The Future of Urodynamics: Innovations, Challenges, and Possibilities

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Urodynamic studies (UDS) are essential for evaluating lower urinary tract function but are limited by patient discomfort, lack of standardization and diagnostic variability. Advances in technology aim to address these challenges and improve diagnostic accuracy and patient comfort.

Multifrequency Multiparameter Magnetic Resonance Elastography Applied to an In Vivo Porcine Model for Assessing Portal Hypertension

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Portal hypertension, a critical complication in chronic liver disease, has long relied on invasive hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement for definitive diagnosis. This study establishes that multifrequency three‐dimensional magnetic resonance elastography (3D‐MRE) can noninvasively quantify portal pressure, with splenic stiffness and loss ...

Hepatic fibrosis in patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis receiving methotrexate: A cross‐sectional analysis using transient elastography

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Hepatic fibrosis and metabolic syndrome are more prevalent in PsA patients treated with methotrexate, compared to RA patients. Metabolic syndrome is associated with the risk of hepatic fibrosis in patients diagnosed with PsA and RA even after adjustment forcumulative methotrexate exposure.

The Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Shear Wave Elastography in Pancreatic Diseases

Diagnostics
Elastography is a non-invasive imaging modality that has been developed for the evaluation of the stiffness of various organs. It is categorized into two main types: strain elastography and shear wave elastography.

Barriers to Medical Care Are Frequently Reported by Patients With Cirrhosis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In a telephone‐based survey study among > 1000 patients with cirrhosis, the most frequent barriers to care included time to travel to clinic, long wait times for appointments, and difficulty scheduling visits. Several barriers to care significantly differed by study site but were generally consistent across racial and ethnic subgroups.

The Hepatic Steatosis Diagnostic Performance Using Attenuation Imaging With the Magnetic Resonance Imaging‐Based Proton Density Fat Fraction as the Reference Standard: A Large, Prospective, Multicenter Cohort Study in Japan

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
In a multicenter cohort of 1059 patients, attenuation imaging (ATI) showed good diagnostic performance and strong correlation with MRI‐PDFF, supporting its value as a noninvasive method for evaluating hepatic steatosis. ABSTRACT Background Attenuation imaging (ATI) is used for the noninvasive diagnosis of hepatic steatosis (HS) based on the ultrasound ...

Cavitation induced shear wave elastography

Physics of Fluids
In cavitation induced shear wave elastography (CSWE), the stiffness of transparent soft matter can be imaged in the sub-millimeter scale through cavitation events. The shear wave is emitted by a laser-generated cavitation bubble expanding and collapsing close to a rigid boundary. The speed of shear wave is governed by the stiffness of the material. The

Free‐Breathing, 3D Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Elastography for Myocardial Stiffness Mapping

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 2356-2369, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) of the heart has predominantly utilized breath‐held acquisitions with limited anatomic coverage. This work investigates the feasibility of 3D, free‐breathing cardiac MRE. Methods A 3D hybrid radial and EPI acquisition is utilized and combined with retrospective binning of k‐space via physiologic ...
