Precision Imaging of Cardiac Function and Scar Size in Acute and Chronic Porcine Myocardial Infarction Using Ultral-high-field MRI

Precision Imaging of Cardiac Function and Infarct Scar Size: A Study with Ultrahigh-Field MRI in Acute and Chronic Porcine Models of Myocardial Infarction Research Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an accurate and highly reproducible technique for assessing cardiac function and volume. In recent years, ultrahigh-field (UHF) MRI...

Improving the Segmentation of Pediatric Low-Grade Gliomas through Multitask Learning

Improved Segmentation of Pediatric Low-Grade Gliomas Through Multitask Learning Background Introduction The segmentation of pediatric brain tumors is a critical task in tumor volume analysis and artificial intelligence algorithms. However, this process is time-consuming and requires the expertise of neuroradiologists. Although significant research ...

Bayesian Inference of Tissue Heterogeneity for Individualized Prediction of Glioma Growth

Personalized Prediction of Glioma Growth Using Bayesian Inference Introduction Glioblastoma is the most aggressive type of primary brain tumor, characterized by highly invasive tumor cells that spread to surrounding tissues. Conventional medical imaging techniques cannot precisely identify these diffuse tumor boundaries, leading to suboptimal clini...

Multi-Level Feature Exploration and Fusion Network for Prediction of IDH Status in Gliomas from MRI

Multi-Level Feature Exploration and Fusion Network for Prediction of IDH Status in MRI Background Glioma is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults. According to the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors, genotype plays a significant role in the classification of tumor subtypes, especially the isocitrate dehy...

Contemporary Cohort of Cerebral Cavernous Malformations: Natural History and Utility of Follow-Up MRI

Natural History and MRI Follow-up of Patients with Cerebral Cavernous Malformations Background Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular malformations of the brain and spinal cord lined by endothelial cells and lacking smooth muscle. Due to the disruption of endothelial cell permeability and tight junctions, patients may present with foc...

Influence of Peripheral Axon Geometry and Local Anatomy on Magnetostimulation Chronaxie

Influence of Peripheral Nerve Geometry and Local Anatomy on Magnetic Stimulation Time Constant Background Introduction Rapidly switching magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gradient fields produce sufficiently strong electric fields within the human body, leading to peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), which limits improvements in imaging speed and res...
