3D printing for heart valve disease

Inspired by the fast-increasing use of three-dimensional (3D) printing for medical purposes, this review evaluates the currently available literature on the use of 3D printing in the management of cardiac valve disease. Article: 3D printing for heart valve disease: a...

3D CNNs applied to CT angiography in acute ischemic stroke

The goal of this study was to examine whether computed tomography angiography source images obtained through three-dimensional convolutional neural networks can help detect ischemic stroke. Article: 3D convolutional neural networks applied to CT angiography in the...

Compressed sensing and parallel MRI for bowel motility imaging

The authors analysed compressed sensing and parallel imaging (CS-PI)-accelerated bowel motility magnetic resonance imaging. They also compared its image and diagnostic quality to conventional sensitivity encoding (SENSE) accelerated scans and found no advantages of...

Predicting event-free survival in children with neuroblastic tumours

The authors of this study examined the potential use of diffusion-weighted imaging for non-invasive prediction of tumour dignity and prognosis in paediatric patients with neuroblastic tumours. Article: Quantitative DWI predicts event-free survival in children with...

Evolution of prostate MRI

Using the available evidence and the evolution of PI-RADS, the authors reviewed the main technical strategies proposed as less-is-better solutions for clinical practice. The study also summarised research results on advanced techniques which represent an alternative...
