Bone density prediction via CT scans to estimate T-scores is crucial, providing a more precise assessment of bone health compared traditional methods like X-ray tests, which lack spatial resolution and the ability detect localized changes. However, CT-based faces two major challenges: high computational complexity transformer-based architectures, limits their deployment in portable clinical settings, imbalanced, long-tailed distribution real-world hospital data that skews predictions. To...
Abstract Background Deep learning (DL) algorithms are playing an increasing role in automatic medical image analysis. Purpose To evaluate the performance of a DL model for detection intracranial haemorrhage and its subtypes on non-contrast CT (NCCT) head studies to compare effects various preprocessing design implementations. Methods The algorithm was trained externally validated open-source, multi-centre retrospective data containing radiologist-annotated NCCT studies. training dataset...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis. Accurate preoperative assessment using computed tomography (CT) to determine resectability crucial in ensuring patients are offered the most appropriate therapeutic strategy. Despite use of classification guidelines, any interobserver variability between reviewing surgeons and radiologists may confound decisions influencing patient treatment pathways.
Background/Aims: Assessment of quality magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) in small bowel Crohn’s disease (CD) activity evaluation has received little attention. We assessed the impact distention and motion artifact on MRE indices ileal CD.Methods: A cohort patients who underwent contemporaneous colonoscopy for CD assessment between 2014 2021 at 2 centers were audited. An abdominal radiologist blinded to clinical data reviewed each MRE, graded upon a pre-specified 3-point scale calculated...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly prevalent in people with diabetes no available treatment.To explore the effect of testosterone treatment on liver. Testosterone therapy improves insulin resistance and reduces total body fat, but its impact remains poorly studied.This secondary analysis a 40 wk, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial intramuscular undecanoate men type 2 lowered serum concentrations evaluated change hepatic steatosis as measured by fat fraction...
Abstract Introduction Hepatic steatosis is a common incidental finding on computed tomography ( CT ) in patients presenting to the emergency department ED ). The aims of our study were assess prevalence hepatic with suspected renal colic and documentation radiology reports medical charts correlated alanine transaminase ALT levels. Methods Over 18 months from January 2016 June 2017, all unenhanced s performed for reviewed. Quantitative assessment measuring splenic attenuation Hounsfield Units...
Liver transplantation (LT) is a potentially curative therapy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC-recurrence following LT associated reduced survival. There increasing interest in chemoprophylaxis to improve HCC-related outcomes post-LT.
To assess the application of American College Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR-TIRADS) guidelines potential reduction unnecessary fine-needle aspirate (FNA) cost savings through examination cytopathological correlation.All ultrasound-guided thyroid FNA performed between December 2017 July 2019 at our institution were included in this study. Prior to performing each FNA, nodules scored according ACR-TIRADS criteria with subsequent cytology Bethesda criteria. request...
Abstract Background Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) have a high likelihood of being sarcopenic. Several studies shown positive correlation between sarcopenia measured as skeletal muscle index (SMI) and poor surgical outcomes in patients CD. Our primary aim was to correlate SMI the psoas (PMI), an easier measurement sarcopenia. Secondary PMI clinical cohort CD requiring surgery. Methods A retrospective study who underwent surgery at public health service from January 2010 December 2019....
To meet the growing demand for interventional radiology (IR), more hospitals are investing in state-of-the-art angiography suites, but these expensive investments. Both initial construction cost and ongoing operational costs significant. For health services, it is important to commission an suite that can satisfy both present future healthcare demands maximize value of expenditure opportunities provided by this investment. Smart suites (SAS) could be solution future-proof services. Similar...
To the editor, Muscle wasting carries important prognostic value in patients with chronic liver disease.[1] Abdominal computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging taken at third lumbar vertebrae (L3) is generally considered gold standard modality to estimate muscle mass cirrhosis.[2] It has advantages over other methods used measure cirrhosis such as dual energy x‐ray absorptiometry it not influenced by peripheral fluid retention.[3] However, barriers including cost and access...
The purpose of this study was to review the value bone scans (BS) in assessment metastases from early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients assessed or waiting for liver transplant (LTx).We reviewed BS studies performed at our center with HCC either being LTx, on list January 2010 May 2017. findings were classified as positive, equivocal, negative. Correlation final outcome based clinical and radiological follow-up performed.There 360 186 during period a mean age 58.7 years (range,...
