Background/Objectives: Lead acrylic shields (LASs) enhance radiation protection, with variation of their usage among different specialties. This prospective multicentric observational study aimed to explore patterns of ocular radiation exposure and L...
Cancer risk estimation remains one of the main unresolved challenges in human spaceflight beyond low Earth orbit, where astronauts are exposed to galactic cosmic rays, solar particle events, and high-linear energy transfer (high-LET) secondary radiat...
Background/Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI) can support lesion detection in gadolinium-based contrast agent-enhanced (GBCA-enhanced) breast MRI. However, its effectiveness on virtual contrast-enhanced (vCE) images remains unclear. This feasib...
Background/Objectives: Differences among scanners and reconstruction methods may limit the comparability of quantitative metrics derived from fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET)/computed tomography (CT). Although harmonization r...
Background and Objectives: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder. This study aims to assess the hip-knee-ankle anatomical alignment in patients with OA at different stages. Materials and Methods: Radiological images of 200...
Objectives: This study investigates the repeatability and reproducibility of radiomic features extracted from different energy levels of virtual monoenergetic reconstruction (VMER) and polyenergetic reconstruction (PER) obtained with photon-counting...
Background: Posterior malleolar fractures are commonly assessed using two-dimensional measurements and morphology-based classification systems. However, ankle fracture morphology is inherently three-dimensional, and the reproducibility of CT-based vo...
Purpose: To develop and technically validate a reproducible multicentre MRI radiomics workflow for pancreatic cyst risk stratification using paired T1- and T2-weighted imaging from public datasets. Methods: Public datasets were screened and Cyst-X wa...
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) parameters in soft tissue tumors (STTs). Methods: This r...
Background/Objectives: To evaluate whether day-of-procedure ambient ozone exposure is associated with pneumothorax after CT-guided lung biopsy. Methods: This retrospective single-centre study included 160 CT-guided lung biopsies performed between Jan...
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) on preoperative surgical decision-making and risk assessment for mandibular third molar (MM3) extractions in cases identified as high-risk by orthopantomography (OPG...
Background/Objectives: Reliable uncertainty quantification (UQ) is a prerequisite for deploying automated systems in safety-critical medical imaging workflows, yet existing approaches either sacrifice computational efficiency or provide poorly calibr...
Background/Objectives: Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation is used to guide bronchoscopes toward peripheral pulmonary lesions, but broad clinical and research adoption remains limited by the cost of proprietary software and by segmentation failures in s...
Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus and nonobstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) may remain at increased cardiovascular risk despite the absence of flow-limiting stenosis. Quantitative coronary CT angiography (CCTA) enables comprehensiv...
Background: Multimodal breast ultrasound, including B-mode imaging, color Doppler flow imaging, and elastography, provides complementary information for lesion characterization. However, effectively integrating heterogeneous modalities remains challe...
Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cerebellar degeneration. One difficulty in treating this disease lies in identifying preclinical carriers: individuals who carry...
Purpose: To investigate the agreement on perfusion parameters derived from two different commercially available solutions for dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: A total of 5...
