Two-step postoperative ultrasound for early detection of ureteral obstruction after benign hysterectomy
Uro Imaging 6 min.
Hysterectomy is one of the most commonly performed major operations in gynecologic surgery, with reported overall complication rates ranging from 3% to 6% [1]. Among these complications, such as hemorrhage, infection, and bladder injury, ureteral injury and obstruction represent some of the most serious...
MRI-based patient selection for active surveillance in prostate cancer using U-Found: a generalized deep learning model
Uro Imaging 5 min.
Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate has improved prostate cancer detection, resulting in the diagnosis of 30% more high-risk cancers than standard template biopsies [1]. The Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) mpMRI assessment [2], as well as numerous computer-aided diagnosis...
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,...
