Abstract: BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disease worldwide. Recent studies have highlighted the use of simple vertebral trabecular attenuation values for opportunistic osteoporosis screening. Meanwhile, machine learning has been used to accurately segment large… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/02841851221093763
Abstract: Background Prior studies focused on utilization of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) to better detect intracranial pathology and to reduce artifacts. It is still unclear whether virtual non-contrast (VNC) images of DECT can replace true non-contrast… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.876340
Abstract: Objectives There is currently no established objective diagnostic indicator for the differentiation of sinus fungal ball (SFB) from unilateral nonfungal chronic sinusitis (UCRS). This study evaluated whether computed tomography (CT) attenuation values relative to those… read more here.
