DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY AND BREAST ULTRASONOGRAPHY IN PREDICTION OF RESPONSE TO NEOADJUVANT SYSTEMIC TREATMENT IN BREAST CANCER PATIENTS

Aim.The aim of our study was to assess the accuracy of a combination of digital mammography and breast ultrasonography in the prediction of response to neoadjuvant systemic treatment in breast cancer patients with different tumor subtypes.Methods.The study was designed as a retrospective diagnostic accuracy study.Stage here I-III female breast canc

Digital image correlation (DIC) is a typical non-contact full-field deformation parameters measurement technique based on image processing technology and numerical computation methods.To obtain the displacements of each point of interrogation in DIC, subsets surrounding the point must be chosen in the reference image and deformed image before corre

Diseases of the urinary bladder have high incidence rates and burden healthcare costs.Their pharmacological treatment involves systemic and local drug administration.The latter is generally accomplished through instillation of liquid formulations and requires repeated or long-term catheterization that is associated with discomfort, inflammation and

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) comprise a great variety of medical conditions, and the economic and sanitary burdens they cause are a major concern for the sanitary systems worldwide.Conventional rehabilitation is effective; however, with the rise of new technologies, it can be further improved.Anti-gravity treadmills are starting to enter the cli
