Background There are no standardized and well-validated criteria for assessing the risk of extraprostatic extension (EPE) prostate cancer at preoperative multiparametric MRI. Purpose To compare diagnostic performance, intra- interreader agreement, correlations MRI-based assessment EPE after radical prostatectomy, including grade, European Society Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) score, Likert scale, capsular contact length (CCL). Materials Methods This retrospective study included consecutive men...

There appears to be less agreement in the identification of cancers transition zone (TZ), which is not as reliable those peripheral when using Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2 (v2). In response such shortcomings, updated 2.1 was introduced, incorporated diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) into category clarified lexicons.To compare diagnostic performance for detection clinically significant TZ prostate (csPCa) interreader between PI-RADS v2.1 v2.Retrospective...

Deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) can potentially improve image quality by reduction of noise, thereby enabling fast acquisition magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, a systematic evaluation and diagnostic performance MRI using short time with DLR has rarely been investigated in men prostate cancer.To assess the for extraprostatic extension (EPE).Retrospective.One hundred nine men.3 T; turbo spin echo T2-weighted images (T2WI), echo-planar diffusion-weighted, spoiled gradient...

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively compare the usefulness T2-weighted imaging with and without fat suppression for differentiating angiomyolipomas (AMLs) visible from other renal tumors.MRI performed in 111 patients (66 men 46 women; age range, 17-78 years) who had pathologically diagnosed (14 AMLs, 86 cell carcinomas [RCCs], three tumors) clinically (eight AMLs) masses or a cystic portion on unenhanced CT. signal intensity (SI), tumor-to-kidney SI ratio, tumor-to-spleen ratio...

The diagnostic yield of transbronchial biopsy (TBB) using radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) is 71%, which lower than that transthoracic needle biopsy. We investigated the performance and safety sequential cryobiopsy (TBC) a novel 1.1-mm diameter cryoprobe, after conventional TBB RP-EBUS for diagnosis peripheral lung lesions (PLLs).From April 2021 to November 2021, 110 patients who underwent bronchoscopy PLL ≤ 30 mm were retrospectively included in our study. All records...

Backgound Accurate preoperative diagnosis of fat scanty angiomyolipomas is an important clinical issue. By evaluating the low signal intensity in MR T2-weighted images diagnostic accuracy can be elevated. Purpose To retrospectively assess usefulness imaging for differentiating low-fat (AMLs) from other renal tumors. Material and Methods We evaluated 71 patients with surgically proven masses (10 AMLs, 57 cell carcinomas [RCCs], four oncocytomas), all which showed no visible as well gradual...

Subtype-related various computed tomography (CT) features of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are a confusing factor in differentiating angiomyolipoma with minimal fat (AMLmf) from RCC. To overcome RCC heterogeneity, scoring system, which integrates multiple discrimitive parameters can be helpful for AMLmf RCC.To develop MDCT-based system RCC.In 407 patients pathologically confirmed 48 AMLmfs and 359 RCCs (247 clear RCCs, 67 papillary 45 chromophobe RCCs), MDCT (ratio long-to-short diameter,...

Target identification is a crucial process in drug development, aiming to identify key proteins, genes, and signal pathways involved disease progression their relevance potential therapeutic interventions. While C-C chemokine receptor 8 (CCR8) has been investigated as candidate anti-cancer target, comprehensive multi-omics analyzes across various indications are limited. In this study, we conducted an extensive bioinformatics analysis integrating genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics data...

Background Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is widely accepted as an effective imaging modality in monitoring for bladder cancer recurrence after radical cystectomy. Elucidating the pattern of on CT can increase diagnostic accuracy. Purpose To evaluate patterns transitional cell carcinoma and factors associated with recurrence. Material Methods One hundred forty-nine consecutive patients (mean age, 66.55 years; range, 32–86 years) who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced...

The prognosis of translocation RCCs in adult patients is relatively poor compared to that other subtypes RCCs. Although there have been several reports regarding radiologic findings RCC, studies with histologic correlation could help understand the imaging features.To explore between and pathologic Xp11.2 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) provide clues for RCC diagnosis.CT scans six (one man five women; age range, 8-71 years; mean age, 34 years) histologically-proven were retrospectively evaluated...

Background Multiphasic multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is widely used for the assessment and diagnosis of complicated renal cysts. Purpose To determine optimal combination postcontrast phases MDCT evaluation Material Methods In 164 cysts with pathology confirmation or follow-up >2 years, Bosniak category was recorded by two radiologists in consensus. They reviewed images during three interpretation sessions. first session, evaluated (unenhanced corticomedullary phases), while...

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance in managing early-stage cervical cancer according International Federation Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage or tumor size. Methods/Materials: We performed a retrospective review patients with FIGO stages IB1 IIA carcinoma who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before lymphadenectomy. Lymphadenectomy involved all visible lymph nodes surgical fields. compared accuracy MRI for detecting metastatic...

Lymph node (LN) status is an important parameter for determining the treatment strategy and predicting prognosis patients with uterine cervical cancer. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) can be feasible differentiating metastatic from non-metastatic lymph nodes in cancer.To determine usefulness of CAD that comprehensively evaluates MR images clinical findings detecting LN metastasis cancer.In 680 LNs 143 who underwent radical hysterectomy cancer, system using Bayesian classifier estimated...
