A robust and efficient AI assistant for breast tumor segmentation from DCE-MRI via a spatial-temporal framework.

Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) allows screening, follow up, and diagnosis for breast tumor with high sensitivity. Accurate tumor segmentation from DCE-MRI can provide crucial information of tumor location and shape, which significantly influences the downstream clinical decisions. In this paper, we aim to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant to automatically segment breast tumors by capturing dynamic changes in multi-phase DCE-MRI with a spatial-temporal framework.

An MRI-based scoring system for pretreatment risk stratification in locally advanced rectal cancer.

Background: Accurately assessing the risk of recurrence in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) before treatment is important for the development of treatment strategies. The purpose of this study is to develop an MRI-based scoring system to predict the risk of recurrence in patients with LARC.

Methods: This was a multicenter observational study that enrolled participants who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
