CTG-Net: An Efficient Cascaded Framework Driven by Terminal Guidance Mechanism for Dilated Pancreatic Duct Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Pancreatic duct dilation indicates a high risk of various pancreatic diseases. Segmentation of dilated pancreatic ducts on computed tomography (CT) images shows the potential to assist the early diagnosis, surgical planning and prognosis. Because of the ducts' tiny sizes, slender tubular structures and the surrounding distractions, most current ...

The rare case of a cystic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor
Autopsy and Case Reports, 2021 The pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) most commonly present as solid neoplasms; however, very rarely, they may present primarily as cystic neoplasms. Most of the cystic PanNETs are non-secreting tumors, and the radiological features are not well
