ObjectiveThis prospective study aimed to establish the typical viscosity range of the thyroid gland in healthy individuals using a new method called the Sound Touch Viscosity (STVi) technique with a linear array transducer.MethodsSeventy-eight healthy volunteers were enrolled between March, 2023 and April, 2023. Thyroid viscosity was measured using the Resona R9 ultrasound system equipped with a linear array transducer (L Read More

BackgroundPatients with abdominal Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma (PPGL) are prone to a hypertensive crisis during surgery, which may endanger their lives. This study aimed to develop and validate a Computed Tomography (CT) radiomics nomogram for the prediction of intraoperative hypertensive crisis in patients with PPGL.MethodsIn this retrospective study, 212 patients with abdominal PPGL underwent Read More

IntroductionThis paper examines the impact of transfer learning and CLAHE (Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization) optimization on the classification of medical images, specifically brain images.MethodsFour different setups were tested: normal images without data augmentation, normal images with data augmentation, CLAHE-processed images without data augmentation, and CLAHE-processed images with data Read More

BackgroundExtrahepatic Common Bile Duct Obstruction (EHBDO) is a serious condition that requires accurate diagnosis for effective treatment. Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a widely used noninvasive imaging technique for visualizing bile ducts, but its interpretation can be complex.ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop a deep learning-based classification model that integrates MRCP im Read More

PurposeThis study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of spectral dual-energy detector computed tomography (SDCT) and its associated parameters in diagnosing acute pulmonary embolism (APE).MethodsRetrospective analysis of imaging data from 86 APE-diagnosed patients using SDCT was conducted. Virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) at 40, 70, and 100 KeV, Iodine concentration (IC) maps, Electron Cloud Dens Read More

Background:Laparoscopically Harvested Pedicled Omental Flap (LHPOF) has become a viable option for breast reconstruction due to advancements in minimally invasive techniques, offering benefits like reduced postoperative pain and minimal scarring.Case Presentation:This study examines the imaging findings in eight patients who underwent breast reconstruction using a LHPOF. Imaging modalities, including mammography, ult Read More
