The aim of this study was to use MRI for dynamically assessing postprandial changes in hepatic and collateral blood flow, liver perfusion and oxygenation in healthy participants and patients with liver disease with compensated cirrhosis. The authors were able to...
Since estimated intracranial volume (eTIV) from FreeSurfer is calculated from the alignment of the input MR images to the MNI305 brain atlas, and is not segmentation-based, a concern was raised that this might lead to a bias by total brain volume. This study managed...
This study aimed to present and evaluate a new respiratory level biofeedback system that helps the patient to have a consistent breath-hold level. The results showed an increased reproducibility of breath-hold expiration level in healthy volunteers, indicating a...
Due to the fact that intraoperative blood loss is a common occurrence in splenectomy, the authors set out to compare the perioperative and clinical outcomes of splenic artery embolisation (SAE) prior to splenectomy versus splenectomy alone. On a total of 100 patients,...
The goal of this study was to examine the feasibility and accuracy of a novel dual-energy CT technique in measuring the electron density. By using dual-layer CT (DLCT), the authors investigated two approaches to obtain relative electron densities. The results showed...
