Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an abundant and diverse cell population within tumor microenvironments of solid tumors. Multiple subtypes of CAFs, defined by molecular and functional markers, have been described in the literature. CAFs contr...
Background/Objectives: The breast is a highly radiosensitive organ that is directly exposed to ionizing radiation during chest computed tomography (CT) examinations. Excessive radiation exposure increases the risk of radiation-induced malignancies, h...
Background: Accurate volumetry and imaging characterization of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) are essential for prognostication and treatment planning, but manual assessment is time-consuming and therefore underutilized. Methods: We retrospectively...
Background: Accurate confirmation of nasogastric (NG) tubes is essential for patient safety, but delays and variability in interpretation remain common in clinical practice. Deep learning (DL) models have shown potential for assisting in this task, b...
Background/Objectives: Aortic valve calcification is commonly evaluated using 3.0 mm true non-contrast (TNC) computed tomography (CT) images. This study evaluates the reproducibility of virtual non-contrast (VNC) reconstructions at different slice in...
Background/Objectives: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women worldwide. Early diagnosis and accurate classification in breast cancer detection are among the most critical factors determining treatment success and patient survi...
Background/Objectives: To identify preoperative MRI features using computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) that are associated with invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DDFS) in patients with primarily operable triple...
Introduction: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is the most prevalent muscular dystrophy in adults, characterized by weakness, impaired functional abilities, and myotonia. However, little is known about the relationship between quantitative MRI measures (fat...
Background/Objectives: To assess diagnostic accuracy of two-dimensional (2D) projection methods for rapid visual quality control of automated volumetric (3D) lung segmentations compared with slice-based 3D review of segmentation results for applicati...
Objective: Chest computed tomography (CT) is a key component of the diagnostic assessment of people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) and is increasingly replacing chest radiography. Due to improvements in life expectancy, radiation exposure has become a g...
Background: Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for evaluating thyroid nodules, with echogenicity and nodule size serving as parameters for malignancy risk stratification. Though the TI-RADS classification system is standardized, interpretatio...
Lung nodules are a common radiological finding that can be caused by a variety of reasons, ranging from benign granulomas and scarring to the early stages of primary lung malignancies and metastases [...]
Objectives: Ultra-high dose-rate FLASH radiotherapy has demonstrated strong potential in reducing normal tissue toxicity while maintaining effective tumor control. However, its underlying radiobiological mechanisms remain unclear, highlighting the ne...
