IILS: Intelligent imaging layout system for automatic imaging report standardization and intra-interdisciplinary clinical workflow optimization.

Background: To achieve imaging report standardization and improve the quality and efficiency of the intra-interdisciplinary clinical workflow, we proposed an intelligent imaging layout system (IILS) for a clinical decision support system-based ubiquitous healthcare service, which is a lung nodule management system using medical images.

Methods: We created a lung IILS based on deep learning for imaging report standardization and workflow optimization for the identification of nodules. Our IILS utilized a deep learning plus adaptive auto layout tool, which trained and tested a neural network with imaging data from all the main CT manufacturers from 11,205 patients.

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis: a rare case of breast carcinoma metastasizing to a pheochromocytoma, and a literature review.

Background: Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is a well-recognized but uncommon entity. Breast carcinoma is one of the most common metastatic donors. Breast carcinoma metastasizes commonly to adrenal glands.

Application of spectral CT imaging in evaluating lymph node metastasis in patients with gastric cancers: initial findings.

Background: Traditional computed tomography (CT) can predict the lymph node metastasis of gastric cancers with moderate accuracy; however, investigation of spectral CT imaging in this field is still limited.

Purpose: To explore the application of spectral CT imaging in evaluating lymph node metastasis in patients with gastric cancers.

Material And Methods: Twenty-four patients with gastric cancers prospectively underwent spectral CT imaging in the arterial phase.

[Analysis of Related Factors in Elderly Patients with Strangulated Small Bowel Obstruction].

Objective To investigate the surgery-related factors of strangulated small bowel obstruction in the elderly patients. Methods The clinical data of 261 elderly patients with acute small bowel obstruction treated between July 2010 and September 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Differences of clinical data,laboratory Results ,and CT findings were compared between the elderly strangulation group(ESt group,n=139)and the elderly simple group (ESi group,n=122).

Correlation between apparent diffusion coefficients and HER2 status in gastric cancers: pilot study.

Background: To evaluate whether apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of gastric cancer obtained from diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) correlates with the HER2 status.

Methods: Forty-five patients, who had been diagnosed with gastric cancer through biopsy, were enrolled in this IRB-approved study. Each patient underwent a DWI (b values: 0 and 1,000 sec/mm(2)) prior to surgery (curative gastrectomy or palliative resection).

A study on urban road traffic safety based on matter element analysis.

This paper examines a new evaluation of urban road traffic safety based on a matter element analysis, avoiding the difficulties found in other traffic safety evaluations. The issue of urban road traffic safety has been investigated through the matter element analysis theory. The chief aim of the present work is to investigate the features of urban road traffic safety.

Preoperative apparent diffusion coefficient value of gastric cancer by diffusion-weighted imaging: Correlations with postoperative TNM staging.

Background: To determine if the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of gastric cancers on the preoperative diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) correlate with the postoperative TNMs of the lesions.

Methods: In a retrospective clinical study, seventy patients with gastric cancers were enrolled and each underwent a MRI before surgery. DWI was obtained with a single-shot, echo-planar imaging sequence in the axial plane (b values: 0 and 1000 s/mm(2) ).

Modeling pedestrian's conformity violation behavior: a complex network based approach.

Pedestrian injuries and fatalities present a problem all over the world. Pedestrian conformity violation behaviors, which lead to many pedestrian crashes, are common phenomena at the signalized intersections in China. The concepts and metrics of complex networks are applied to analyze the structural characteristics and evolution rules of pedestrian network about the conformity violation crossings.

Apparent diffusion coefficient value of gastric cancer by diffusion-weighted imaging: correlations with the histological differentiation and Lauren classification.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlations between histological differentiation and Lauren classification of gastric cancer and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI).

Materials And Methods: Sixty-nine patients with gastric cancer lesions underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (3.0T) and surgical resection.

[Preoperative T staging of gastric cancer: comparison between MR including diffusion weighted imaging and contrast enhanced CT scan].

Objective: To compare the accuracy of CT and MR including diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) in preoperative diagnosis and T staging of gastric cancer.

Methods: Forty-one patients with gastric cancers proved by gastroscopy biopsy from November 2011 to August 2012 were prospectively enrolled. They underwent contrast enhanced CT and MR imaging (including DWI, T2 weighted and dynamic enhanced imaging) preoperatively.

[Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging for metastatic lymph nodes in patients with gastric cancer].

Objective: To explore the preoperative diagnostic value of MR diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) for metastatic lymph nodes in patients with gastric cancer.

Methods: Between December 2011 and December 2012, 52 gastric cancer patients(34 men, 18 women) underwent preoperative MR DWI. The apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) and short diameter of lymph nodes were measured and compared with the postoperative histopathological findings.

Added value of diffusion-weighted MR imaging to T2-weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging in T staging of gastric cancer.

Objective: To assess the utilization of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in T staging of gastric cancer prospectively.

Methods: Fifty-one patients underwent T2-weighted (T2W), contrast-enhanced (CE) and DW MR imaging. Two radiologists independently interpreted the images for T staging of the tumors.
