Texture Analysis of MRI Scans for Post-embolization Evaluation

Texture Analysis of MRI Scans for Post-embolization Evaluation 1500 1072 Cardiopulmonary Systems (CSPE)

Anne Humeau-Heurtier and colleagues recently published an article “Three-dimensional dispersion entropy for uterine fibroid texture quantification and post-embolization evaluation” in Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine.

Highlights

  • Uterine fibroids can be treated with uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) procedure.
  • Objectively assessing the benefits of UFE and the quality of life of patients after undergoing UFE is rather challenging.
  • We propose a new multiscale 3D entropy-based texture analysis method (MDispEn3D).
  • Relationships are found between MDispEn3D results for uterine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and patients’ quality of life.
  • MDispE3D could help in the prognosis of uterine fibroids and in follow-up evaluation after the embolization.
