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...
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...
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to develop a diagnostic prediction model to improve identification of acute symptomatic portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
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: 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: 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...
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.
BACKGROUND: ALPPS procedure is gaining interest. Indications and technical aspects of this technique are still under debate [1]. Only 4 totally laparoscopic ALPPS procedures have been described in the literature and none by robotic approach [2-4]. Th...

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.
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...
