Background/Objectives: Radiological assessment has become indispensable for modern clinical decision-making. Image quality plays a critical role in the reliability of radiological interpretation. Unlike most previous studies, this study investigated...
Background/Objectives: To comprehensively evaluate longitudinal retinal and choroidal vascular changes after phacoemulsification using automated optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) analysis and to investigate clinical factors influencing...
Background/Objectives: This article develops theory and methods for 3D tomographic imaging of absorption coefficient distributions using axial scanning with EUV microscopes at 46× and 345× magnification. Unlike conventional CT that requir...
Background: Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides excellent soft-tissue contrast for most spinal evaluations, computed tomography (CT) is still always required for preoperative planning to assess osseous anatomy and determine surgical de...
Background/Objectives: Post-cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) remains diagnostically challenging due to overlapping biliary and non-biliary causes. This study aimed to evaluate whether common bile duct (CBD) diameter measured by MRCP can serve as a prac...
Objectives: This study evaluated the test–retest repeatability of semi-quantitative and volumetric features derived from artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted lesion segmentation on 18F-DCFPyL Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA)-PET/CT im...
Background/Objectives: This study aimed to compare in vivo cerebral gadolinium (Gd3+) accumulation, associated unfolded protein response (UPR), and oxidative stress parameters in rats after exposure to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). Method...
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is increasingly performed in fluoroscopy-intensive environments, raising concerns about occupational eye lens dose (equivalent dose to the eye lens, Hp (3)) and the risk of radiation-induced...
Purpose: The present study aimed to assess the radiation dose associated with low-dose (LD) CT pelvimetry compared with conventional radiography and to evaluate the adequacy of the resulting image quality. Methods: The absorbed dose was measured usin...
Background/Objectives: Automatic segmentation and identification of vertebrae in spinal CT are essential for assisting diagnosis of spinal disorders and for preoperative planning. The task is challenging due to the high structural similarity between...
Background: The Detection and localization of breast lesions remain challenging in mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) due to tissue overlap and information loss during volumetric reconstruction. Sinograms preserve the full angular pro...
Background/Objectives: Skull base osteomyelitis and necrotising otitis externa require prolonged antibiotic therapy, yet determining optimal treatment cessation timing remains challenging. Conventional imaging modalities demonstrate persistent abnorm...
This editorial provides insights into the common situation of paper rejection, which must be managed by the authors [...]
Background: In temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), locally reduced glucose metabolism (i.e., hypometabolism) is indicative of the epileptogenic onset zone (EZ). Here, we investigate the potential value of resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) for localizing the EZ...
Background/Objectives: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, and predicting functional outcome at discharge, such as the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), is important for guiding treatment and rehabilitation. Many existing approaches depend...
