Background and purpose: To analyze the time course of late rectal- and urinary bladder complications after brachytherapy for cervical cancer and to compare the incidence- and prevalence rates thereof. Patients and methods: A total of 225 patients were treated with external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) ...

This randomized clinical trial assesses the effects of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) plus MRI-guided fibrosis ablation compared with PVI alone in
An active surveillance (AS) strategy after the diagnosis of low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) aims to defer or even avoid radical treatment with its associated side effects. Currently available long-term data show that AS has excellent long-term outcomes with cancer-specific survival rates of more ...
This pilot study examined the hypothesis that magnetic resonance imaging T2 relaxation times of specific brain regions increase after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and that these increases are related to the cognitive side effects of ECT. Six depressed patients undergoing unilateral ECT were studied. ...
The training was terminated after 500 epochs. The training process is illustrated in Fig. 3. Figure 3 Overview of the training process. The model takes the noisy image as input and produces a denoised image as output. The SURE loss is calculated by considering the noisy input image, the ...
We also did not examine effects of de-facing on any regions outside the brain; we recognize that some research involving non-brain regions in brain MRI may be hindered or prevented by most de-facing software. For example, applying de-facing to imaging datasets of intraocular tumors would ...
Cognitive performance was tested outside the SMF, and no significant changes were detected. Conclusion This study suggests that any effects on cognitive functions are acute and transient and disappear rapidly after exposure has ended. All complaints, except for headaches, were more frequently reported ...
When assessment was not agreed a second retest was done side by side to reach agreement. After the MRI examinations, the FSUs were frozen and stored in a -20 °C freezer for at least 12 h. The frozen specimens were then sectioned into 3–4 mm thick sagittal slices, using a bench saw...
Ovarian hormones have substantial effects on the brain, and early menopause has been associated with increased risk of accelerated brain aging and dementia later in life. However, the impact of ovarian hormone fluctuations on brain structure earlier in l
