Low CFR is associated with poor prognosis, whereas it is a heterogeneous condition according to the actual coronary flow, such as high resting or low hyperemic coronary flow, which should have different physiological traits and clinical implications....
Current methods of evaluating the degree of diabetic retinopathy are highly subjective and have no quantitative standard. To objectively evaluate the slight changes in tissue structure during the early stage of retinal diseases, a subjective interpre...
BACKGROUND: Early radiation-induced temporal lobe injury (RTLI) diagnosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is clinically challenging, and prediction models of RTLI are lacking. Hence, we aimed to develop radiomic models for early detection of RTLI.
The prediction of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients who are at higher risk converting to Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is critical for effective intervention and patient selection in clinical trials. Different biomarkers including neuroimaging have...
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the impact of machine learning (ML)-based fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomography (FFR) compared to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) for therapeutic decision-making and patient outcome in patien...
Identifying complex human diseases at molecular level is very helpful, especially in diseases diagnosis, therapy, prognosis and monitoring. Accumulating evidences demonstrated that RNAs are playing important roles in identifying various complex human...

OBJECTIVES: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common systemic vasculitis in adults. In recent years, colour Doppler ultrasound of the temporal arteries (CDU) has proven to be a powerful non-invasive diagnostic tool, but its place in the diagnosi...
PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of different methodologies on the performance of deep learning (DL) model for differentiating high- from low-grade clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of studies investigating the heterogeneity of patients with aortic stenosis (AS). We explored whether cluster analysis identifies distinct subgroups with different prognostic significances in AS.
