Modern MR imaging evaluation of the liver allows for a comprehensive morphologic and functional assessment of the liver parenchyma, hepatic vessels, and biliary tree, thus aiding in the diagnosis of both focal and diffuse liver diseases.

In historical illustrations and caricatures, the extraction of a tooth served as a powerful metaphor and threatening gesture that extended far beyond the medical context. This article examines the symbolic significance of this dental procedure and the extracted tooth as an expression of loss, disempowerment, and territorial dispossession. The comparison covers a wide range of visual representations from the French Revolution (1789-1799), the French July Revolution (1830), the Crimean War (1853-1856), the Austro-Prussian War (1866), the Franco-Prussian War (1870/71), to the First (1914-1918) and Second (1939-1945) World Wars and places them in their respective historical contexts.

Purpose: Traditional computer-assisted detection (CADe) algorithms were developed for 2D mammography, while modern artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can be applied to 2D mammography and/or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The objective is to compare the performance of a traditional machine learning CADe algorithm for synthetic 2D mammography to a deep learning-based AI algorithm for DBT on the same mammograms.
Methods: Mammographic examinations from 764 patients (mean age 58 years ± 11) with 106 biopsy-proven cancers and 658 cancer-negative cases were analyzed by a CADe algorithm (ImageChecker v10.

Background: Alzheimer disease (AD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder that presents with cognitive dysfunction, memory loss, language difficulties, emotion dysregulation, and the eventual loss of motor function and death. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows early atrophy in the medial temporal lobes, which then spreads to the posterior temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and finally the frontal lobe with relative sparing of the sensorimotor cortex. Social disadvantage has been shown to have potentially additive impacts on aging trajectories.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a risk factor for earlier onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD)( Graves AB, et al., 1990), and the more severe the injury, the greater the risk of developing AD(Johnson VE, et al.,2010).

Modern neuroimaging techniques have revealed the detrimental impact of air pollution on brain health, in particular the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the effects of long-term (months to years) exposure to outdoor air pollutants on the development and progression of AD using neuroimaging data.
