OBJECTIVES: Hyperthyroidism is characterized by increasing production of thyroid hormone (TH) and decreasing of thyroid stimulation hormone (TSH) secretion. The treatment of hyperthyroidism includes such as anti-thyroid drugs, radioiodine, and thyroi...
OBJECTIVES: To provide an automated classification method for degenerative parkinsonian syndromes (PS) based on semiquantitative I-FP-CIT SPECT striatal indices and support-vector-machine (SVM) analysis.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the noninferiority of Day 30 dosimetry between a machine learning-based treatment planning system for prostate low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy and the conventional, manual planning technique. As a ...
The accurate detection of radioactive iodine-avid lymph node (LN) metastasis on I post-ablation whole-body planar scans (RxWBSs) is important in tracking the progression of the metastatic lymph nodes (mLNs) of patients with papillary thyroid cancer (...
This article explores the value of wall F-FDG PET/Cr imaging in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer, studies its ability to distinguish benign and malignant thyroid lesions, and seeks ways to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. The normal control group se...
Although papillary thyroid cancers are known to have a relatively low risk of recurrence, several factors are associated with a higher risk of recurrence, such as extrathyroidal extension, nodal metastasis, and BRAF gene mutation. However, predicting...
OBJECTIVE: Patients receiving radionuclide 131I treatment expose radiation to others, and there was no clinical trial to verify the effectiveness and safety of mobile robots in radionuclide 131I isolation wards. The objective of this randomized clini...
PURPOSE: To enable a fast and automatic deep learning-based QSM reconstruction of tissues with diverse chemical shifts, relevant to most regions outside the brain.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The current standard imaging-technique for creating postplans in seed prostate brachytherapy is computed tomography (CT), that is associated with additional radiation exposure and poor soft tissue contrast. To establish a magn...

OBJECTIVE: If excellent response (ER) occurs after radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), the recurrence rate is low. Our study aims to predict ER at 6-24 months after RAI by using machine learning...
