Zero-Shot Self-Supervised Learning of Single Breath-Hold Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) Reconstruction. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate the feasibility of zero‐shot self‐supervised learning reconstruction for reducing breath‐hold times in magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Methods Breath‐hold MRCP was acquired from 11 healthy volunteers on 3T scanners using an incoherent k‐space sampling pattern, leading to a 14‐s acquisition time and an

The Academic Backbone: longitudinal continuities in educational achievement from secondary school and medical school to MRCP(UK) and the specialist register in UK medical students and doctors. [PDF]
Selection of medical students in the UK is still largely based on prior academic achievement, although doubts have been expressed as to whether performance in earlier life is predictive of outcomes later in medical school or post-graduate education. This

The standard error of measurement is a more appropriate measure of quality for postgraduate medical assessments than is reliability: an analysis of MRCP(UK) examinations [PDF]
Background: Cronbach's alpha is widely used as the preferred index of reliability for medical postgraduate examinations. A value of 0.8-0.9 is seen by providers and regulators alike as an adequate demonstration of acceptable reliability for any ...

Application value of deep learning-based rapid MRCP imaging in examination of patients with breath holding difficulties [PDF]
Objective To compare the image quality of rapid deep learning (RDL)-based three-dimensional (3D) breath holding (BH) magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and that of conventional 3D BH MRCP in patients unable to cooperate with breath ...

AIDS Cholangiopathy – Diagnostic imaging features
It is important to emphasize that the presence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary stenotic foci in an HIV-positive patient with low CD4 count suggests a possibility of AIDS-associated cholangiopathy, which may be an indicator of progression of the ...
