Angiomyolipoma (AML) with minimal fat may mimic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and is difficult to distinguish from RCC imaging studies alone. Precise diagnostic strategies have been explored discern AML RCC.To compare the morphological enhancement features of those size-matched on computed tomography (CT).Our study included 143 pathologically proved tumors (29 fat: mean diameter, 2.5 cm; range, 1.2-4 114 RCC: 2.8 1.3-4 cm). All patients underwent biphasic helical CTs. Two radiologists...

Materials Methods:The T1 T2 relaxivities (MNP@SiO 2 [RITC]-PEG) were measured at 1.5T 3T magnetic resonance scanner.Using hMSCs nanoparticles, efficiency, toxicity, proliferation assessed.Confocal laser scanning microscopy transmission electron used to specify intracellular localization...

Objective The purpose of our study was to assess computed tomographic (CT) findings adnexal torsion through a matched case-control analysis. Materials and methods This retrospective, single-institution included 43 women with age- ovarian mass-matched control women. CT images were evaluated independently by two readers for the following: prominent peripheral follicles, uterine deviation, thickened pedicles, whirl sign, navel sign. Comparisons performed using Chi square test receiver operating...

Background Identification of the source postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is important for embolization because PPH frequently originates from non-uterine arteries. Purpose To evaluate clinical importance identifying arteries causing and results their selective embolization. Material Methods This retrospective study enrolled 59 patients who underwent June 2009 to July 2016. Angiographic findings medical records were reviewed determine whether contributed PPH. Arteries showing extravasation or...

The objective of our study was to evaluate the performance multiparametric MRI with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADSv2) for detecting prostate cancer (PCA) clinically significant PCA through this per-lesion one-to-one correlation between pathologically proven lesions MRI-visible lesions.A total 93 from 44 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy were included in retrospective study. Two radiologists scored every visible lesion a PI-RADSv2 score 3, 4, or 5...

Ultrasonography (renamed from the Journal of Korean Society Ultrasound in Medicine January 2014), official English-language journal (KSUM), is an international peer-reviewed academic dedicated to practice, research, technology, and education dealing with medical ultrasound, Aims Scope:Ultrasonography ultrasound.It published four times per year: 1, April July October 1. Original articles, topical reviews, pictorial essays, notable case reports are covering state-of-the-art content. also...

This study is aimed to explore the performance of texture-based machine learning and image-based deep-learning for enhancing detection Transitional-zone prostate cancer (TZPCa) in background benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), using a one-to-one correlation between prostatectomy-based pathologically proven lesion MRI. Seventy patients confirmed as TZPCa twenty-nine BPH without by radical prostatectomy. For texture analysis, radiologist drew region interest (ROI) correlated surrounding on...

Irreversible electroporation has clinically been used to treat various types of cancer. A plan on how apply irreversible before practicing is very important increase the ablation area and reduce side effects. Several electrical models have developed predict with applied electric energy. In this experiment, static relationship between energy ablated was mathematically experimentally investigated at 10 hours after applying electroporation. We performed liver tissue Sprague Dawley rats (male, 8...

The aim of this study was to explore the usefulness resistive index (RI) on spectral Doppler ultrasonography (US) in detection renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients with end-stage disease (ESRD).Seventeen ESRD kidneys which masses were suspected routine US subjected. They underwent computed tomography scans and additional for characterization detected lesions. All radical nephrectomy suspicion RCC. Fourteen finally included. RI measurements conducted region mass background parenchyma....

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the value a ratio attenuation measurements urine in each kidney (hereafter referred as CT ratio) detection and lateralization significant renal artery stenosis (RAS).In 33 patients with suspected renovascular hypertension 43 normotensive patients, 5-mm-thick transverse scans area were obtained 4 min after helical angiography (CTA). measured, its calculated. All 76 underwent intraarterial digital subtraction within 2 days examination. results...

A 58-year-old woman presented acutely with a 3-day history of general weakness, vomiting and fever. For 2 years she had untreated diabetes mellitus. On examination was ill, blood pressure 64/47mmHg, heart rate: 111 beats/min, respiration 28/min body temperature 37.28C. The right upper abdomen tender. There loin tenderness. Investigations: white cell count 10 380/mm; haemoglobin 7.8 g/dl; haematocrit 23.1%; platelet 36 000/mm; urea nitrogen 70mg/dl; serum creatinine 6.2mg/dl; glucose...

Urine-filled bladder can be evaluated easily with ultrasound, and tumors are usually well shown at ultrasound. Although ultrasound is not a primary imaging modality for staging of tumors, it provide general information regarding depth tumor invasion into the proper muscle or perivesical adipose tissue. Ultrasound also useful in showing nonneoplastic lesions bladder, such as stone, cystitis, diverticulum ureterocele. Color Doppler show vascularity tumor. It shows urine flow from ureteral...

The interfacial bonding of silicone-coated stents was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and anodic potentiodynamic polarization tests.The coaxial in-lens secondary imaging revealed partial between silicon rubber nitinol alloy strips in both primer-treatment plasma-treatment cases.Several strands the polymer stent substrate were observed cases it seems that strength is same.However, tests have shown corrosion rates plasma-treated less than half primer-treated...
