Abstract Objectives The aim of this single-centre, observational, retrospective study is to find a correlation using Radiomics between the analysis CT texture features primary lesion neuroendocrine (NET) lung cancer subtypes (typical and atypical carcinoids, large small cell carcinoma), Ki-67 index presence lymph nodal mediastinal metastases. Methods Twenty-seven patients (11 males 16 females, aged 48 81 years old—average age 70,4 years) with histological diagnosis pulmonary NET known status...
Objectives: To describe the US, CEUS, CT, and MRI features of papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) to underline imaging characteristics that are helpful in differential diagnosis. Methods: Patients with histologically proven who underwent at least two examinations (US, MRI) were included study. Tumor size, homogeneity, morphology, perilesional stranding, contrast enhancement locoregional extension assessed. A comparison for each modality analyzed. Results: total 27 patients an confirmed...
Abstract Background The role of computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis and characterization coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia has been widely recognized. We evaluated performance a software for quantitative analysis chest CT, LungQuant system, by comparing its results with independent visual evaluations group 14 clinical experts. aim this work is to evaluate ability automated tool extract information from lung relevant design support model. Methods segments both lungs lesions...
Rectal cancer is a major mortality cause in the United States (US), and its treatment based on individual risk factors for recurrence each patient. In patients with rectal cancer, accurate assessment of response to chemoradiotherapy has increased importance as variety options grown. this scenario, controversial non-operative approach may be considered some whom complete tumor regression believed have occurred. The recommended locally advanced (LARC, T3-4 ± N+) total mesorectal excision (TME)...
The aim is to find a correlation between texture features extracted from neuroendocrine (NET) lung cancer subtypes, both Ki-67 index and the presence of lymph-nodal mediastinal metastases detected while using different computer tomography (CT) scanners.Sixty patients with confirmed pulmonary NET histological diagnosis, known status metastases, were included. After subdivision primary lesions in baseline acquisition venous phase, 107 radiomic first higher orders extracted. Spearman's matrix...
The aim of this work is to identify MRI texture features able predict the response radio-chemotherapy (RT-CHT) in patients with naso-oropharyngeal carcinoma (NPC-OPC) before treatment order help clinical decision making. Textural were derived from ADC maps and post-gadolinium T1-images on a single machine for 37 NPC-OPC. Patients divided into two groups (responders/non-responders) according results scans 18F-FDG-PET/CT performed at follow-up 3–4 12 months after therapy biopsy. Pre-RT-CHT...
The aim of this single-center, observational, retrospective study was to investigate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers for the assessment radiotherapy (RT)-induced xerostomia. Twenty-seven patients who underwent radiation therapy oropharyngeal cancer were divided into three groups according severity their xerostomia—mild, moderate, and severe—clinically confirmed with Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events (CTCAE). No severe xerostomia found. Conventional functional MRI...
Due to the increasing number of COVID-19-infected and vaccinated individuals, radiologists continue see patients with COVID-19 pneumonitis recall pneumonitis, which could result in additional workups false-positive results. Moreover, cancer undergoing immunotherapy may show therapy-related during imaging management. This is otherwise known as immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis. Following on from this background, should seek know their patients' infection vaccination history....
Abstract Objective Identifying MRI texture parameters able to distinguish inflammation, fibrosis, and residual cancer in patients with naso-oropharynx carcinoma after radiochemotherapy (RT-CHT). Material methods In this single-centre, observational, retrospective study, analysis was performed on ADC maps post-gadolinium T1 images of histological diagnosis naso-oropharyngeal treated RT-CHT. An initial cohort 99 selected; 57 them were later excluded. The final 42 divided into 3 groups...
Background and Objective: In recent years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown excellent results in the study of prostate gland. MRI indeed to be advantageous cancer (PCa) detection, as guiding targeting biopsy, improving its diagnostic yield. Although current acquisition protocols provide for multiparametric acquisition, evidence that biparametric can non-inferior PCa detection. Diffusion-weighted (DWI) sequence, particular, plays a key role, particularly peripheral zone which...
Abstract Haemorrhagic cholecystitis refers to an inflammatory process of the gallbladder, complicated by bleeding into gallbladder or biliary system (haemobilia). Approximately 10–15% adults have cholelithiasis, but most patients do not develop symptoms. Acute occurs in about 10% symptomatic patients. Among recognized complications acute cholecystitis, haemorrhagic form uncommonly. Underlying risk factors include a diathesis treatment with anticoagulants, aneurysm rupture colecystic artery...
