Background And Objective: Neurosurgical navigation is a critical element of brain surgery, and accurate segmentation of brain and scalp blood vessels is crucial for surgical planning and treatment. However, conventional methods for segmenting blood vessels based on statistical or thresholding techniques have limitations. In recent years, deep learning-based methods have emerged as a promising solution for blood vessel segmentation, but the segmentation of small blood vessels and scalp blood vessels remains challenging.

Purposes: This study aims to investigate the diagnostic performance of combining 68Ga-pentixafor PET with MRI to differentiate primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) from glioblastoma (GBM), particularly focusing on atypical lymphoma identification.
Patients And Methods: Seventy-one PCNSL and 53 GBM patients who underwent both 68Ga-pentixafor PET/CT and MRI were retrospectively included. We evaluated the quantitative imaging parameters and MRI features of positive lesions, identifying atypical PCNSL by hemorrhage, necrosis, or heterogeneous enhancement.

This study aimed to establish and validate a multiparameter prediction model for Ki67 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients while also exploring its potential to predict the one-year recurrence risk. The clinical, pathological, and imaging data of 83 patients with HCC confirmed by postoperative pathology were analyzed, and the patients were randomly divided into a training set (n = 58) and a validation set (n = 25) at a ratio of 7:3. All patients underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan that included multi-b value diffusion-weighted scanning before surgery, and quantitative parameters were obtained via intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and diffusion kurtosis (DKI) models.

Introduction: Prior researches have reported abnormal changes of thalamus in patients with subcortical ischemic vascular disease (SIVD), which was usually analyzed as a whole. However, it was currently unclear whether the structure, function and connectivity of thalamic subregions were differentially affected by this disease and affected different cognitive functions.
Methods: This study recruited 30 SIVD patients with cognitive impairment (SIVD-CI), 30 SIVD patients with cognitive unimpaired (SIVD-CU) and 32 normal controls.
