A man in his 50s was referred to our hospital with a liver tumor detected by ultrasonography during a medical checkup. Enhanced CT scan and MRI showed hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)in S8 of the liver. Laparoscopic partial hepatectomy was performed. Th...
BACKGROUND: Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) in children is often associated with growth restriction, which improves after the restoration of portal venous flow with a meso-Rex bypass, but the physiologic mechanism is unknown. The purpose...
BACKGROUND: The knowledge of the anatomic features is imperative for successful modeling of the different surgical situations. This study aims to describe the anatomic features of the porcine using computerized tomography (CT) scan.

The following is a case report of moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma of the stomach with widespread thrombosis of the portal vein, for which chemotherapy proved effective. A 75-year-old man presented to the clinic with a new onset ofmal...
BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) can induce portosplenomesenteric vein thrombosis (PVT), which may generate higher morbidity and mortality. However current diagnostic modalities for PVT are still controversial. In recent decades, artificial neural...
OBJECTIVES: To develop a deep learning-based algorithm to automatically identify optimal portal venous phase timing (PVP-timing) so that image analysis techniques can be accurately performed on post contrast studies.
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to develop a diagnostic prediction model to improve identification of acute symptomatic portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
Accurate detection and quantification of hepatic fibrosis remain essential for assessing the severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its response to therapy in clinical practice and research studies. Our aim was to develop an integr...
OBJECTIVE: Measurement of the liver and spleen volumes has clinical implications. Although computed tomography (CT) volumetry is considered to be the most reliable noninvasive method for liver and spleen volume measurement, it has limited application...
A number of staging systems have been developed to predict clinical outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, no general consensus has been reached regarding the optimal model. New approaches such as machine learning (ML) strategies are po...
