Medical Imaging Research

KEY FINDING: Osteoporotic bone samples with lower BMD and thinner MTT exhibit higher frequency components in PA-TFSA.

KEY FINDING: The intensity of photoacoustic signals from microvessels varies depending on the direction of measurement, with the strongest signals observed in the direction of the vessel's width.

KEY FINDING: Conventional MRI may not consistently correlate with clinical findings post-SCI, prompting interest in microstructural and metabolic imaging.

KEY FINDING: The watershed segmentation method demonstrated lower precision error compared to the threshold-based edge detection method across all participant groups.

KEY FINDING: Neuropathic rats demonstrated an AFI-response to palpation, while naı¨ve rats did not.

KEY FINDING: After defecation, the UMNB group had significantly smaller rectal diameters and areas compared to the LMNB group.

KEY FINDING: Individuals with incomplete SCI showed increased brain sensorimotor activation during voluntary movement compared to healthy controls.

KEY FINDING: Participants with high neuropathic pain (HNP) showed significantly lower Glx/Ins ratios in the thalamus compared to those with low neuropathic pain (LNP).

KEY FINDING: CT scans accurately show the relationship between the abnormal bone and important structures like blood vessels and nerves.

KEY FINDING: Adding reliability masking to established post-processing steps increased the statistical power of clinical findings by 4.7%.
