This study aims to develop a CT-based hybrid deep learning network to predict pathological subtypes of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma by integrating residual network (ResNet) with Vision Transformer (ViT). A total of 1411 pathologically confirmed ground-glass nodules (GGNs) retrospectively collected from two centers were used as internal and external validation sets for model development. 3D ResNet and ViT were applied to investigate two deep learning frameworks to classify three subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma namely invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and adenocarcinoma in situ, respectively.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA parotid neoplasm is an uncommon condition that only accounts for less than 3% of all head and neck cancers, and they make up less than 0.3% of all new cancers diagnosed annually. Due to their nonspecific imaging features and heterogeneous nature, accurate preoperative diagnosis remains a challenge.

Herein, we report a green and practical protocol using trifluoromethyl tolueneselenosulfonate and -hydroxyarylenaminones to access a wide range of chromone derivatives under photocatalyst and oxidant free conditions. This reaction proceeded smoothly under photoirradiation conditions and various functional groups were tolerant of the reaction conditions.

The distinction between malignant and benign tumors of the parotid gland is clinically important. This study aims to develop and evaluate a deep-learning network for diagnosing parotid gland tumors the deep learning of MR images.

A total of 2393 GGNs were retrospectively collected from 2105 patients in four centers. All the pathologic results of GGNs were obtained from surgically resected specimens.

To evaluate the prognostic value of the baseline SUVmax of F-FDG PET-CT in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) patients.From January 2010 to December 2015, 141 extranodal NKTCL patients with staging F-FDG PET-CT scan were divided into two group based on SUVmax cutoff value obtained from operating characteristic (ROC) curves. All the patients received radiotherapy, chemotherapy or chemoradiation.

The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) parameters were calculated using the DTIStudio software.

This study aims to develop CT image based artificial intelligence (AI) schemes to classify between non-IA and IA nodules, and incorporate deep learning (DL) and radiomics features to improve the classification performance. We collect 373 surgical pathological confirmed ground-glass nodules (GGNs) from 323 patients in two centers.

Methods: 65 patients with unilateral TN underwent 3D-FLASH and 3D-CISS imaging were retrospectively studied. Neurovascular relationship at the intracisternal segment of trigeminal nerve was reviewed by two experienced neuroradiologist, who was blinded to the clinical details.
Background: To study the rules that apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) changes with time and space in cerebral infarction, and to provide the evidence in defining the infarction stages.
Methods: 117 work-ups in 98 patients with cerebral infarction (12 hyperacute, 43 acute, 29 subacute, 10 steady, and 23 chronic infarctions) were imaged with both conventional MRI and diffusion weighted imaging. The average ADC values, the relative ADC (rADC) values, and the ADC values or rADC values from the center to the periphery of the lesion were calculated.
Objective: To analyze the imaging features of Struma ovarii (SO), and to correlate the imaging results with the pathological findings so as to enhance the knowledge of the imaging diagnostics of this disease.
Methods: The clinical records, CT and MRI features of twelve patients with pathologically proved SO were retrospectively analyzed. Imaging features were compared with pathological results.
Objective: To discuss the imaging manifestation and clinical value in herniation pit of femoral neck.
Methods: One case proved by operation and pathology and twenty cases with typical imaging manifestation described by Pitt were reviewed retrospectively. There were 17 males and 4 females with an average age of 53 years old(ranging from 30 to 85 years).
