Pulmonary vasculature development in congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a novel automated quantitative imaging analysis.

Purpose: Impaired fetal lung vasculature determines the degree of pulmonary hypertension in the congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This study aims to demonstrate the morphometric measurements that differ in pulmonary vessels of fetuses with CDH.

Methods: Nitrofen-induced CDH Sprague-Dawley rat fetuses were scanned with microcomputed tomography.

UC-NfNet: Deep learning-enabled assessment of ulcerative colitis from colonoscopy images.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) belongs to the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) family, which is mainly caused by inflammation of the tissue in the colon and rectum. The severity of this infection can radically affect the patient's overall well-being. Although there is no definitive treatment for this disease, diagnosis of the severity of the disease through colonoscopy imaging and the use of personalized treatment can prevent progression to more malignant stages.
