To investigate the brain aging in patients with cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy(HE), constructed a prediction model of brain age based on deep learning and T high-resolution MRI, and try to reveal the specific regions where cirrhosis and HE acc...

BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is positively associated with the prevalence and severity of psoriasis. The fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index was developed to predict significant liver fibrosis. Using the FIB-4 ind...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of image characteristics and radiomics combined with machine learning based on Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI for functional liver reserve assessment in cirrhotic patients.

OBJECTIVE: Esophageal varix (EV) bleeding is a particularly serious complications of cirrhosis. Prediction of EV bleeding requires extensive endoscopy experience; it remains unreliable and inefficient. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the fe...
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the most common chronic liver disease globally and a leading cause for liver transplantation in the US. Its pathogenesis remains imprecisely defined. We combined two high-resolution modalities to tissue samples ...
INTRODUCTION: Esophageal varices (EV) are a common manifestation of portal hypertension in cirrhotic patients. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGE) is the gold standard for diagnosing EV. However, it is an invasive examination with a relatively hig...

Hepatic hydrothorax refers to the presence of a pleural effusion (usually >500 mL) in a patient with cirrhosis who does not have other reasons to have a pleural effusion (e.g., cardiac, pulmonary, or pleural disease). Hepatic hydrothorax occurs in ap...

This study aimed to assess liver fibrosis in rabbits by deep learning models based on acoustic nonlinearity maps. Injection of carbon tetrachloride was used to induce liver fibrosis. Acoustic nonlinearity maps, which were built by data of echo signal...
BACKGROUND: Cirrhosis is the result of advanced scarring (or fibrosis) of the liver, and is often diagnosed once decompensation with associated complications has occurred. Current non-invasive tests to detect advanced liver fibrosis have limited perf...
