Due to their similar imaging features, high-grade gliomas (HGGs) and solitary brain metastases (BMs) can be easily misclassified. The peritumoral zone (PZ) of HGGs develops neoplastic cell infiltration, while in BMs the PZ contains pure vasogenic edema. As two PZs cannot differentiated macroscopically, this study investigated whether computed tomography (CT)-based texture analysis (TA) reflect histological difference between entities. Thirty-six patients with tumors (HGGs, n = 17; BMs, 19)...

The classic ultrasonographic differentiation between benign and malignant adnexal masses encounters several limitations. Ultrasonography-based texture analysis (USTA) offers a new perspective, but its role has been incompletely evaluated. This study aimed to further investigate USTA’s capacity in differentiating from tumors, as well comparing the workflow results with previously-published research. A total of 123 lesions (benign, 88; malignant, 35) were retrospectively included. USTA was...

High-grade gliomas (HGGs) and solitary brain metastases (BMs) have similar imaging appearances, which often leads to misclassification. In HGGs, the surrounding tissues show malignant invasion, while BMs tend displace adjacent area. The edema produced by two cannot be differentiated conventional magnetic resonance (MRI) examinations. Forty-two patients with pathology-proven tumors who underwent pretreatment MRIs were retrospectively included (HGGs, n = 16; BMs, 26). Texture analysis of...

Fifty-two patients with histologically proven (n=29) (n=23)...

Pathological analysis of ovarian cysts shows specific fluid characteristics that cannot be standardly evaluated on computer tomography (CT) examinations. This study aimed to assess the cysts’ attenuation values native (Np), arterial (Ap), and venous (Vp) contrast phases seventy patients with who underwent CT examinations were retrospectively included in this study. Patients divided according their final diagnosis into benign group (n = 32) malignant 38; which 27 primary 11 secondary...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance radiomic features extracted from standardized hybrid contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) data for assessment hormone receptor status, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) tumor grade and Ki-67 in patients with primary breast cancer. This prospective included 72 biopsy-proven cancer who underwent CEUS examinations between October 2020 September 2021. A analysis found WavEnHH_s_4 parameter as an independent predictor...

The purpose of this study was to assess whether total tumor diameter (TTD) and multifocality are predictors for metastatic disease in papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMC). Eighty-two patients with histologically proven PTMC were retrospectively included. Patients divided according the presence (n = 41) non-metastatic demographic-matched group. morphological features PTMCs (primary diameter, multifocality, TTD, number foci, site) compared between groups using univariate, multivariate,...

The commonly used magnetic resonance (MRI) criteria can be insufficient for discriminating mucinous from non-mucinous pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs). histological differences between PCLs’ fluid composition may reflected in MRI images, but cannot assessed by visual evaluation alone. We investigate whether additional quantitative parameters such as signal intensity measurements (SIMs) and radiomics texture analysis (TA) aid the differentiation PCLs. Fifty-nine PCLs (mucinous, n = 24;...

The magnetic resonance (MRI) diagnosis of chronic prostatitis (CP) is insufficiently evaluated.To evaluate the MRI appearance CP in young patients by comparing it to individuals with non-prostatic related pathology.The study included 47 prostatitis-like symptoms evaluated urologists and referred pelvic examination (mean age=40.23±7 years; age range=23-49 years) 93 age-matched pathology age=37.5±7 range=21-49 years). All examinations were performed on a 1.5-T machine using prostate-specific...
