Noninvasive prognostic biomarkers are needed for patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We evaluated whether ultrasound-derived spatial heterogeneity indices (SHI) from intra- and peritumoral regions of liver metastases from solid cancers-measured at baseline, at first evaluation, and...

To construct an imaging model based on preoperative gadoxetic acid- enhanced MRI for predicting lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) and explore its impact on survival. Method: A total of 91 patients with CRLM were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The liver...

Fatty pancreas disease (FPD) is closely associated with the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer (PC) and diabetes mellitus (DM). However, current imaging modalities for assessing intra-pancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) have limitations and are not widely used in clinical practice. Developing a practical...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated hepatic steatosis, the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, poses a growing public health challenge due to its high global incidence and risk of progression to cirrhosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate, using Doppler ultrasound, hemodynamic changes...

Pain assessment in animal models is challenging, as behavioral tests often lack sensitivity. Particularly under analgesia, it is unclear whether pain occurs without medication. Imaging of pain-associated pathways, such as σ1 receptor (σ1R) expression, offers a promising approach to better...
