Abstract Liver fibrosis, as one of the leading causes liver‐related morbidity and mortality, has no Food Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved antifibrotic therapy yet. Although microRNA‐29b (miRNA‐29b) microRNA‐122 (miRNA‐122) have great potential in treating liver fibrosis via regulating profibrotic genes hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), it is still a challenge to achieve HSC‐targeted meanwhile noninvasively trackable delivery miRNAs vivo. Herein, pH‐sensitive vitamin A (VA)‐conjugated...

OBJECTIVE. We investigated in Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System category 5 (LR-5) observations whether imaging features, including LI-RADS could predict microvascular invasion (MVI) posthepatectomy recurrence high-risk adult patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS. retrospectively identified 149 who underwent 3-T MRI within 1 month before hepatectomy for HCC; 81 of no HCC were followed more than year. Tumors clear surgical margins confirmed each specimen....

Background Preoperative prediction of tumor recurrence is important in the management patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Purpose To investigate whether stiffness derived by magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) could predict early HCC after hepatic resection. Study Type Retrospective. Population In all, 99 pathologically confirmed HCCs surgical Field Strength/Sequence 3.0T; preoperative MRE 60‐Hz mechanical vibrations using an active acoustic driver. Assessment Regions interest...

Background The accurate classification of focal liver lesions (FLLs) is essential to properly guide treatment options and predict prognosis. Dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (DCE-CT) still the cornerstone in exact FLLs due its noninvasive nature, high scanning speed, high-density resolution. Since their recent development, convolutional neural network-based deep learning techniques has been recognized have potential for image recognition tasks. Aim To develop evaluate an...

Gadobenate and gadoxetate are hepatobiliary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. We intraindividually compared these two agents for the characterization of focal liver lesions (FLLs). A total 140 adult subjects were randomized to undergo 3-T MRI exams separated by 7-14 days, one with 0.05 mmol/kg gadobenate 0.025 gadoxetate. For both exams, we acquired same unenhanced T1-weighted, T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted sequences, followed contrast-enhanced T1-weighted sequences during...

Worldwide, cerebral cryptococcal infections caused by cryptococcus neoformans are mostly found in immunocompromised patients, but less immunocompetent patients with fewer related imaging reports literatures. This pictorial essay describes some important MR features arriving at diagnosis for cryptococcosis way of five illustrative cases intact MRI data.

Objectives: Liver resection is potentially curative for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (eHCC) in patients with well-preserved liver function. The prognosis of these after still unsatisfactory because frequent early recurrence (ER). Therefore, we investigated the role preoperative dynamic contrast-enhanced 3.0-T MR imaging predicting ER eHCC resection. Methods From May 2014 to October 2017, retrospectively analyzed 82 who underwent and subsequently Imaging Reporting Data System...

Preoperative evaluation of aggressiveness, including tumor histological subtype, grade differentiation, Federation International Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, depth myometrial invasion, is significant for treatment planning prognosis in endometrial carcinoma (EC). The purpose this study was to evaluate whether three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can help predict the aggressiveness EC. From August 2015 January 2019, 82 consecutive patients with suspected...

Background Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( MRI) being a noninvasive modality may help in preoperative evaluation of intratumoral fat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using chemical shift encoded (CSE) MRI and in‐/opposed‐phase (IOP) imaging sequences. Purpose To compare the diagnostic accuracy fraction at three different flip angles (FAs) quantitative (CSE‐MRI) with in‐/opposed phase to evaluate HCC. Study Type Retrospective. Population Eighty‐six patients 87 pathology proven HCCs. Field...

Purpose. To describe liver imaging reporting and data system (LI-RADS) version 2018 other MRI features in intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) Chinese adults with vs. without chronic hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection. Methods. We retrospectively enrolled 89 patients pathologically proven iCCA after multiphase performed between 2004 2017 at a tertiary medical center southern China. Based on whether had HBV, was divided into two subgroups: HBV-positive (n = 50 patients,...
