PURPOSE: Accurate differentiation of benign renal lesions from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is crucial for optimized management, particularly for small renal lesions (≤4 cm in diameter). This study aimed to integrate clinical data, radiomic features, a...
BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer patients are prone to lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after surgery, which is an important cause of death in postoperative patients. Therefore, it is particularly important to find a suitable way to predict the r...
Treatment decisions for an incidental renal mass are mostly made with pathologic uncertainty. Improving the diagnosis of benign renal masses and distinguishing aggressive cancers from indolent ones is key to better treatment selection. We analyze 132...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) continues to be a leading global cause of cardiovascular related mortality. The scoring of coronary artery calcium (CAC) using computer tomography (CT) images is a diagnostic instrument for evaluating the risk of asympto...
BACKGROUND: Large language models (LLMs) often struggle to fully capture the nuanced preferences and clinical judgement of radiologists in medical report summarization even when fine-tuned on massive medical reports. This could lead to the generated ...
BACKGROUND: Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are prevalent in the elderly, often caused by osteoporosis or trauma. Differentiating acute from chronic VCFs is vital for treatment planning, but MRI, the gold standard, is inaccessible for some. Ho...

BACKGROUND: The morphology of the zygomatic complex significantly influences facial appearance, leading to a focus on zygomatic osteotomy. The current technique, the "L-shaped" zygomatic osteotomy, requires a small incision and preoperative osteotomy...
