Impact of Add‐On Hepatobiliary Abbreviated Magnetic Resonance Imaging on Ultrasound Hepatoma Surveillance for Liver Cirrhosis‐ a Randomized Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance with semi‐annual ultrasound (US) is recommended for high‐risk patients. This study investigates the impact of hepatobiliary abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (AMRI) performed annually on the recommended US surveillance.

Usefulness of Gamma‐Glutamyl Transferase and Sequential Carbohydrate‐Deficient Transferrin for Unhealthy Alcohol Use Screening in Indigenous Communities

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) screening facilitates identification of patients with alcohol use problems for intervention. This study evaluates the usefulness of gamma‐glutamyl transferase (GGT) and sequential percentage of carbohydrate‐deficient transferrin (%CDT) in community screening for UAU.

Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease After Hepatitis C Virus Cure

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an infectious disease carrying a high risk of metabolic disorders. Chronic HCV (CHC) patients can possess extrahepatic manifestations such as diabetes, steatotic liver disease (SLD), and other metabolic alterations.

Quality Assurance of Point and 2D Shear Wave Elastography through the Establishment of Baseline Data Using Phantoms

Sensors
Ultrasound elastography has been available on most modern systems; however, the implementation of quality processes tends to be ad hoc. It is essential for a medical physicist to benchmark elastography measurements on each system and track them over time,
