Exploring the mechanisms of protective effect of high-energy X-ray FLASH radiotherapy on intestine through multi omics analysis
Abdominal Imaging 8 min.
Radiotherapy is a key component of comprehensive cancer treatment [1], with approximately 60%-70% of cancer patients requiring radiotherapy at various stages of their disease [2, 3]. However, for patients with abdominal and pelvic tumors, the incidence of acute radiation enteritis is as high as 60%-80%,...
A CT-based decision tree model for differentiating sub-3 cm gastric ectopic pancreas from gastrointestinal stromal tumors
Abdominal Imaging 5 min.
Gastric ectopic pancreas (GEPs) is a congenital developmental anomaly arising from ectopic migration of pancreatic precursor cells during embryogenesis [1, 2]. It is defined as pancreatic tissue located outside the normal anatomical pancreas, possessing acinar and ductal structures, but lacking anatomical...
Efficacy of N-Acetylcysteine in preventing post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abdominal Imaging 5 min.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a medical procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat disorders of the bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder [1]. It is used for various purposes, including the management of gallstones, tumors, leaks, strictures,...
Machine learning-based differentiation of benign and malignant adrenal lesions using 18F-FDG PET/CT: a two-stage classification and SHAP interpretation study
Abdominal Imaging 10 min.
Adrenal lesions are frequently encountered in oncology imaging, particularly in patients with known malignancies. Approximately 50% of adrenal masses identified in individuals with extra-adrenal primary malignancies represent metastases, while benign adrenal lesions may coexist in patients with malignancy,...
