OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model based on quantitative analysis of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) images that predicts early recurrence (ER) after thermal ablation (TA) of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM).
AIMS: The timely diagnosis of different stages in NAFLD is crucial for disease treatment and reversal. We used hepatocellular ballooning to determine different NAFLD stages.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has become the 4th leading cause of cancer-related deaths, with high social, economical and health implications. Imaging techniques such as multiphase computed tomography (CT) have been successfully used for diagnosis o...
Microrobots that can be precisely guided to target lesions have been studied for in vivo medical applications. However, existing microrobots have challenges in vivo such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, actuation module, and intra- and postoper...
OBJECTIVES: To compare the image quality and hepatic metastasis detection of low-dose deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) with full-dose filtered back projection (FBP)/iterative reconstruction (IR).
The identification and quantification of liver lesions changes in longitudinal contrast enhanced CT (CECT) scans is required to evaluate disease status and to determine treatment efficacy in support of clinical decision-making. This paper describes a...
OBJECTIVE: Accurate segmentation of liver tumors, which could help physicians make appropriate treatment decisions and assess the effectiveness of surgical treatment, is crucial for the clinical diagnosis of liver cancer. In this study, we propose a ...
Cancer prognosis analysis is of essential interest in clinical practice. In order to explore the prognostic power of computational histopathology and genomics, this paper constructs a multi-modality prognostic model for survival prediction. We collec...
PURPOSE: Fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging (T2-FS) requires a long scan time and can be wrought with motion artifacts, urging the development of a shorter and more motion robust sequence. We compare the image quality of a single-shot T2-weighted MRI...
