Abstract Radiomics (radiogenomics) characterizes tumor phenotypes based on quantitative image features derived from routine radiologic imaging to improve cancer diagnosis, prognosis, prediction and response therapy. Although radiomic must be reproducible qualify as biomarkers for clinical care, little is known about how acquisition techniques/parameters affect reproducibility. To begin fill this knowledge gap, we assessed the reproducibility of a comprehensive, commonly-used set using...
To evaluate the use of dual-energy spectral computed tomographic (CT) quantitative parameters compared with conventional CT imaging features for preoperative diagnosis metastasis to cervical lymph nodes in patients papillary thyroid cancer.This study was approved by ethics committee and all provided written informed consent. Analyses gemstone data qualitative were independently performed different groups radiologists. Excised located labeled during surgery according location on images...
Objective: To develop an imaging-derived biomarker for prediction of overall survival (OS) pancreatic cancer by analyzing preoperative multiphase contrast-enhanced computed topography (CECT) using deep learning. Background: Exploiting prognostic biomarkers guiding neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment decisions may potentially improve outcomes in patients with resectable cancer. Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study included 1516 resected ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) from 5 centers...
Spectral computed tomography (CT) can be used as a valuable complement to ultrasound (US) in the detection of thyroid nodules. This study sought investigate effects various arm positions during spectral CT scans terms radiation exposure, image quality, and micronodule (≤10 mm). A total 180 patients (mean age: 48 years; 136 females) who underwent were assigned traditional position (TDN; n=60), swimmer's (SWIM; modified (M-SWIM; n=60) groups. Image quality plain, arterial, venous phases was...
This study aimed to develop and validate a dual-layer spectral CT based clinical-radiomic model for pre-treatment prediction of pathological T4 (pT4) in gastric cancer (GC) patients. retrospective included 148 surgically confirmed GC patients who underwent scanning before surgery were divided into training (n=104) test (n=44) cohorts. Subjective assessments performed on conventional 120-kV images by two readers. Clinical models developed using patient demographics, serum tumor markers, image...
Purpose: The aim of the study was to describe clinical and computed tomography (CT) findings primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) lung. Materials Methods: data CT 35 patients with histologically proven LELC lung were retrospectively reviewed. included age, sex, smoking history, signs symptoms, tumor location, size, stage, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded small nuclear RNA status, treatment, outcomes. Pretreatment scans thorax used access site, contour, density, vascular and/or...
Abstract Background Using texture features derived from contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) combined with general imaging as well clinical information to predict treatment response and survival in patients hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who received transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) treatment. Methods From January 2014 November 2022, 289 HCC underwent TACE were retrospectively reviewed. Their was documented. treatment-naïve CTs retrieved reviewed by two independent radiologists....
Background Field-of-view optimized and constrained undistorted single-shot imaging (FOCUS) is a new sequence that shows enhanced anatomical details, improving the diffusion-weighted (DW) images. Purpose To investigate value of FOCUS (DWI) in evaluation nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) compare it with echo planner (SS-EPI) DWI approach. Material Methods A total 87 patients NPC underwent magnetic resonance imaging, including SS-EPI sequences. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), signal-intensity...
The Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) has been widely used for diagnosing muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), yet instances of misdiagnosis persist. However, limited research discusses the factors affecting its accuracy. This study aimed to evaluate diagnostic efficacy VI-RADS in our center preliminarily identify possible magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics misdiagnosis.From January 2018 February 2023, a consecutive series 211 participants pathologically...
To improve the assessment of primary tumor heterogeneity in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we proposed a method using basic measurements from T1- and T2-weighted MRI.One hundred four NSCLC patients with different T stages were studied. Fifty-two analyzed as training group another 52 testing group. The ratios standard deviation (SD)/mean signal value T1-weighted (T1WI), T1-enhanced (T1C), (T2WI), T2 fat suppression (T2fs) images calculated. In group,...
Abstract Purpose To construct radiomics models based on MRI at different time points for the early prediction of cystic brain radionecrosis (CBRN) nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods A total 202 injured temporal lobes from 155 NPC patients with radiotherapy-induced lobe injury (RTLI) after intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) were included in study. All randomly divided into training (n = 143) and validation 59) sets. Radiomics constructed by using features extracted T2WI two points:...
Abstract Background: Differentiating glioma recurrence from treatment-related changes can be challenging on conventional imaging. We evaluated the use of dual-energy spectral computed tomographic (CT) quantitative parameters for this differentiation. Methods: Twenty-eight patients were examined by imaging CT.
