Role of Radiomics-based Multiomics Panel in the Microenvironment and Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent form of liver tumor, characterized by restricted therapeutic options and typically low long-term survival rates. Recently, immunotherapy has revolutionized HCC treatment, making the tumor microenvironment (TME) a research focus. Radiomics is increasingly crucial in HCC clinical decisions, offering advanced tools for TME characterization and prognosis assessment.

Assessment of renal pathophysiological processes and protective effect of quercetin on contrast-induced acute kidney injury in type 1 diabetic mice using diffusion tensor imaging.

To investigate the renal pathophysiological processes and protective effect of quercetin on contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in mice with type 1 diabetic mellitus(DM) using diffusion tensor imaging(DTI). Mice with DM were divided into two groups. In the diabetic + contrast medium(DCA) group, the changes of the mice kidneys were monitored at 1, 24, 48, and 72 h after the injection of iodixanol(4gI/kg).

Spiral time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography for intracranial vascular imaging: performance compared to conventional Cartesian angiogram.

Background: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) usually raise the risk of potential malignancies with cumulative radiation doses. Current time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA) (dubbed as cTOF), which is based on Cartesian sampling mode, may show limited diagnostic conspicuity at sinuous or branching regions. It is also prone to relatively high false positive diagnoses and undesirable display of distal intracranial vessels.

Liver fat volume fraction measurements based on multi-material decomposition algorithm in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: the influences of blood vessel, location, and iodine contrast.

Background: In recent years, spectral CT-derived liver fat quantification method named multi-material decomposition (MMD) is playing an increasingly important role as an imaging biomarker of hepatic steatosis. However, there are various measurement ways with various results among different researches, and the impact of measurement methods on the research results is unknown. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reproducibility of liver fat volume fraction (FVF) using MMD algorithm in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients when taking blood vessel, location, and iodine contrast into account during measurement.
