Preliminary Application of Shear Wave Dispersion Imaging in Differentiating Benign and Malignant Liver Tumors

Preliminary Application of Shear Wave Dispersion Imaging in Differentiating Benign and Malignant Liver Tumors

Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a new ultrasound technology developed in recent years, widely used in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of diseases of the liver, breast, thyroid, prostate, and others[1]. The limitation of SWE lies in the algorithms for assessing tissue elasticity, which neglect the impact of tissue viscosity. Viscosity can also characterize the … Read more

MRI Imaging Methods and Common Disease Abbreviations

MRI Imaging Methods and Common Disease Abbreviations

MRI Imaging Methods The MRI image is formed by reconstructing signals generated from the resonance of hydrogen nuclei in a magnetic field. Therefore, the concept used in MRI images is “signal,” rather than the “density” concept used in CT images. In MRI images, lesions are described using the term “abnormal signal focus.” Because the imaging … Read more

Principles and Clinical Applications of Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI and ADC)

Principles and Clinical Applications of Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI and ADC)

What is Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging? Various magnetic resonance imaging techniques based primarily on conventional T1WI and T2WI mainly display the morphological structures of human organs or tissues and their signal intensity changes, collectively referred to as conventional MRI examinations or conventional MR imaging sequences.

3D Printing Technology: Empowering Precision Personalized Medicine

3D Printing Technology: Empowering Precision Personalized Medicine

In 1979, the concept of using 3D medical imaging, particularly reconstructing physical models from computed tomography data, was first proposed. Although there were no rapid prototyping or 3D printing systems at that time, the idea could be realized through subtractive manufacturing or milling. Before the advent of 3D printers, the primary method for creating prototype … Read more
