Pathologic Validation of Deauville Score-Based Disease on F-18 FDG PET/CT after First-Line Treatment in Patients with Lymphoma.

Purpose: PET/CT-based Deauville scoring (DS) is routinely used for lymphoma response assessment. However, pathological correlation of DS is not yet precisely documented. In the present study we aimed to pathological confirm the PET/CT-based Deauville scoring (DS) in lymphoma after first-line chemotherapy.

Convoluted Neural Network for Detection of Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer on Ga PSMA PET/CT Delayed Imaging by Analyzing Radiomic Features.

Purpose: To assess the utility of convoluted neural network (CNN) in differentiating clinically significant and insignificant prostate cancer in patients with  Ga PSMA PET/CT-targeted prostate biopsy-proven prostate cancer.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 142 patients with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer were evaluated who underwent  Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging followed by  Ga-PSMA PET/CT-targeted prostate biopsy from the PSMA-avid prostate lesion. Twenty patients with no PSMA-avid lesions were excluded.

Ga-68 Chemokine Receptor-4 PET/CT Imaging in Schminke Type of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a rare malignancy of the head-and-neck region. It is associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection and smoking. Its association with breast cancer is also infrequent.

Neural Network Pattern Recognition of Ultrasound Image Gray Scale Intensity Histograms of Breast Lesions to Differentiate Between Benign and Malignant Lesions: Analytical Study.

Background: Ultrasound-based radiomic features to differentiate between benign and malignant breast lesions with the help of machine learning is currently being researched. The mean echogenicity ratio has been used for the diagnosis of malignant breast lesions. However, gray scale intensity histogram values as a single radiomic feature for the detection of malignant breast lesions using machine learning algorithms have not been explored yet.

Prevalence and risk factors of gastro-esophageal reflux disease among undergraduate medical students from a southern Indian medical school: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects all age groups, and various lifestyle as well as psychological factors are recognized as risk factors for GERD. Undergraduate medical students are exposed to lifestyle changes and psychological stressors. We aimed to study the prevalence of GERD among undergraduate students of a medical school in southern India in a cross-sectional survey using a validated symptom score.
