The risk stratification system of the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) for thyroid nodules is affected by low diagnostic specificity. Machine learning (ML) methods can optimize the diagnostic perf...
BACKGROUND: The consistency of meningioma is a factor that may influence surgical planning and the extent of resection. The aim of our study is to develop a predictive model of tumor consistency using the radiomic features of preoperative magnetic re...
OBJECTIVES: To (1) develop a fully automated deep learning (DL) algorithm based on gadoxetic acid-enhanced hepatobiliary phase (HBP) MRI and (2) compare the diagnostic performance of DL vs. MR elastography (MRE) for noninvasive staging of liver fibro...
Chronic liver disease (CLD) is currently one of the major causes of death worldwide. If not treated, it may lead to cirrhosis, hepatic carcinoma and death. Ultrasound (US) shear wave elastography (SWE) is a relatively new, popular, non-invasive techn...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: While biopsy is the gold standard for liver fibrosis staging, it poses significant risks. Noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis is a growing field. Recently, deep learning (DL) technology has revolutionized medical image analy...
Low specificity and operator dependency are the main problems of breast ultrasound (US) screening. We investigated the added value of deep learning-based computer-aided diagnosis (S-Detect) and shear wave elastography (SWE) to B-mode US for evaluatio...
