Echocardiography and inflammatory biomarkers for predicting mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events in type 1 diabetes
Uro Imaging 6 min.
Despite major advances in diabetes care, life expectancy in individuals with type 1 diabetes remains ~ 13 years shorter than in the general population, largely driven by excess cardiovascular mortality [1, 2]. This gap highlights the urgent need for improved risk stratification strategies to identify...
The potential of real-time ultrasound screen viewing to reduce pain and anxiety symptoms during transperineal prostate biopsy under local anesthesia: a prospective non-randomized observational study
Uro Imaging 3 min.
Prostate cancer, accounting for 29% of cases, is the most frequently diagnosed cancer type among men and ranks second after lung cancer in cancer-related mortality [1]. It is possible to perform an ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, which remains the standard of care for the definitive diagnosis of this...
Unsupervised cycle-consistent network for 3D pelvic mono- or multimodal deformable image registration
Uro Imaging 5 min.
Image registration is a crucial task in medical image processing and is aimed at aligning anatomical structures between fixed and moving images [1, 2]. In radiotherapy, it plays an essential role in various clinical applications across both monomodal and multimodal imaging scenarios, such as image fusion,...
Role of intravascular ultrasound use in patients undergoing endovascular aortoiliac aneurysm repair
Uro Imaging 4 min.
Endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms (EVAR) has been a common practice worldwide since the first report by Juan Parodi in 1991. Since this initial disclosure, several innovators have worked on broadening the indications of EVAR in treating patients with complex anatomy [1, 2] The initial utilization...
Dual deep learning approach for non-invasive renal tumour subtyping with VERDICT-MRI
Uro Imaging 4 min.
Renal cancer accounts for roughly 2% of all cancer diagnoses and deaths worldwide1. Over 90% of primary renal cancers are renal cell carcinoma (RCC), arising from the renal tubule epithelium2. The 2022 WHO classification subdivides RCC into 21 different histotypes of which the commonest are clear-cell...
