Medical Imaging Research

KEY FINDING: FC strength between the primary motor cortex and the precuneus correlated significantly positively with CMCT, indicating a relationship between motor function and brain connectivity.

KEY FINDING: The study achieved high average dice coefficient values for cervical spine segmentation (C1-C7), indicating accurate automated identification of these regions on X-rays.

KEY FINDING: The bright-ferritin mechanism allows for high-resolution, specific, and on-demand longitudinal tracking of hNPCs grafts in the rat spinal cord.

KEY FINDING: Significant increases in Hounsfield units (HU) were observed at the vertebral body, pedicle, and spinal cord at the lowest instrumented vertebra level for both carbon-fiber (CF) and titanium implants.

KEY FINDING: PLA microbubbles can be successfully imaged and burst in a spinal cord injury model using clinical ultrasound.

KEY FINDING: SCIWORA is more prevalent in Chinese children under eight years old, with a higher incidence in females than males.

KEY FINDING: The accuracy of the proposed TAE-PIS system is 98.12% which is higher when compared to other methods like Genetic algorithm, Convolution neural network, fuzzy-based minimum and maximum neural network and kernel-based support vector machine respectively.

KEY FINDING: The location of the cervical kyphosis apex relative to the spinal cord compression point affects the clinical outcomes and sagittal parameters after ACDF.

KEY FINDING: A Shar-Pei dog developed radiofrequency-induced thermal burns in both axillae following an MRI examination.

KEY FINDING: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers high-resolution, cross-sectional images of inhomogeneous structures like soft biological tissues on a microscopic level, as well as in 3-D.
