OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between quantitative retinal vascular parameters and coronary artery disease (CAD) and to evaluate the efficacy of a retinal phenotype-based diagnostic model as a non-invasive tool for early CAD screening. DESIGN: A retrospective cross-sectional study. SETTING: A single-centre study conducted at the Cardiovascular Center of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capit...
Accurate segmentation of thyroid nodules from ultrasound images is critical for clinical diagnosis and treatment, as manual analysis is labor-intensive and subject to inter-observer variability. However, existing models often struggle with edge detail capture and discriminative representation of nodule regions, limiting their clinical utility. To address these challenges, we propose a contrast-enh...
