Ensemble deep learning model for accurate assessment of renal fibrosis in chronic kidney disease using two-dimensional shear wave elastography images
Uro Imaging 4 min.
Renal fibrosis (RF) is a significant risk factor for poor prognosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) [1, 2]. Accurate assessment of RF is crucial for the diagnosis and management of CKD. Renal biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing RF, but it is an invasive procedure associated with risks such...
Collagen-targeted tracers for molecular imaging of atrial fibrosis and sensitive detection of atrial fibrillation
Uro Imaging 9 min.
Cardiac arrhythmias have reached epidemic levels around the globe1. In particular, hospitalisation due to atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, has almost doubled over the past 30 years and its burden has surpassed other cardiovascular conditions, such as myocardial infarction...
Redefining AT1 Receptor PET Imaging: Introducing the Radiotracer [18F]DR29.
Uro Imaging 1 min.
AT1R (angiotensin II type 1 receptors) are central to the renin-angiotensin system and are involved in regulating blood pressure and renal physiology. This study introduces [18F]DR29, a fluorine-18-labeled radiotracer for positron emission tomography imaging, to enable noninvasive visualization of AT1R...
Efficacy of PSMA PET/CT radiomics analysis for risk stratification in newly diagnosed prostate cancer: a multicenter study
Uro Imaging 5 min.
Accurate risk stratification of prostate cancer is crucial for guiding treatment decisions. While digital rectal examination and prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels are typically used for PCa screening, a definitive diagnosis requires histopathological confirmation through prostate biopsy cores [1]....
