The evolution of endoscopic ultrasound in Saudi Arabia: an expert review of clinical practice and literature
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has emerged as a cornerstone in gastrointestinal diagnostics and therapeutics worldwide. In Saudi Arabia, however, its development has not yet been comprehensively reviewed in the context of evolving clinical practice and training needs. This narrative review synthesises published...
CRLM-GAN: a feature-constrained GAN-based deep learning framework for multi-parametric MRI-based segmentation of colorectal liver metastases before and after chemotherapy
Abdominal Imaging 7 min.
Colorectal cancer accounts for 10.0% of new cancer cases worldwide, while its mortality rate is 9.4%, making it the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths [1]. Colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) refer to secondary malignant liver tumours originating from primary colorectal cancer and represent...
Foundation model-guided multi-view semi-supervised CT segmentation of liver tumors in resource-constrained settings
Abdominal Imaging 9 min.
The liver serves as the link between metabolic homeostasis and digestive function, and is an extremely important organ in human physiology. Its critical role is profoundly challenged by hepatic malignancies, which constitute a major source of cancer-related morbidity and mortality globally, posing a...
Preoperative stratification of Ki-67 proliferation index in intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma via tumor-halo radiomic phenotyping on biparametric MRI: a multicenter diagnostic model
Abdominal Imaging 5 min.
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly malignant liver tumor with a poor prognosis, which originates from the epithelial cells of the intrahepatic bile ducts [1, 2]. Intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma (IMCC) is the most common subtype of ICC, accounting for approximately 65% of cases....
Diagnostic value of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI versus contrast-enhanced CT for detecting liver metastasis in colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abdominal Imaging 5 min.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed malignancy worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths [1]. Approximately 25–30% of CRC patients develop liver metastases, significantly worsening their prognosis [2, 3]. Recent advancements in targeted therapies and...
