Background Dual-energy CT allows virtual noncontrast (VNC) attenuation and iodine density measurements from contrast material–enhanced examination, potentially enabling adrenal lesion characterization. However, data regarding diagnostic performance remain limited, combined values have never been investigated. Purpose To determine whether VNC attenuation, density, combination of the two allow reliable differentiation between adenomas metastases. Materials Methods This retrospective study...
Abstract BACKGROUND Curcumin, the yellow pigment in turmeric, has been shown to prevent tumor progression a variety of tissues rodents. The authors investigated effect curcumin on human carcinoma cell lines determine whether constitutive interleukin‐8 ( IL‐8 ) production cells was correlated with nuclear factor κB (NF‐κB) activation and growth activity. METHODS A pancreatic line, SUIT‐2, incubated various concentrations for 2 hours. Biologic features, including production, DNA binding...
For stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of liver tumors, tumor motion induced by respiration must be taken into account in planning and treatment. We evaluated whether at the simulation represents during SBRT, estimated inter- intrafractional changes patients undergoing SBRT. Ten underwent four-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (4D-CBCT) image-guided SBRT with abdominal compression (AC) fiducial markers. 4D-CBCT was performed to evaluate simulation, pre-, post-SBRT. The...
Potential drawbacks of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) include local recurrence after RFA due to a limited area, massive hemorrhage induced by kidney puncture, and difficulty in visualizing the tumor at CT-guided puncture.To evaluate retrospectively technical success, effectiveness, complications elicited patients with unresectable RCC following single-session sequential combination treatment consisting arterial embolization followed RFA.Ten (12...
To evaluate the effects of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) in qualitative and quantitative image quality non-contrast magnetic resonance coronary angiography (MRCA).Ten healthy volunteers underwent conventional MRCA (C-MRCA) high-resolution (HR) on a 3T imaging with voxel size 1.8 × 1.1 1.7 mm3 0.6 1.0 mm3, respectively, for C-MRCA HR-MRCA. High-resolution was also reconstructed DLR technique (DLR-HR-MRCA). We compared contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) visual evaluation scores vessel...
The proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) is a G protein-coupled receptor that cleaved and activated by trypsin. To clarify the presence of PAR-2 in human pancreatic cancer, expression was analyzed RT-PCR, immunoblotting immunocytochemistry using 5 cancer cell lines. And to evaluate biological significance, immunohistochemical malignant non-malignant tissues examined paraffin-embedded sections. confirmed all lines 21 specimens from examined. found be higher with infiltrative growth pattern...
Previous studies on face detection in video footages show that segmenting faces accurately and reliably is often hard to succeed, leading instead laborious tedious interactive manipulation. This paper presents a segmentation method using controlled weights the three HSV components constructs image retrieval system. First, it shown color has advantages over RGB or YCbCr one when generating binary pattern retains as many features of possible original picture. Then, system constructed color,...
