UNLABELLED: Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) decreases delayed graft function (DGF) and improves 1-year graft survival in expanded criteria donors (ECDs). Time of HMP could be associated with incidence of DGF.
OBJECTIVES: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) has a poor prognosis. Most patients are treated with tube thoracostomy and sclerotherapy, although its success rate is around 64%. We have investigated intrapleural perfusion with hyperthermic chemotherapy...

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with alterations in the blood-brain barrier, neuronal damage, and arterial stiffness, thus affecting cerebral metabolism and perfusion. There is a need to implement machine-learning methodolog...
Our previous study employed the classic laser Doppler flux (LDF) to explore the complexity of local blood flow signals and their relationship with heart rate variability (HRV). However, microcirculation blood flow is composed of different velocity co...
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) enables video rate imaging of blood flow. However, its relation to tissue blood perfusion is nonlinear and depends strongly on exposure time. By contrast, the perfusion estimate from the slower laser Doppler flow...

BACKGROUND: Quantitative myocardial perfusion cardiac MRI can provide a fast and robust assessment of myocardial perfusion status for the noninvasive diagnosis of myocardial ischemia while being more objective than visual assessment. However, it curr...

PURPOSE: Attenuation correction using CT transmission scanning increases the accuracy of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and enables quantitative analysis. Current existing SPECT-only systems normally do not support transmission sc...
