We aimed to compare quantitative radiomic parameters from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) of lung adenocarcinoma and pathologic complexity.A total 89 tumors with clinical stage I/II lung adenocarcinoma were prospectively included. Fifty one radiomic features were assessed both from iodine images and non-contrast images of DECT datasets. Comprehensive histologic subtyping was evaluated wi...

OBJECTIVE The spot sign is related with the risk of hematoma expansion in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, not all spot sign positive patients undergo hematoma expansion. Thus, the present study investigates the specific factors enhancing the spot sign positivity in predicting hematoma expansion. METHODS We retrospectively studied 316 consecutive patients who presented bet...

The monochromatic images acquired by Gemstone spectral imaging (GSI) mode on the GE CT750 HD theoretically determines the computed tomography (CT) number more accurately than that of conventional scanner. Using the former, the CT number is calculated from (synthesized) monoenergetic X-ray data. We reasoned that the monochromatic image might be applied to radiotherapy treatment planning (RTP) to...

Although cerebral edema is a major cause of death and deterioration following hemispheric stroke, there remains no validated biomarker that captures the full spectrum of this critical complication. We recently demonstrated that reduction in intracranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume (∆ CSF) on serial computed tomography (CT) scans provides an accurate measure of cerebral edema severity, whic...

Abstract Background and purpose Fatty liver is one of the most common pre-existing illnesses; it can cause injury, leading to further complications in coronavirus disease 2019 patients. Our goal determine if fatty more prevalent hospitalized COVID-19 patients compared admitted before SARS-CoV-2 pandemic severity among Experimental approach This retrospective study involves a case control group ...

PURPOSE To compare the stone clearance times in patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) or retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for single radiopaque renal pelvis stones 10-20 mm in size. The results of this study may guide urologists and patients and aid in selecting the optimal preoperative treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2013 and February 2015, we c...

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have been widely used and it is expected to use for the clinical examination image. The objective of current study was synthesize material decomposition images bone-water (bone(water)) fat-water (fat(water)) reconstructed from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) using an equivalent kilovoltage-CT (kV-CT) image a deep conditional GAN. effective atomic nu...

Failure We have read the recent article entitled “Quantification of Thrombus Hounsfield Units on Noncontrast CT Predicts Stroke Subtype and Early Recanalization after Intravenous Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator” by Puig et al with great interest. We congratulate the authors on their analysis, in which they found that relative Hounsfield unit attenuation of MCA clot was the best predict...
