Development and validation of a clinical prediction model for fatty pancreas disease: from CT-based indicators to an easy-to-use prediction application
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
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...
Doppler ultrasound assessment of hepatic hemodynamics in hepatic steatosis: a case-control study
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
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...
[ą?F]Fluspidine PET/CT imaging to assess postoperative pain-associated ?1 receptor expression in female rats under analgesia
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
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...
Investigation of cellular senescence in the mouse liver caused by low dose fractionated X-ray therapy
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
The expanding use of medical diagnostics and radiotherapy has increased public exposure to low dose ionizing radiation (LDIR). A more clinically pressing concern, however, is the unintended irradiation of normal tissues adjacent to the radiotherapy target. Notably, the biological effects of lower cumulative...
Rectal and Rectosigmoid Endoscopy to Assess Endoscopic and Histological Remission in Ulcerative Colitis: A Prospective Study
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Despite increasing interest in endoscopic and histological remission as a treatment target in ulcerative colitis (UC), the accuracy of endoscopic and histological findings in the left colon and/or rectum to detect pancolonic remission is poorly known. We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of rectosigmoidoscopy...
