Contrast-enhanced ultrasound compared with computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography-computed tomography for diagnosing liver metastases in people with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer

Abstract

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound compared with computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography-computed tomography for diagnosing liver metastases in people with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (Protocol).

Clinical TNM staging for esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers in the era of neoadjuvant therapy: A systematic review of the literature

“…In PubMed, the search terms “esophageal cancer,” “gastric cancer,” “colorectal cancer,” and “TNM staging” were used. In MEDLINE, the search terms used in Cochrane Reviews were used (advanced search system, Appendix ) 27 . The relevance of each article was evaluated (by H. S., Y. H., S. O., and T. F.) and categorized as either relevant or irrelevant.…”

The Diagnostic Impact of Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) in Evaluating Lymph Node Involvement in Colorectal Cancer: A Comprehensive Review

“…Furthermore, the diagnostic performance of CECT can vary based on lymph node characteristics and tumour differentiation. Integrating CECT with advanced techniques such as radiomics and deep learning may further enhance its diagnostic capabilities [ 30 , 39 ]. Ultimately, the selection between CECT and MRI should be guided by the specific clinical context and the type of cancer being evaluated, considering the strengths and limitations of each modality.…”

“…The comparative analysis between CECT and other imaging modalities, specifically ultrasound (US), emphasizes distinct advantages and considerations for each technique. CECT, as elucidated in the provided sources, offers rapid imaging with immediate availability of images for interpretation, rendering it invaluable for assessing extra-hepatic tissues and organs [ 39 ]. It facilitates the characterization of focal liver lesions through enhancement patterns and enables volume estimation of the future liver remnant in cases of hepatic resection [ 39 ].…”

Ultrastretchable Organogel/Silicone Fiber-Helical Sensors for Self-Powered Implantable Ligament Strain Monitoring

“…In this way, individualized treatments can be developed for different injuries, while continuous monitoring of the mechanical behavior of tissue repair is also significant for human soft tissue rehabilitation . Currently, the extent of muscles and ligaments injuries can be assessed using imaging and spectroscopy techniques in hospitals. , However, these instruments are bulky, power-wasting, and limited in continuous monitoring . The desire for a better solution drives research into implantable sensors for continuous and real-time healthcare monitoring …”

“…5,6 However, these instruments are bulky, power-wasting, and limited in continuous monitoring. 7 The desire for a better solution drives research into implantable sensors for continuous and real-time healthcare monitoring. 8 Traditional implantable devices require surgical implantation of bulky devices and regular battery replacement.…”
