<h3>Objective</h3> In ovarian cancer, detection of sentinel nodes is an upcoming procedure. Perioperative determination the patient’s node(s) might prevent a radical lymphadenectomy and associated morbidity. It essential to understand lymphatic drainage pathways ovaries, which are surprisingly up till now poorly investigated, predict anatomical regions where can be found. We aimed describe human ovaries including their compartmental fascia borders. <h3>Methods</h3> A series 3 female fetuses...

Uterine cervical cancer (CC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide. Whole-volume radiomic profiling from pelvic MRI may yield prognostic markers for tailoring treatment in CC. However, relies on manual tumor segmentation which unfeasible clinic. We present a fully automatic method 3D of primary CC lesions using state-of-the-art deep learning (DL) techniques. In 131 patients, was manually segmented T2-weighted by two radiologists (R1, R2). Patients were separated into...

Abstract Background Effective diagnostic tools for prompt identification of high-risk locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients are needed to facilitate early, individualized treatment. The aim this work was assess temporal changes in tumor radiomics (delta radiomics) from T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) during concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) LACC patients, and their association with progression-free survival (PFS). Furthermore, develop, validate, compare delta- pretreatment radiomic...

Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) are two vascular diseases with a significant risk of major adverse cardiovascular events mortality. A challenge in current management is the unpredictable progression individual patients. The VASCUL-AID-RETRO study aims to develop trustworthy multimodal predictive artificial intelligence (AI) models for multiple tasks including stratification patients AAA PAD. Methods: will collect data from 5000 6000 PAD...

Due to the intricate relationship between pelvic organs and vital structures, such as vessels nerves, anatomy is often considered be complex comprehend. In oncological surgery, a trade-off has made complete tumor resection preserving function by preventing damage nerves. Damage autonomic nerves causes undesirable post-operative side-effects fecal urinal incontinence, well sexual dysfunction in up 80 percent of cases. Since these are not visible pre-operative MRI scans or during avoiding...

High-fidelity anatomical models can be produced with three-dimensional (3D) scanning techniques and as such digitally preserved, archived, subsequently rendered through various media. Here, a novel methodology-digital body preservation-is presented for combining matching scan geometry radiographic imaging. The technique encompasses joining layers of 3D surface scans in an correct spatial relationship. To do so, computed tomography (CT) volume is used template to join merge different...
