OBJECTIVES: The accurate prediction of post-hepatectomy early recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is crucial for decision-making regarding postoperative adjuvant treatment and monitoring. We aimed to explore the feasibility of ...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and investigate a deep learning model with data integration of ultrasound contrast-enhanced micro-flow (CEMF) cines, B-mode images, and patients' clinical parameters to improve the diagnosis of significant liver fibrosis (≥ F2) ...
Accurate body weights are not necessarily available in routine clinical practice. This study aimed to investigate whether body weight can be predicted from chest radiographs using deep learning. Deep-learning models with a convolutional neural networ...
BACKGROUND: Intravenous contrast agents are routinely used in CT imaging to enable the visualization of intravascular pathology, such as with abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, the injection is contraindicated in patients with iodine allergy and is...
OBJECTIVES: A deep learning-based super-resolution for postcontrast volume-interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) of the chest was investigated in this study. Aim was to improve image quality, noise, artifacts and diagnostic confidence without c...

Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is routinely included in the prostate MRI protocol for a long time; its role has been questioned. It provides rich spatial and temporal information. However, the contained information cannot be fully extracted ...
PURPOSE: To compare the image quality and conspicuity of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) between the low-kVp and dual-energy pancreatic protocol CT reconstructed with deep-learning image reconstruction (DLIR).
OBJECTIVE: Low monoenergetic images obtained using noise-reduction techniques may reduce CT contrast media requirements. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of low-contrast-dose CT using dual-energy CT and deep learning-based denoising (DLD) te...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Myocardial infarction scar (MIS) assessment by cardiac magnetic resonance provides prognostic information and guides patients' clinical management. However, MIS segmentation is time-consuming and not performed routinely. Th...
The purpose of the current study was to develop a deep learning technique called Golden-angle RAdial Sparse Parallel Network (GRASPnet) for fast reconstruction of dynamic contrast-enhanced 4D MRI acquired with golden-angle radial k-space trajectories...
