Clinically relevant subtypes exist for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but molecular characterization is not yet standard in clinical care. We implemented a biopsy protocol to perform time-sensitive whole-exome sequencing and RNA patients with advanced PDAC. Therapeutically genomic alterations were identified 48% (34/71) pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline 18% (13/71) of patients. Overall, 30% (21/71) enrolled experienced change management as result data. Twenty-six had and/or...
To determine the sensitivity and specificity of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for depicting pancreatic small, functional islet cell tumors minimum number sequences expedient diagnosis.Twenty-eight patients clinically suspected to have underwent T1- T2-weighted spin-echo (SE) MR with without fat suppression, fast SE imaging, spoiled gradient-echo (GRE) before after injection gadopentetate dimeglumine. Sensitivity, specificity, best definitive diagnosis were determined.MR images depicted...
To establish the feasibility of performing combined positron emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT)-guided biopsy abdominal masses by using previously acquired PET/CT images registered with intraprocedural CT images.In this HIPAA-compliant institutional review board-approved study, 14 patients underwent clinically indicated percutaneous (mean size, 3.3 cm; range, 1.2-5.0 cm) in liver (n = 6), presacral soft tissue 3), retroperitoneal lymph nodes 2), spleen and pancreas 1). obtained no more...

Lung ultrasound (LUS) is an important imaging modality used by emergency physicians to assess pulmonary congestion at the patient bedside. B-line artifacts in LUS videos are key findings associated with congestion. Not only can interpretation of be challenging for novice operators, but visual quantification B-lines remains subject observer variability. In this work, we investigate strengths and weaknesses multiple deep learning approaches automated detection localization videos. We curate...
The purpose of this study was to determine which MRI features observed 24 hours after technically successful percutaneous cryoablation liver tumors predict subsequent local tumor progression and describe the evolution imaging findings cryoablation.Thirty-nine adult patients underwent imaging-guided 54 (hepatocellular carcinoma, 8; metastases, 46). pertaining tumor, ablation margin, surrounding treatment were assessed independently by two readers. Fisher exact or Wilcoxon rank sum tests...
Purpose: Advancements in and adoption of consumer virtual reality (VR) are currently being propelled by numerous upcoming devices such as the Oculus Rift. Although applications growing around entertainment field, wide-spread VR opens up potential for other that may have been unfeasible with past implementations VR. A environment provide an equal or larger screen area than what is provided use multiple conventional displays while remaining comparatively cheaper more portable making it...
Background Percutaneous ablation for cT1 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains underused, partially because of heterogeneous and limited long-term outcomes data assessing recent cryoablation methods. Purpose To report intermediate- to image-guided percutaneous RCC compare CT versus MRI guidance. Materials Methods This HIPAA-compliant retrospective single-institution study assessed patients who underwent solitary pathology-proven between August 2000 July 2017. Tumors (cT1a, n = 282; cT1b, 25;...
BACKGROUND. To our knowledge, outcomes between percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) and cryoablation of sarcoma lung metastases have not been compared. OBJECTIVE. The purpose this study was to compare technical success, complications, local tumor control, overall survival (OS) after MWA versus metastases. METHODS. This retrospective cohort included 27 patients (16 women, 11 men; median age, 64 years; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score, 0-2) who, from 2009 2021, underwent...
