Background An artificial intelligence model that assesses primary bone tumors on radiographs may assist in the diagnostic workflow. Purpose To develop a multitask deep learning (DL) for simultaneous bounding box placement, segmentation, and classification of radiographs. Materials Methods This retrospective study analyzed acquired prior to treatment obtained from patient data January 2000 June 2020. Benign or malignant were diagnosed all patients by using histopathologic findings as...
Background A multitask deep learning model might be useful in large epidemiologic studies wherein detailed structural assessment of osteoarthritis still relies on expert radiologists' readings. The potential such a clinical routine should investigated. Purpose To develop for grading radiographic hip features radiographs and compare its performance to that attending-level radiologists.

Axial T2-w, coronal T1-w, and coronal/sagittal intermediate-w scans with fat saturation acquired using only (12:44 min, CS), CSAI an acceleration factor 4.6-5.3 (6:45 CSAI2x), 6.9-7.7 (4:46 CSAI3x). Moreover, high-resolution axial T2-w scan was obtained similar duration compared CS. Depiction presence abnormalities graded. Signal-to-noise...
Objective To identify joint structural risk factors, measured using quantitative compositional and semiquantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring, associated with the development of accelerated knee osteoarthritis (AKOA) compared a more normal rate (OA) development.

Background: In patients with soft-tissue sarcomas of the extremities, treatment decision is currently regularly based on tumor grading and size. The imaging-based analysis may pose an alternative way to stratify patients’ risk. this work, we compared value MRI-based radiomics expert-derived semantic imaging features for prediction overall survival (OS). Methods: Fat-saturated T2-weighted sequences (T2FS) contrast-enhanced T1-weighted fat-saturated (T1FSGd) were collected from two independent...
To develop and validate machine learning models to distinguish between benign malignant bone lesions compare the performance radiologists.In 880 patients (age 33.1 ± 19.4 years, 395 women) diagnosed with (n = 213, 24.2%) or 667, 75.8%) primary tumors, preoperative radiographs were obtained, diagnosis was established using histopathology. Data split 70%/15%/15% for training, validation, internal testing. Additionally, 96 from another institution obtained external Machine developed validated...
Background Differentiating between benign and malignant vertebral fractures poses diagnostic challenges. Purpose To investigate the reliability of CT-based deep learning models to differentiate fractures. Materials Methods CT scans acquired in patients with or from June 2005 December 2022 at two university hospitals were retrospectively identified based on a composite reference standard that included histopathologic radiologic information. An internal test set was randomly selected, an...
Abstract Background A deep learning (DL) model that automatically detects cardiac pathologies on MRI may help streamline the diagnostic workflow. To develop a DL to detect T1-mapping and late gadolinium phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) sequences were used. Methods Subjects in this study either diagnosed with pathology ( n = 137) including acute chronic myocardial infarction, myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or classified as normal 63). Cardiac MR...
ObjectiveTo determine if presence of calcium-containing crystals (CaC) is associated with increased knee joint degeneration over 4 years and assess total number CaCs deposited a useful measure disease burden.DesignSeventy subjects in right knees at baseline were selected from the Osteoarthritis Initiative matched to 70 without evidence CaCs. T1-weighted gradient-echo sequences used confirm count numbers distinct circumscribed Morphological abnormalities assessed 4-year follow-up using...
The extent of medial meniscal extrusion (MME) that is associated with structural and symptomatic progression knee osteoarthritis has not been defined yet.
Though cognitive function is proven to be an independent predictor of survival in patients with intrinsic brain tumors, functions are still rarely considered. Aim this study was assess neurocognitive and identify risk factors for deficits. 103 primary neuroepithelial tumors who received tumor resections or biopsies were included prospective study. The following data acquired: mini-mental state examination, preoperative volume, WHO grade, entity location, the Karnofsky performance status...
The aim of this study was to develop and validate radiogenomic models predict the MDM2 gene amplification status differentiate between ALTs lipomas on preoperative MR images.MR images were obtained in 257 patients diagnosed with (n = 65) or 192) using histology analysis as a reference standard. protocols included T2-, T1-, fat-suppressed contrast-enhanced T1-weighted sequences. Additionally, 50 from different hospital for external testing. Radiomic features selected mRMR. Using repeated...
Metabolic disorders presenting in HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) may increase the risk of osteoarthritis.
