Background: Establishing and maintaining gamma knife facility incurs significant costs, mandating healthcare institutions to meticulously assess financial implications for sustainability.
Methods: This study explores the financial implications of setting up and operating a Gamma Knife facility, with an aim to ascertain user charges for achieving breakeven. The study was conducted from January to June 2019 at the largest neurosurgery centre of an Institute of National Importance (INI), in Delhi, India.
Lung ultrasound is a growing modality in clinics for diagnosing and monitoring acute and chronic lung diseases due to its low cost and accessibility. Lung ultrasound works by emitting diagnostic pulses, receiving pressure waves and converting them into radio frequency (RF) data, which are then processed into B-mode images with beamformers for radiologists to interpret. However, unlike conventional ultrasound for soft tissue anatomical imaging, lung ultrasound interpretation is complicated by complex reverberations from the pleural interface caused by the inability of ultrasound to penetrate air.

Background: Accurate estimation of recurrence risk for cervical cancer plays a pivot role in making individualized treatment plans. We aimed to develop and externally validate an end-to-end deep learning model for predicting recurrence risk in cervical cancer patients following surgery by using multiparametric MRI images.
Methods: The clinicopathologic data and multiparametric MRI images of 406 cervical cancer patients from three institutions were collected.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful diagnostic tool that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. This article examines the challenges associated with MRI, particularly focusing on patient anxiety and claustrophobic reactions that can lead to aborted scans. It discusses the use of anxiolytics, especially benzodiazepines, to manage these issues, while highlighting the potential risks of respiratory depression and other adverse outcomes in select patient populations.

Ultrasonic atomization is an object of steadily increasing interest from metal powder manufacturers, both for additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy. Based on the analysis of available theoretical studies, simulations and experiments, it was noted that the average particle size after atomization and the final particle size distribution depend on the process parameters (e.g.
