Existing anonymity systems sacrifice anonymity for efficient communication or vice-versa. Onion-routing achieves low latency, high bandwidth, and scalable anonymous communication, but is susceptible to traffic analysis attacks. Designs based on DC-Nets, on the other hand, protect the users against traffic analysis attacks, but sacrifice bandwidth. ...
Ultra-high field (≥ 7-Tesla) MR imaging of the hippocampus enhances the visualization of its internal substructures and of localized changes observed in various neurological disorders. Among these substructures, the cornu Ammonis and subiculum form a contiguous folded ribbon of gray matter. Here, we propose a method to analyze local thickness measu...

Background: Some brain tumors such as ependymoma and Medulloblastoma have similar MR images which may result to undifferentiated them from each other. Objective: This study aimed to compare the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of two different cerebellar pediatric tumors, including ependymoma and medulloblastoma which have shown similar clinica...

Background The aim of this study was to verify whether the combined classification of increased signal intensity (ISI) on magnetic resonance imaging is more closely related to surgical outcomes than signal quality changes or signal longitudinal extent changes alone and to evaluate whether the combined classification ISI method could be used to pred...

Bone disease is the hallmark of multiple myeloma. Skeletal lesions are evaluated to establish the diagnosis, to choose the therapies and also to assess the response to treatments. Due to this, imaging procedures play a key-role in the management of multiple myeloma. For decades, conventional radiography has been the standard imaging modality. Subse...

Brain tumour segmentation aims to separate the various types of tumour tissues like active cells, necrotic core, and edema from normal brain tissues of substantia alba (WM), grey matter (GM), and spinal fluid (CSF). Magnetic Resonance Imaging based brain tumour segmentation studies are attracting more and more attention in recent years thanks to no...

BackgroundDystrophinopathies are the most common type of inherited muscular diseases. Muscle biopsy and genetic tests are effective to diagnose the disease but cost much more than primary hospitals can reach. The more available muscle MRI is promising but its diagnostic results highly depends on doctors’ experiences. This study intends to explore a...

Background The aim of this study was to explore the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manifestations of new-onset rib fractures and determine the utility of MRI through a comparative study of MRI and computed tomography (CT). Material/Methods Twenty-one patients with mild chest trauma who sought medical care from February 2019 to June 2020 were incl...

Background The medium-term effects of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on organ health, exercise capacity, cognition, quality of life and mental health are poorly understood. Methods Fifty-eight COVID-19 patients post-hospital discharge and 30 age, sex, body mass index comorbidity-matched controls were enrolled for multiorgan (brain, lungs, heart, li...

The aim of this study is to review the literature concerning myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) with cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), with regards to its prevalence, characteristics and clinical relevance. We performed a systematic search, aiming to retrieve original articles that evaluated LGE in ToF...
