(1) Background: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is increasingly used in equine practice to diagnose musculoskeletal injuries, including fractures in the distal limb. However, limited detail in the thick cortical bone of the metacarpus/metatarsus...
Knee disorders are a major indication for musculoskeletal imaging, yet MRI reliability remains constrained by signal nonuniformity, motion artefacts, protocol variability, and reader-dependent effects. This study presents an integrated two-vector fra...
Seed health testing is a cornerstone of global food security, yet traditional diagnostic workflows often struggle to balance speed, sensitivity, and regulatory confidence under low-prevalence and heterogeneous seed lot conditions. This review synthes...
To provide a clinically oriented overview of ultrasound elastography in chronic liver disease, focusing on currently available techniques, their clinical applications, quality assurance, technical pitfalls, and emerging developments that may shape fu...
The most effective diagnostic methods in the medical field are diagnostic imaging techniques such as radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine, which are used to visualize internal body to diagnose...

This study explores the barriers and facilitators to point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) use and adoption in rural healthcare since POCUS is a useful resource for rural clinicians to overcome the challenges associated with limited on-site clinical suppo...
One of the key issues in medicine is quality assurance. It is essential to ensure the quality, consistency and validity of the various diagnostic processes performed. Today, the reproducibility and quality assurance of the analysis of digitized image...
Realistic reconstruction of angioarchitecture within the morphological landmark with three-dimensional sonoangiography (three-dimensional power Doppler; 3D PD) may augment standard prenatal ultrasound and Doppler assessments. This study aimed to (a)...
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a type II glycoprotein, is highly expressed in almost all prostate cancers. By playing such a universal role in the disease, PSMA provides a target for diagnostic imaging of prostate cancer using positron em...
Diagnostic ultrasound or sonography is an image that can provide valuable information for diagnosing and treating a variety of diseases and conditions. The aim of this research study is to examine the performance and accuracy of the ultrasonic imagin...
Thoracic radiography and abdominal ultrasonography are part of standard diagnostic investigations in cases of canine immune-mediated polyarthritis (IMPA). However, the clinical importance of thoracic and abdominal imaging towards the management of ca...
Background: Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) represents a major technological advance in clinical CT imaging, offering superior spatial resolution, enhanced material discrimination, and potential radiation dose reduction compared to convent...
Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) principles are essential for effective cervical cancer prevention. Being a crucial diagnostic step, colposcopy’s sensitivity and specificity improvements are strongly advocated worldwide since int...
MRI perfusion is used to diagnose and monitor neurological conditions such as brain tumors, stroke, dementia, and traumatic brain injury. Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast (DSC) is the most widely available quantitative MRI technique for perfusion imag...
Background: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) show promise in medical imaging, but their performance is highly dependent on prompt engineering. This study systematically evaluates how different prompting strategies affect diagnostic accuracy i...
Background/Objectives: Operator experience, the implementation of low frame rates during both fluoroscopy and digital subtraction angiography (DSA), and the use of modern angiographic systems are essential for maintaining diagnostic image quality whi...
The growing number of electric vehicles and devices drives the demand for lithium-ion batteries. The purpose of the batteries used in electric vehicles and applications is primarily to preserve the cells and extend their lifetime, but they will wear...
Radiochromic films have widely been used for quality assurance (QA) in radiation therapy and have many advantageous features such as self-developing visible coloration, wide dose range and easiness to handle. These features have a good potential for...
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is portable and radiation-free, but its clinical reliability is constrained by operator-dependent image acquisition and the limited scalability of expert quality assurance (QA) review. As handheld devices proliferate...
The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate matrix assisted LASER desorption ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) of blood smear. Integrated light microscope and MALDI IT-TOF mass spectrometer, together with a...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has already arrived in many areas of our lives and, because of the increasing availability of computing power, can now be used for complex tasks in medicine and dentistry. This is reflected by an exponential increase in s...
Background/Objectives: The certification of hospitals as colorectal cancer centers aims to improve treatment quality, but evidence supporting its effectiveness remains limited. This study evaluated the impact of certification on treatment outcomes fo...
The non-destructive testing methods offer great benefit in detecting and classifying the weld defects. Among these, infrared (IR) thermography stands out in the inspection, characterization, and analysis of the defects from the camera image sequences...
Angiography is a key imaging modality for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases, and the growing sophistication of interventional procedures has heightened the need for radiation dose optimization. Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) are wi...
Rationale and Objectives: Post-COVID condition (PCC) is associated with long-term neuropsychiatric symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in PCC examines the brain metabolism, connectivity, and morphometry. Such techniques are not easily availabl...
Given the crucial role of mitochondria as the main cellular energy provider and its contribution towards tumor growth, chemoresistance, and cancer cell plasticity, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) could serve as a relevant biomarker. Thus, the profiling of...
Background. Radiographic bone loss is a primary determinant of periodontitis stage. Intraoral radiographs (periapical and bitewing) are the standard projections for assessing interproximal bone levels, yet their interpretation is subjective and poorl...
