Predictive value of high-risk esophageal varices in cirrhosis based on dual-energy CT combined with clinical and serologic features
Abdominal Imaging 5 min.
Esophageal gastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) is a common and severe complication occurring during the decompensated stage of portal hypertension in cirrhotic patients, marked by high mortality during acute episodes [1]. Approximately half of cirrhosis patients develop esophageal gastric varices, with...
Association of ultrasound signs of sarcopenia with serum ferritin levels and hepatic indices like NFS and FIB-4 in NAFLD patients
Abdominal Imaging 4 min.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide; its prevalence varies around the world depending on genetics, physical activity, socioeconomic conditions, and average calorie intake [1]. Its prevalence is estimated to be over 25% of the world population [2]....
Location of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography impacts fluoroscopy time: a multi-institutional retrospective study at tertiary academic centers
Abdominal Imaging 4 min.
Ionizing radiation is increasingly used in the field of gastroenterology, most frequently during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). ERCP is a technically demanding procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopyfor the diagnostic and therapeutic management of pancreatobiliary disease....
Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI radiomics and deep learning models to predict microvascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma: a multicenter study
Abdominal Imaging 6 min.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common malignant tumor and the fourth most lethal tumor worldwide [1]. The recurrence and metastasis rates are as high as 50–70% at 5 years after liver cancer resection and liver transplantation [2, 3]. Microvascular invasion (MVI) is defined as...
