Low mechanical index contrast mode versus high mechanical index contrast mode: which is a more sensitive method for detecting Sonazoid microbubbles in the liver of normal subjects?

Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001)
PURPOSE: Using the low mechanical index (MI) contrast mode and the high MI contrast mode of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, we evaluated which method is more sensitive for detecting Sonazoid microbubbles in the liver of normal subjects.

Evaluation of a transcutaneous method to assess canine liver function by indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate in healthy adult Beagle dogs.

Veterinary journal (London, England : 1997)
A non-invasive, transcutaneous method using near infrared spectroscopy to assess indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate (ICG-PDR) in healthy dogs subjected to different conditions was evaluated in eight healthy purpose-bred Beagles under isoflur...

Vascular segmentation in hepatic CT images using adaptive threshold fuzzy connectedness method.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Fuzzy connectedness method has shown its effectiveness for fuzzy object extraction in recent years. However, two problems may occur when applying it to hepatic vessel segmentation task. One is the excessive computational cost, and the oth...

Serum tests, liver stiffness and artificial neural networks for diagnosing cirrhosis and portal hypertension.

Digestive and liver disease : official journal of the Italian Society of Gastroenterology and the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic performance of biochemical scores and artificial neural network models for portal hypertension and cirrhosis is not well established.

Hybrid laparoscopic-robotic management of type IVa choledochal cyst in the setting of prior Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: video case report and review of the literature.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Choledochal cysts are rare congenital disease of the biliary system. The recommended treatment of these lesions is surgical excision with biliary enteric reconstruction. In patients with normal anatomy, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is pr...

Comparison of CT Fluoroscopy-Guided Manual and CT-Guided Robotic Positioning System for In Vivo Needle Placements in Swine Liver.

Cardiovascular and interventional radiology
PURPOSE: To compare CT fluoroscopy-guided manual and CT-guided robotic positioning system (RPS)-assisted needle placement by experienced IR physicians to targets in swine liver.

Accept/decline decision module for the liver simulated allocation model.

Health care management science
Simulated allocation models (SAMs) are used to evaluate organ allocation policies. An important component of SAMs is a module that decides whether each potential recipient will accept an offered organ. The objective of this study was to develop and t...

Predicting in vitro assays related to liver function using probabilistic machine learning.

Toxicology
While machine learning has gained traction in toxicological assessments, the limited data availability requires the quantification of uncertainty of in silico predictions for reliable decision-making. This study addresses the challenge of predicting ...

Digital Pathology Quantification of the Continuum of Cirrhosis Severity in Human Liver Biopsies.

Liver international : official journal of the International Association for the Study of the Liver
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Liver biopsy is the gold standard for assessing fibrosis in cirrhotic livers, yet cirrhosis is spatially heterogeneous and continuously remodels. This study evaluates a novel phenotypic digital pathology platform for continuous f...

A Deep Learning Model Based on High-Frequency Ultrasound Images for Classification of Different Stages of Liver Fibrosis.

Liver international : official journal of the International Association for the Study of the Liver
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: To develop a deep learning model based on high-frequency ultrasound images to classify different stages of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B patients.
