BACKGROUND: Data-based approaches promise to use the information in cardiovascular signals to diagnose cardiovascular diseases. Considerable effort has been undertaken in the field of pulse-wave analysis to harness this information. However, the inve...
PURPOSE: To develop a prospective motion correction (MC) method for phase contrast (PC) MRI of penetrating arteries (PAs) in centrum semiovale at 7 T and to evaluate its performance using automatic PA segmentation.
Microstructural features and mechanical properties are closely related in all soft biological tissues. Both yet exhibit considerable inter-individual differences and are affected by factors such as aging and disease and its progression. Histological ...
Tissue biomanufacturing aims to produce lab-grown stem cell grafts and biomimetic drug testing platforms but remains limited in its ability to recapitulate native tissue mechanics. The emerging field of soft robotics aims to emulate dynamic physiolog...
Embolization is the prevailing therapy for tumor-targeting, anti-organ hyperfunction, and hemostasis. However, the injection of embolic agents largely depends on the experiences of doctors as assisted by X-ray, which will negate the health of the doc...
To evaluate the performance of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) in detecting local tumor progression (LTP) after tumor ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on follow-up arterial phase CT images. The DCNN model utilizes three-dimensio...
