Alveolar echinococcosis is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus multilocularis in the metacestode stage. The disease involves the liver in almost all cases, and additionally, lung involvement is accompanied in approximately 13% of the cases. Due to the low incidence of pulmonary alveolar echinococci, there are few case reports of lung involvement in the literature. In this study, computed tomography (CT) findings Read More

Rapid test developments and increasing technological knowledge have changed perspectives on ultrasonography. Previously, ultrasonography was used to evaluate chest wall pathologies, to distinguish between pleural effusion and consolidation, to evacuate pleural effusion, or to evaluate diaphragm movement. Today, it is also used in a wide range of pleural and parenchymal diseases. Ultrasonography is not just used in th Read More

Background: The importance of identifying the structural and functional abnormalities in the brain in the early prediction and diagnosis of schizophrenia has attracted the attention of neuroimaging scientists and clinicians. Objective: The purpose of this study is to structure a review paper that recognizes specific biomarkers of the schizophrenic brain. Methods: Neuroimaging can be used to characterize brain structur Read More

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with Dementia, and it is also a memory syndrome in the brain. It affects the brain tissues and causes major changes in day-to-day activities. Aging is a major cause of Alzheimer’s disease. AD is characterized by two pathological hallmarks, Amyloid β protein and neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau protein. The imaging hallmarks for Alzheimer’s disease are sw Read More

Background: To evaluate the perfusion status of patients with acute stroke, different imaging tools are used depending on the condition. CT-CT Angiography and MRI are indispensable imaging tools to diagnose and manage stroke patients. Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) also has been used lately to evaluate vascular structures and consequences of stroke in the brain. We aimed to compare CE-MRI, SWI, and CTA with D Read More

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the surgical efficacy and risk factors of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) patients with increased signal intensity (ISI) on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI-T2WI). Methods: We compared the surgical outcomes of CSM patients with and without ISI. In addition, we compared the efficacy of anterior and posterior cervical decompression in CSM patients wit Read More

Background: Ultrasound is one of the preferred choices for early screening of dense breast cancer. Clinically, doctors have to manually write the screening report, which is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to miss and miswrite. Aim: We proposed a new pipeline to automatically generate AI breast ultrasound screening reports based on ultrasound images, aiming to assist doctors in improving the efficiency of clini Read More

Background: Universally, the most predominant cause of female mortality is mainly due to breast cancer. Owing to numerous constraints in the existing imaging technique, researchers are trying out an alternative tool to detect the tumor before going to the miserable stage. Methods: This article presents a novel method to detect the mean value system for detecting the location of the tumor in different depths by shifting t Read More

Background: Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of death in gynecological malignancies. Being the most common subtype in OEC, ovarian serous cancer also includes two subtypes: low grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSC) and high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) (1). Purpose: The study aims to assess the capability of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis and conventional measurements on magnetic re Read More

Objectives: Our aim was to assess articles published in the field of radiology, nuclear medicine, and medical imaging in 2020 and analyze the linkage of radiology-related topics with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) through literature mapping along with a bibliometric analysis for publications. Methods: We performed a search on the Web of Science Core Collection database for articles in the field of radiology, nucl Read More

Noise in computed tomography (CT) images may occur due to low radiation doses. Hence, the main aim of this paper is to reduce the noise from low-dose CT images so that the risk of high radiation dose can be reduced. Background: The novel coronavirus outbreak has ushered in different new areas of research in medical instrumentation and technology. Medical diagnostics and imaging are one of the ways in which the are Read More

Background: Generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA) is a rare condition, mainly involving bones, soft tissue, and internal organs. The diagnosis of GLA is often difficult. Case Presentation: We report a case of GLA in a boy who was initially treated for suspected Langerhans cell histiocytosis and discuss the potential imaging features of GLA. The clinical and imaging data of a case of GLA in an 8-year-old boy were analyzed retrosp Read More
