Abstract Background Patients with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-positive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have aggressive biological behavior and poor prognosis. Therefore, survival time is one of the greatest concerns for patients AFP-positive HCC. This study aimed to demonstrate utilization six machine learning (ML)-based prognostic models predict overall Methods Data on HCC were extracted from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database. Six ML algorithms (extreme gradient boosting...
Berry syndrome is a rare combination of cardiac malformations, which characterized by the following including aortopulmonary window, aortic right pulmonary origin, interrupted arch or hypoplastic coarctation aorta, and an intact ventricular septum. There are few reviews on prenatal diagnosis fetal echocardiography. We used sequential cross-sectional scanning from apex to bottom heart find arch. This process like opening Chinese scroll painting, picture gradually extends reveal whole picture....
A large percentage of patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) screening do not have esophageal varices (EV) or only small EV. We evaluated a large, international, multicenter cohort to develop novel score, termed FIB-4plus, by combining the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) liver stiffness measurement (LSM), and spleen (SSM) identify high-risk EV (HRV) in compensated cirrhosis. This international study involved with cirrhosis from 17 Chinese hospitals one Croatian institution (NCT04546360)....
Abstract Background To develop a model based on intra- and peritumoral radiomics features derived from B-mode ultrasound (BMUS), strain elastography (SE), shear wave (SWE) for cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) prediction in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) to determine the optimal size. Methods PTC Patients were enrolled two medical centers. Radiomics extracted intratumoral four regions with widths of 0.5–2.0 mm tri-modality (US) images. Boruta algorithm XGBoost classifier used selection...
Objectives This study aimed to explore the performance of a model based on Chinese Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (C-TIRADS), clinical characteristics, other ultrasound characteristics for prediction Bethesda III/IV thyroid nodules before fine needle aspiration (FNA). Materials methods A total 855 from 810 patients were included. All underwent examination FNA. categorized according C-TIRADS criteria classified into two groups, non-III/IV nodules, using cytologic diagnosis as gold...
Abstract Predicting low nuclear grade DCIS before surgery can improve treatment choices and patient care, thereby reducing unnecessary treatment. Due to the high heterogeneity of limitations biopsies in fully characterizing tumors, current diagnostic methods relying on invasive face challenges. Here, we developed an ensemble machine learning model assist preoperative diagnosis DCIS. We integrated clinical data, ultrasound images, mammography Radiomic scores from 241 cases. The model, based...
ObjectivesWhile several indicators have been studied, the association of body roundness index (BRI) with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains unclear. We aimed to explore between BRI and ultrasound-defined NAFLD.MethodsThe sample dataset was extracted from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during period 2017–2018. The diagnosis NAFLD determined based on controlled attenuated parameter (CAP≥248 dB/m) score ultrasound transient elastography (LUTE). Participants...
Introduction: To explore whether ultrasonic radiomics extracted by machine learning method can noninvasively evaluate lupus nephritis (LN) activity. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 149 patients with LN diagnosed renal biopsy. They were divided into a training cohort (n=104) test (n=45). Ultrasonic features from the ultrasound images, constructed. Furthermore, five algorithms compared to The performance of binary classification model was evaluated area under receiver...
Coherent plane-wave compounding (CPWC) is an effective method to improve the image quality of ultrasound imaging (PWI), which coherently sums delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming outputs PWI at different steering angles. However, due data-independent nature, DAS obtains limited resolution and contrast. Therefore, various adaptive methods have been presented achieve improved quality. In this paper, weighting factor named normalized autocorrelation (NAF), derived by function (NACF), proposed for...
Distinguishing the degree of differentiation, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has important clinical significance in therapeutic decision-making and patient prognosis evaluation.We developed a deep-learning radiomics (DLR) model based on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to evaluate differentiation HCC noninvasive. We retrospectively analyzed patients who had undergone resection CEUS one week preoperatively between November 2015 August 2022. Enrolled were randomly divided into training...
Abstract Background In terms of embryonic origin, vascular ring is a congenital anomaly in which the aortic arch and its branches completely or incompletely encircle compress trachea esophagus. Early accurate diagnosis key to treatment. Prenatal mainly relies on fetal echocardiography, but rate missed misdiagnosis still very high, prognosis has not been evaluated. The aim this study was investigate accuracy prenatal evaluate semi-quantitatively according shape distance between vessel...
Abstract Testicular microcirculation is closely related to spermatogenic function and seminiferous tubular function. The diagnosis monitoring of testicular diseases can be associated with microcirculation; however, there are currently no effective non‐invasive methods for super‐resolution imaging microcirculation. In this study, we introduced state‐of‐the‐art graph‐based tracking the Kalman motion model algorithm non‐invasively image human first time a regular frame‐rate clinical ultrasound...
Objective This paper aims to investigate clinical value of intrahepatic and intra-stent hemodynamic changes after transjugular portosystemic shunt (TIPS), by using color Doppler ultrasound during the diagnosis hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis.Methods A retrospective analysis cirrhotic portal hypertension, who underwent TIPS The First Affiliated Hospital Anhui Medical University from January 2018 2021, was conducted. 22 developed HE within 3 months comprised...
Background: Breast cancer is the most common tumor globally.Automated Volume Scanner (ABVS) and strain elastography (SE) can provide more useful breast information.The use of radiomics combined with ABVS SE images to predict has become a new focus.Therefore, this study developed validated analysis lesions in combination coronal plane improve differential diagnosis benign malignant diseases.Patients Methods: 620 pathologically confirmed from January 2017 August 2021 were retrospectively...
