Accurate segmentation of brain tumors from MRI scans is a critical task in medical image analysis, yet it remains challenging due to the complex and variable nature of tumor shapes and sizes. Traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs), while ef...
The conventional statistical approach for analyzing resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) data struggles to accurately distinguish between patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and those with neuromyelitis optic spectrum disorders (NMOSD), highlight...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The precise prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is crucial for tailoring perioperative treatment in patients diagnosed with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). This retrospective study aims to develop ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Accurate prediction of progression in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is significant for early personalized intervention. Previous methods commonly focused on quantifying features from a specific sub-structure imaged at baseline ...
OBJECTIVE: To explore new metrics for assessing radical prostatectomy difficulty through a two-stage deep learning method from preoperative magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND: Conventional hip joint MRI scans necessitate lengthy scan durations, posing challenges for patient comfort and clinical efficiency. Previously, accelerated imaging techniques were constrained by a trade-off between noise and resolution. L...

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder. There are no drugs and methods for the treatment of AD, but early intervention can delay the deterioration of the disease. Therefore, the early diagnosis of AD and mild cognitive i...
BACKGROUND: Single-subject voxel-based morphometry (VBM) is a powerful technique for reader-independent detection of brain atrophy in structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to support the (differential) diagnosis and staging of neurodegenerative...

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, distinguishing between spinal tuberculosis (STB) and spinal tumors (ST) poses a significant diagnostic challenge. The application of AI-driven large language models (LLMs) shows great potential for improving the accu...
PURPOSE: Magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE) is a useful three-dimensional (3D) T1-weighted sequence, but is not a priority in routine brain examinations. We hypothesized that converting 3D MRI localizer (AutoAlign Head) images to MPR...
