Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare obliterative cholangiopathy and Kasai portoenterostomy (KP) represents its first-line treatment; clinical and laboratory parameters together with abdominal ultrasound (US) are usually performed during the follow-up. Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is able to evaluate liver parenchyma stiffness; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has also been proposed to study these patients. ⋯ US, SWE, and MRI findings correlate with the medical outcome in native liver survivor patients with BA treated with KP.

Histogram analysis in prostate cancer: a comparison of diffusion kurtosis imaging model versus monoexponential model.
There is still little research about histogram analysis of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) using in prostate cancer at present. ⋯ Histogram analysis of DKI model is feasible for diagnosing and grading prostate cancer, but it has no significant advantage over MEM.
