... The inclusion criteria were as follows [15][16][17]: (1) premenopausal women over 18 years of age with a clinical and imaging diagnosis of uterine fibroids; (2) first-time HIFU ablation treatment; (3) HIFU-treated single fibroid or the largest in multiple fibroids to facilitate follow-up surveys; (4) MRI examination performed within 3 days before and after HIFU ablation; (5) no previous history of surgery or medication. The exclusion criteria were as follows [17][18][19]: (1) the MRI sequences were incomplete, or some images were missing, which might result in an inability to segment the tumor; (2) MR image quality was poor, which might affect the accuracy of feature extraction; (3) missed visits for various reasons, which might result in an inability to trace reintervention information; (4) reintervention of non-fibroid factors, such as the patient's psychological factors, fertility requirements, other surgical indications, suspected uterine sarcoma, etc., which might affect the accuracy of grouping; (5) symptomatic recurrence and/or increased fibroid volume, but no decision has been made to undergo reintervention. ...

... Radiomics allows for thorough assessment of tumor heterogeneity at the microscopic scale by extracting numerous quantitative features from images and has shown significant capability in evaluating HCC characteristics [8]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for non-invasively characterizing HCC, providing exceptional soft-tissue resolution and revealing the heterogeneity of HCC more accurately than other imaging techniques [8,9]. ...

... This is because some musculoskeletal diseases may have similar imaging findings of conventional MRI of T1-and T2-weighted images, which can limit the diagnostic specificity [1,2]. The primary role of DWI and ADC values in musculoskeletal radiology has been evaluated for tumorous diseases related to cellularity, such as the differentiation of benign and malignant tumors , determination of therapeutic response [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], and identification of recurrent disease [38,39]. Additionally, DWI has been used for non-tumorous diseases such as infection [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] and inflammation [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. ...

... To better understand the function of IL-22 on the intestine, we thought to take a closer look at its dynamic expression profile and cellular origin under specific inflammation context. Intestinal failure during SAP leads to systemic inflammation in the early phase and can induce bacterial translocation and secondary infection, 8 which has drawn increasing attention in the last decade. Protecting intestinal barrier function in SAP improves disease prognosis. ...

... Ishikawa et al. [7] proposed in addition to the previous classification another subfascial plane situated between the posterior pararenal space and transversalis fascia, and this plane is connected by a narrow passage to the retrorenal plane. Ishikawa et al. [7] found the CT-based classification of acute pancreatitis based on retroperitoneal extension with the idea of subfascial planes as a useful indicator of disease severity and prognosis [8]. ...

... Meskipun MRCP memiliki resolusi spasial yang terbatas dibandingkan dengan ERCP, tetapi resolusi kontras yang tinggi pada MRCP memungkinkan deteksi batu-batu sekecil 2 mm. 6,[17][18][19] Dalam gambaran MRI perlu dibedakan antara batu saluran empedu dan udara. Kedua objek ini memiliki low signal pada hasil T2 weighted sehingga tampak sebagai filling defect di saluran empedu. ...

... Kurtosis, on the other hand, characterises the degree of spikiness of the grey-scale distribution of the image. Many studies [25][26][27][28][29] have delved into the relationship between rst-order features and pancreatic tumours based on different MRI sequences and CT images. Therefore, the present study focused on distinguishing between high and low mesothelin expression in pancreatic cancer, which may involve regions of high mesothelin expression presenting stronger variations at the grey level. ...

... According to the type of biliary duct and main pancreatic duct joining the duodenal wall, the prevalence of acute pancreatitis in the V type and in the B-P type was higher than in the P-B type (12/17 vs. 10/29, or 18/26 vs. 10/29, respectively, all P < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in the prevalence of acute pancreatitis between the V type and B-P type (P > 0.05). The APJ were 59.32° ± 20.04°, 60.22° ± 11.06°, 57.13° ± 17.27°, respectively in V type, B-P type and P-B type joining of the main pancreatic duct (P > 0.05) [12]. We did not find any correlation between the age and size of the angle between common bile duct and the major pancreas duct (P = 0.782). ...

... Our results suggested that the more irregular the shape of the tumor, the higher the possibility of the preoperative understaging of patients. It has been proven that the tumor length and tumor thickness of ESCC are positively correlated with T stage (19,31) and lymphatic metastasis (32,33). The present study demonstrated that tumor length and tumor thickness were also covariates for preoperative understaging in patients with cT1-2N0 ESCC. ...
