Analysis of different grading scales in MRI evaluation of endolymphatic hydrops
Ménière’s disease (MD) is a common chronic condition characterised by fluctuating low-frequency hearing loss, intermittent vertigo, tinnitus and ear fullness. Endolymphatic hydrops (EH) refers to…
Can radiomics predict therapy response in cervical cancer cases?
Cervical cancer represents the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women, with 311,000 deaths in 2018 worldwide. Treatment depends mainly on the stage at…
Can ultrasound techniques predict neonatal respiratory distress syndrome?
Approximately 7.3% of all live births in Egypt are premature; meaning they are born before 37 weeks of gestation1. One of the most significant complications…
