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 ...
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.
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,...
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...
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...

PURPOSE: Artificial Intelligence models based on medical (imaging) data are increasingly developed. However, the imaging software on which the original data is generated is frequently updated. The impact of updated imaging software on the performance...
BACKGROUND: Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Liver stiffness, as measured by MR elastography (MRE), is well-accepted as a surrogate marker of liver fibrosis.
BACKGROUND: Monitoring fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) is an important management strategy. We have already reported a novel stacked microvascular imaging (SMVI) technique and an examiner scoring evaluation method to improve fib...
BACKGROUND: Measurement noise often leads to inaccurate shear wave phase velocity estimation in ultrasound shear wave elastography. Filtering techniques are commonly used for denoising the shear wavefields. However, these filters are often not suffic...
