Background Deep learning reconstruction (DLR) may improve image quality. However, its impact on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the prostate has yet to be assessed. Purpose To determine whether DLR can quality MRI at b values ranging from 1000 sec/mm2 5000 in patients with cancer. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, images obtained DWI a value 0 sec/mm2, (DWI1000), 3000 (DWI3000), (DWI5000) consecutive biopsy-proven cancer January June 2020 were reconstructed without DLR....
Background Pulmonary MRI with ultrashort echo time (UTE) has been compared chest CT for nodule detection and classification. However, direct comparisons of these methods' capabilities Lung Screening Reporting Data System (Lung-RADS) evaluation remain lacking. Purpose To compare the pulmonary UTE those standard- or low-dose thin-section Lung-RADS Materials Methods In this prospective study, (270 mA 60 mA, respectively) were used to examine consecutive participants enrolled between January...
Deep learning reconstruction (DLR) has been introduced by major vendors, tested for CT examinations of a variety organs, and compared with other methods. The purpose this study was to compare the capabilities DLR image quality improvement lung texture evaluation those hybrid-type iterative (IR) standard-, reduced- ultra-low-dose CTs (SDCT, RDCT ULDCT) obtained high-definition (HDCT) reconstructed at 0.25-mm, 0.5-mm 1-mm section thicknesses 512 × or 1024 matrixes patients various pulmonary...
Background Amide proton transfer (APT) weighted chemical exchange saturation CEST (APTw/CEST) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been suggested as having the potential for assessing therapeutic effect of brain tumors or rectal cancer. Moreover, diffusion‐weighted (DWI) and positron emission tomography fused with computed by means 2‐[fluorine‐18]‐fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose (FDG‐PET/CT) have useful in same setting. Purpose To compare capability APTw/CEST imaging, DWI, FDG‐PET/CT predicting...
Computed diffusion-weighted imaging (cDWI) is a mathematical computation technique that generates DWIs for any b-value by using actual DWI (aDWI) data with at least two different b-values and may improve differentiation of metastatic from nonmetastatic lymph nodes.To determine the appropriate cDWI to achieve better diagnostic capability node staging (N-staging) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients compared aDWI, short inversion time (TI) recovery (STIR) imaging, or positron...
Abstract Since lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) became clinically available, limited clinical utility has been suggested for applying MRI to diseases. Moreover, applications of patients with diseases or thoracic oncology may vary from country due indications, type health insurance, number MR units available. Because this situation, members the Fleischner Society and Japanese Magnetic Resonance in Medicine have published new reports provide appropriate indications MRI. This review...
Abstract Background Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a rare adverse event in patients receiving adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer. Few studies have reported the frequency of ILD detail, and only small numbers cases been described literature. Given these previous findings concerning ILD, we retrospectively examined clinicopathological characteristics five who had received epirubicin cyclophosphamide (EC) compared their with non-ILD cases. Methods The present...
The need for quantitative assessment of interstitial lung involvement on thin-section computed tomography (CT) has arisen in diseases including connective tissue disease (CTD).To evaluate the capability machine learning (ML)-based CT texture analysis severity and treatment response assessments comparison with qualitatively assessed patients CTD.A total 149 CTD-related ILD (CTD-ILD) underwent initial follow-up scans (total 364 paired serial examinations), pulmonary function tests, serum KL-6...
A 49-year-old man was admitted for the evaluation of a bilateral mass shadow in his chest X-ray film. No definitive diagnosis established either by brushing cytology or biopsy through bronchoscopy. malignancies were suggested general work-up. Both masses surgically removed, and diagnosed as pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (PHG). Fifteen months later, low grade fever continued renal function decreased. Laboratory examinations revealed hydronephrosis with polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. The...
