Meningiomas are the most prevalent benign intracranial tumors, and surgical intervention is the primary treatment. The physical characteristics of meningiomas, such as tumor stiffness or consistency, play a crucial role in the surgical approach. This...
Quantification of tissue stiffness with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an inverse problem that is sensitive to noise. Conventional methods for the purpose include direct inversion (DI) and local frequency estimation (LFE). In this study, we...
BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a common cause of liver cirrhosis (LC), a condition associated with an unfavourable prognosis. Therefore, timely diagnosis of LC in CHB patients is crucial.
Early detection of malignant thyroid nodules is crucial for effective treatment, but traditional diagnostic methods face challenges such as variability in expert opinions and limited integration of advanced imaging techniques. This prospective cohort...
Tissue stiffness is related to soft tissue pathologies and can be assessed through palpation or via clinical imaging systems, e.g., ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. Typically, the image based approaches are not suitable during interventions,...
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease and represents a significant public health issue. Nevertheless, current risk stratification methods remain inadequate. The study aimed to use m...
Early and accurate identification of patients at high risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is critical to prevent and improve prognosis potentially. We aimed to develop and validate an explainable prediction model ...
