Background/Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI) tools for fracture detection in radiographs are increasingly approved for clinical use but remain underutilized. Understanding physician attitudes before implementation is essential for successful i...

Skin cancer is the most frequently diagnosed form of cancer worldwide. Diagnostic uncertainty can arise when macroscopic or dermoscopic evaluations do not clearly differentiate between benign and malignant lesions. Laser-induced plasma spectroscopy (...

The L1 molecule is a cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) that was originally implicated in neuronal development. In recent years, studies of several large cohorts of patients with endometrial cancer have revealed that L1CAM acts as a poor prognostic facto...

Background/Objectives: The HLA-B*58:01 allele is strongly linked to severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) during allopurinol treatment, and it has been associated with the A allele of PSORS1C1 rs9263726 (G>A). Paraclinical characteristics of...

Background/Objectives: Quantitative intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging, incorporating both diffusion- and perfusion-derived metrics, offers a promising non-invasive approach for assessing tissue microstructure and clinical disability in mult...

Background: Differentiating acute kidney injury (AKI) from chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children remains a critical unmet need due to the limitations of current clinical and biochemical markers. Conventional ultrasound lacks the sensitivity to dis...

Background/Objectives: The transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) rs7903146 polymorphism has been strongly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in various populations; however, its impact on different ethnic groups is not fully understood....

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most prevalent yet underdiagnosed sleep disorders. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of radar-based systems and ranked frequency bands for the non-contact detection of OSA. Methods: A systema...

Background/Objectives: The diagnosis of osteomyelitis is typically based on clinical suspI icion supported by imaging and lab findings. Various nuclear medicine imaging, including bone SPECT/CT, is emerging as an effective tool to guide the diagnosis...

Purpose: This study aimed to compare: the performance of K-TIRADS, EU-TIRADS and ACR TIRADS when used by observers with different levels of experience compared with the gold standard of cytology, and to evaluate the diagnostic performance of CAD (com...
