Sustainability in medical imaging and radiotherapy education and practice: a su...

Higher education institutions play an important role as they prepare the professionals, decision-makers, and democratic citizens of the future. In Allied Health education, it is crucial to develop a professional that, in addition to the technical and clinical content, also have a critical sense regarding environmental and social aspects. This study aims to survey medical imaging and radiotherapy (MIR) students’...

Editorial for “Three‐dimensional multifrequency MR elastography for microvascul...

The prognosis of individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), the most prevalent primary liver malignancy, is closely linked to the aggressiveness and recurrence of the tumor. The occurrence of complications after surgery continues to be a major and persistent challenge. MR elastography (MRE) employs a modified phase-contrast imaging sequence, combined with the use of an external driver to transmit mechanical...

Avaliação dos resultados da aplicação combinada do ultrassom e da drenagem linf...

O fibro-edema gelóide (FEG), popularmente conhecido como celulite, é uma alteração comum da topografia da pele que reflete disfunções precoces nos sistemas vascular e/ou metabólico e conjuntivo, afetando milhões de pessoas no mundo, predominantemente mulheres. A partir de perspetivas em saúde cada vez mais holísticas e integrativas, poder-se-á usar o FEG como indicador precoce para doenças cardiovasculares e me...

Osseodensification vs. Conventional Osteotomy: A case series with cone beam com...

Osseodensification is a non-extraction technique using specially designed drills to increase bone density while extending an osteotomy, allowing bone to be preserved and condensed by compacting autograft during osteotomy preparation, increasing bone density around implants, and improving mechanical stability. The objective of this study is to compare conventional osteotomy and osseodensification protocols in im...

Editorial for “Detecting adverse pathology of prostate cancer with a deep learn...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most prevalent cancer among men worldwide. Timely and accurate diagnosis is important to avoid overtreatment of men with indolent, clinically insignificant PCa and to offer radical curative treatment with life-threatening, clinically significant PCa. Radical prostatectomy (RP) has become the standard care for eligible patients because of its cancer control and improved surviv...

Editorial for “3D breast cancer segmentation in DCE‐MRI using deep learning wit...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows higher diagnostic performance in the detection of breast tumors, compared with other imaging modalities. Breast MRI protocols include dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) images with high spatial and temporal resolution and are central indiagnosis, staging, and follow-up of breast cancer. DCE features provide physiological and anatomical lesion characteristics. To extract these...

Associations between nutrition, energy expenditure and energy availability with...

Three years of study showed that female and male vocational dancers displayed lower bone mass compared to controls, at forearm, lumbar spine and femoral neck. Energy intake was found to positively predict bone mass accruals only in female dancers at femoral neck. Vocational dancers can be a risk population to develop osteoporosis.
