Optimal glucose control is crucial for maintaining brain health and preventing metabolic and cognitive disorders in the general population. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) serves as a key marker for assessing glucose intolerance and its impact on brain structure and function in healthy individuals. However, existing literature presents conflicting findings, necessitating a systematic review to consolidate current knowledge in this domain.

The reproducibility of radiomics features is an important consideration for routine clinical use. This preliminary study investigates the robustness of radiomics features in PSMA-PET images across penalized-likelihood (Q.

Material And Method: A retrospective analysis was performed on 60 patients with primary CC, of which 40 had liver metastases that were more than 2 cm in diameter. [F]FDG PET/CT was used to calculate SUVmax, and 42 CT radiomic characteristics were extracted from non-enhanced CT images.
Introduction: Radiomics in Ultrasound (US) imaging has been investigated for the prediction and prognosis of cancers. However, inter-scanner and intra-scanner variations may affect the reproducibility of radiomics results. This study aims to evaluate the reproducibility of US textural radiomics features across various scan settings and scanner vendors.
