Materials and Methods: Forty patients with pathologically identified liver cirrhosis 40 age/sex‐matched normal controls underwent T1‐, T2‐, T2*‐weighted SWI at 3T. Two radiologists prospectively analyzed all magnetic resonance (MRI) studies. Siderotic detected by each technique were counted for comparison. The conspicuity was assessed using a scale from 1...
Safety data reported from the large-scale clinical trials of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine are extremely limited in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. The vaccination campaign this specific population could be difficult due to uncertainty about adverse events following vaccination. We aimed assessed COVID-19 rate, factors associated unvaccinated status, and cirrhosis.This is a retrospective study Ruijin Hospial (Shanghai, China) on an ongoing prospective cohort designed for...
Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) can characterize biomechanical properties of soft tissue for disease diagnosis and treatment planning. However, complicated wavefields acquired from MRE coupled with noise pose challenges accurate displacement extraction modulus estimation. Using optimization-based Traveling Wave Expansion-based Neural Network (TWENN) estimation, we propose a new pipeline processing images. An objective function Dual Data Consistency (Dual-DC) has been used to ensure...
Abstract Background and objective. Early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is crucial for clinical management. Current studies have reported large HCC detections using automatic algorithms, but there a lack research on small HCCs (sHCCs).

Misdiagnosis hence mistreatment are likely caused due to unfamiliarity clinicians or junior pathologists. We collected relatively large series of CFTs in our institution aiming at further summarizing their clinicopathologic features Chinese patients discussing the diagnosis differential clinical practice. Methods. Clinicopathologic data...
Abstract Measurement the viscoelastic properties is important for studying developmental and pathological behavior of soft biological tissues. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) a non-invasive method in vivo measurement tissue viscoelasticity. As flexible capable testing small samples, indentation has been widely used characterizing Using 2nd-order Prony series dimensional analysis, we analyzed compared model parameters estimated from both MRE.

Three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be acquired with a high spatial resolution flexibility being reformatted into arbitrary planes, but at the cost of reduced signal-to-noise ratio. Deep-learning methods are promising for denoising in MRI. However, existing 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) rely on either multi-channel two-dimensional (2D) network or single-channel limited ability to extract dimensional features. We aim develop deep learning approach based...
