To compare the outcomes of blunt splenic injuries (BSI) managed with proximal (P) versus distal (D) combined (C) artery embolization (SAE).This retrospective study included patients BSI who demonstrated vascular on angiograms and were SAE between 2001 2015. The success rate major complications (Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ III) compared P, D, C embolizations.In total, 202 enrolled (P, n = 64, 31.7%; 84, 41.6%; C, 54, 26.7%). median injury severity score was 25. times from to 8.3, 7.0, 6.6...
The aim of this study was 2-fold: first, to assess the prognostic significance on overall survival (OS) 3-point tumor regression grade (TRG) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT); second, investigate associations TRG clinicopathological characteristics patients. A total 357 ESCC were retrospectively enrolled. determined by assessing percentage viable residual cells (VRTC) resected specimens as follows: 1, 0% VRTC; 2, 1%...
Background/Objectives: To develop and validate a model system using deep learning algorithms for the automatic detection of type A aortic dissection (AD), differentiate it from normal B AD patients. Methods: In this retrospective study, is developed, based on computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans 498 patients training, validation test sets 398, 50 patients, respectively. An independent set 316 used to evaluate its performance. Results: Our comprises two components. The first one an...
Background Assessment of tumor extent and lymphatic metastasis uterine carcinosarcomas is important for treatment planning. Purpose/Hypothesis To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy 3.0T diffusion‐weighted (DW) MRI patients with carcinosarcoma, in assessment metastasis. Study Type Retrospective study. Population A consecutive cohort 68 pathologically proved carcinosarcoma between January 2006 July 2014. Field Strength/Sequence 3T DW MRI. Maximal uterus size, presence deep myometrial invasion,...
Cardiac tumors are uncommon, with primary cardiac being exceedingly rare.Benign more common than malignant tumors.Common benign include myxoma, lipoma, papillary fibroelastoma, rhabdomyoma, fibroma, hemangioma, and paraganglioma.Malignant metastasis, angiosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, lymphoma.Clinical presentation depends on tumor pathology, location, hemodynamic effects.Echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging often play a key role in differentiating between tumors,...
Abstract Background To investigate the value of [18F]FDG-PET/MRI in predicting treatment response and survival patients with primary M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods Patients carcinoma received at baseline during neoadjuvant or definitive chemoradiotherapy. The was classified according to Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors 1.1. We used Kaplan-Meier Cox regression analyses assess association between PET/MRI parameters overall (OS) progression-free (PFS). Results...

MRI-guided targeted biopsy (MRGB) was recommended as part of paradigm prostate cancers by current guidelines. This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic efficacy MRGB and systemic (SB), compare capabilities within subgroups MRGB: MRI-cognitive (MRCB) MRI-fusion (MRFB). We retrospectively enrolled patients who underwent for suspicious malignant lesion(s) identified on MRI in a single tertiary center, sample size 74 patients. An mpMRI performed prior reviewed an experienced radiologist...
To elucidate the usefulness of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)/apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) parameters in preoperative risk stratification using International Society Urological Pathology (ISUP) grades.Forty-five prostate cancer (PCa) patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) after multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) were included. The ISUP grades categorized into low-risk (I-II) and high-risk (III-V) groups, concordance between postoperative was analyzed....
Abstract Rationale: Metanephric adenoma (MA) is a rare and often benign tumor. Most MAs were misdiagnosed as renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) preoperatively. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping can help to differentiate malignant tumors. However, there are still pitfalls in using DWI ADC discriminate lesions. Patient concerns: A 56-year-old woman had right metanephric adenoma. The tumor showed very low value preoperatively was carcinoma. Diagnosis:...
The differences in chest computed tomography (CT) image quality may affect the tumor stage. aim of this study was to compare and accuracy CT via central vein peripheral enhancement. Fifty consecutive patients were enrolled from a tertiary medical center Taiwan May 2016 March 2019. All received enhancement prior neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation order that obtained vein. In addition, blind independent reviews conducted. For T N stage, had greater consistency with endoscopic...
The purpose of this study is to describe computed tomography (CT) findings pulmonary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Thirty-seven patients (24 92-years-old, mean 67, 27 males) with lymphoma confirmed by pathology and encountered over a period more than 10 years were reviewed. Pulmonary specimens obtained CT-guided core biopsy (n =16), transbronchial =15) surgery =6). pathological diagnoses mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) (n=19), diffuse large B cell (DLBCL) (n=13), anaplastic (n=2), mantle...
The International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade and positive surgical margins (PSMs) after radical prostatectomy (RP) may reflect the prognosis prostate cancer (PCa) patients. This study aimed to investigate whether DCE-MRI parameters (i.e., Ktrans, kep, IAUC) could predict ISUP PSMs RP.Forty-five PCa patients underwent preoperative DCE-MRI. clinical characteristics 45 were compared between low- high-risk grades III-V) groups with or without RP. Multivariate logistic...
