Development and External Validation of an Efficient Deep Learning Model for Lesion Segmentation and Subtyping of Hepatic Echinococcosis in Ultrasound Imaging [PDF]
Background Hepatic echinococcosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease common in remote, resource‐limited pastoral regions. It mainly appears as cystic echinococcosis (CE), due to Echinococcus granulosus, and alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features of Hepatic Hydatid Disease: A Pictorial Review with Emphasis on Atypical Presentations and Differential Diagnosis [PDF]
Hepatic echinococcosis, caused by Echinococcus species, remains a significant global health concern, with cystic echinococcosis (CE) being widespread and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) representing a rarer but more aggressive form.

Comparison of ultrasonographic features between two types of hepatic echinococcosis and hepatoblastoma in children [PDF]
IntroductionThe prevalence of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE) is notably high among children in western China, with the mortality rate for untreated children potentially reaching up to 90%. Meanwhile, hepatoblastoma is

Multilocular hepatic echinococcosis mimicking hepatic malignancy in a child: A diagnostic dilemma [PDF]
Multilocular (alveolar) hepatic echinococcosis is an uncommon parasitic disease that may closely resemble malignant hepatic tumors because of its infiltrative growth pattern and complex internal architecture.

Hepatic echinococcosis: Clinical and therapeutic aspects
Echinococcosis or hydatid disease (HD) is a zoonosis caused by the larval stages of taeniid cestodes belonging to the genus Echinococcus. Hepatic echinococcosis is a life-threatening disease, mainly differentiated into alveolar and cystic forms, associated with Echinoccus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) and Echinococcus granulosus (E.
