaced with “two”.

·       In the last sentence, “in” after “model” must be replaced with “for”, and “clinical” must be replaced with “clinically”.

In the Materials and Methods –

  Under Creating the Needle Trajectories –

·       In the 2^nd sentence, “xy” must be replaced with “XY”.

  Under Visualization and Presentation of 3D Stereoscopic Models –

·       In the last sentence, “as” must be replaced with “the way”.

  Under Image and Statistical Analysis –

·       In the last sentence, “that” must be inserted after “is”, and “of” must be replaced with “in”.

In the Results –

  In the 2^nd paragraph –

·       In the 2^nd sentence, “asterix” must be replaced with “asterisk”.

  In the 3^rd paragraph –

·       In the 5^th sentence, “significant” must be replaced with “significantly”, and “comparing” must be replaced with “compared”.

·       In the 8^th sentence, “the mean area” must be removed for the 2^nd and 3^rd times.

·       In the 11^th sentence, “non-arteries-penetrating” must be replaced with “non-artery-penetrating”.

In the Discussion –

  In the 1^st paragraph –

·       In the 1^st sentence, “stereoscopic…purpose” must be replaced with “the purpose of stereoscopic visualization of different surgical procedures”.

·       In the 3^rd sentence, “researches” must be replaced with “pieces of research”, and “studies of 3D…” must be replaced with “studies on 3D…”.

  In the 2^nd paragraph –

·       In the 3^rd sentence, “that” after “approach” must be replaced with “where”.

·       In the 5^th sentence, “The larger…chance” must be replaced with “Larger the area, the more likely”.

  In the 3^rd paragraph –

·       In the 1^st sentence, “of” must be replaced with “on”.

·       In the 4^th sentence, “du” must be inserted before “Plessis”, and “use” must be replaced with “used”.

·       In the 7^th sentence, “from”, “it” and “that” must be removed at the start, and “to” must be replaced with “in”.

·       In the 8^th sentence, “area” must be replaced with “areas”.

·       In the 10^th sentence, “distance” must be removed.

  In the 4^th paragraph –

·       In the 2^nd sentence, “of” after “difference” must be replaced with “in”.

·       In the last sentence, “a” at the start must be removed.

  In the last paragraph –

·       “scientifically” must instead be placed at the end of the sentence.
