Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) play a pivotal role in modern material science, offering unique properties such as flexibility, substantial pore space, distinctive structure, and large surface area. R...
Ex vivo perfusion of transplant-declined human organs has emerged as a promising platform to study the response of an organ to novel therapeutic strategies. However, to fully realize the capability of...
We use ex vivo cold infusion scanning (EXCIS) with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) to quantify perfusion in kidneys preserved ex vivo. EXCIS-CT computes three complementary metrics for whol...
These metrics were applied to a series of six transplant-declined human kidneys, which demonstrated a range of anatomies and perfusion. Lastly, two transplant-declined human kidneys were imaged before...
EXCIS-CT provides metrics that can be used to characterize whole organ perfusion and vascular function....
A 5-year-old female alpaca was presented with respiratory distress and lethargy. Thoracic radiographs revealed a cranioventrally distributed alveolar pattern, caudodorsal bronchial pattern, cardiomega...
To evaluate the performance of Microsoft Bing with ChatGPT-4 technology in analyzing abdominal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance images (MRI)....
A comparative and descriptive analysis was conducted using the institutional picture archiving and communication systems. A total of 80 abdominal images (44 CT, 36 MRI) that showed various entities af...
Microsoft Bing detected that the images were CT scans with 95.4% accuracy (42/44) and that the images were MRI scans with 86.1% accuracy (31/36). However, it failed to detect one CT image (2.3%) and m...
While Microsoft Bing, leveraging ChatGPT-4 technology, demonstrates proficiency in basic task identification on abdominal CT and MRI, its inability to reliably interpret abnormalities highlights the n...
The contribution of large language models (LLMs) to the diagnostic process in radiology is still being explored. However, with a comprehensive understanding of their capabilities and limitations, LLMs...
The Total Calcification Score (TCS) is a visual rating scale to measure Primary Familial Brain Calcification (PFBC) related calcification severity on Computed Tomography (CT). We investigated the inte...
Patients aged ≥18 years with PFBC or Fahr's syndrome who visited the outpatient clinic of a Dutch academic hospital were included. The TCS was modified, for example by adding hippocampal calcification...
Forty patients were included (mean age 60 years, 53% female). The median modified TCS was 34 (range 4-76). For all EPA levels, the interrater agreement of the modified TCS was excellent (ICC=0.97 (95%...
The modified TCS can be used with excellent reproducibility of the overall amount of brain calcifications and with limited training, although for some individual calcification locations more expertise...
CI, Confidence Interval; CT, Computed Tomography; EPA, Entrustable Professional Activity; IBGC, Idiopathic Basal Ganglia Calcification; ICC, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient; IQR, Interquartile Rang...
This paper investigates the impact of element size on the microstructure of the steel-concrete interface in self-compacting concrete (SCC). Experiments were conducted on two types of test elements: a ...
The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and fog computing architectures has introduced major security and cyber threats. Intrusion detection systems have become effective in monitoring n...
An understanding of the anatomical structure is crucial for completing successful endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery. This study aimed to precisely delineate the spatial relationship betwe...
This retrospective cross-sectional study included 110 Han Chinese patients diagnosed with unilateral primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) from January 2021 to June 2023. This study w...
The prevalence of ANC in this study was 90.9% (100/110). Dynamic examination revealed that only 42.7% (47/110) of ANCs appeared as discrete cells, while the majority were connected to nearby sinus ope...
More than half of the ANCs exhibited overlap with the lacrimal sac, suggesting a significant proportion may necessitate opening during endoscopic DCR procedures. ANCs are often interconnected with adj...
Abnormal deposition or aggregation of protein alpha-synuclein and tau in the brain leads to neurodegenerative disorders. Excessive hyperphosphorylation of tau protein and aggregations destroys the mic...
