Hybrid method for estimating lung ventilation from CT by combining intensity and motion information
Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Functional lung imaging modalities allow for capturing regional lung ventilation information. Computed Tomography based ventilation imaging (CTVI) has been proposed as a surrogate modality that relies on time‐resolved anatomical data and image processing. However, generating accurate ventilation maps using solely computed tomography

Indocyanine green fluorescence‐guided sentinel lymph node biopsy: A systematic review
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives Accurate staging of cervical lymph nodes is crucial in the management of head and neck cancers (HNCs). Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) offers a minimally invasive alternative to neck dissection for identifying occult metastases. This review aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence ...
