Published: March 2004

Non-invasive imaging methods are increasingly used to study the evolution and therapy of brain diseases under both clinical and experimental conditions. In the animal experiment, these methods can be supplemented by invasive tissue assays to allow precise characterization of the underlying pathophysiology. Based on such an approach, this review evaluates the importance of in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and positron emission tomography (PET) for the understanding of the pathophysiology of brain ischemia.

Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) grade of meningiomas is determined based on the biopsy results. Therefore, accurate non-invasive preoperative grading could significantly improve treatment planning and patient outcomes. Considering recent advances in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), this meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the performance of these models in predicting the WHO meningioma grade using imaging data.

Purpose: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), the most common subtype of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), is prevalent worldwide and poses significant challenges due to their increasing incidence and complex treatment considerations. Existing clinical approaches, such as Mohs micrographic surgery, are time-consuming and labour-intensive, requiring meticulous layer-by-layer excision and examination, which can significantly extend the duration of the procedure. Current optical imaging solutions also lack the necessary spatial resolution, penetration depth, and contrast for effective clinical use.
