Usefulness of radiomics and kidney volume based on non-enhanced computed tomography in chronic kidney disease - initial report.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is classified according to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), but kidney volume (KV) can also provide meaningful information. Very few radiomics (RDX) studies on CKD have used computed tomography (CT). This study aimed to determine whether non-enhanced computed tomography-based (NECT) RDX can be useful in evaluation of patients with CKD and to compare it with KV.

Comparative efficacy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound versus B-mode ultrasound in the diagnosis and monitoring of hepatic abscesses.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in diagnosing and monitoring hepatic abscesses (HA).

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 29 patients (9 females, 20 males) with 64 HA. Computed tomography (CT) served as the diagnostic benchmark, compared with CEUS and B-mode ultrasound (B-mode).
