Background The performance of publicly available large language models (LLMs) remains unclear for complex clinical tasks. Purpose To evaluate the agreement between human readers and LLMs Breast Imaging Reporting Data System (BI-RADS) categories assigned based on breast imaging reports written in three languages to assess impact discordant category assignments management. Materials Methods This retrospective study included women who underwent MRI, mammography, and/or US cancer screening or...
Purpose To determine the added value of functional magnetic resonance (MR) sequences (dynamic contrast material–enhanced [DCE] and quantitative diffusion-weighted [DW] imaging with apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC] mapping) for detection recurrent soft-tissue sarcomas following surgical resection. Materials Methods This retrospective study was approved by institutional review board. The requirement to obtain informed consent waived. Thirty-seven patients referred postoperative...
OBJECTIVE Navigation-enabling technology such as 3D-platform (O-arm) or intraoperative mobile CT (iCT-Airo) systems for use in spinal surgery has considerably improved accuracy over that of traditional fluoroscopy-guided techniques during pedicular screw positioning. In this study, the authors compared 2 imaging with navigation, available their neurosurgical unit, terms they provided transpedicular fixation thoracic and lumbar spine. METHODS The performed a retrospective analysis clinical...
Background Rapid knee MRI using combined simultaneous multislice (SMS) technique and parallel imaging (PI) acceleration can add value through reduced acquisition time but requires validation of clinical efficacy. Purpose To evaluate the performance fourfold SMS-PI-accelerated, 5-minute, five-sequence, multicontrast protocols compared with standard twofold PI-accelerated, 10-minute protocols. Materials Methods Adults painful conditions were prospectively enrolled from April 2018 to October...
Abstract Background Body composition scores allow for quantifying the volume and physical properties of specific tissues. However, their manual calculation is time-consuming prone to human error. This study aims develop validate CompositIA , an automated, open-source pipeline body from thoraco-abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans. Methods A retrospective dataset 205 contrast-enhanced CT examinations was used training, while 54 scans a publicly available were independent testing. Two...
The impact of new asymptomatic spinal cord lesions (a-SL) in multiple sclerosis (MS) course is poorly characterized.The objective this research paper to assess the prognostic value a-SL predicting MS course.Relapsing-remitting patients who received serial MRI (brain and spinal) at baseline (t1) within 12 36 months (t2) during clinical stability, had a follow-up (t2-t3) ⩾24 were included. Relapses disability progression evaluated between t2 t3.Of 413 consecutive screened patients, 103 (65...
The purpose of this article is to evaluate the significance subspecialty second-opinion consultations for CT and MRI examinations in musculoskeletal (MSK) radiology.All 3165 MSK referred one academic institution consultation during a 24-month period were reviewed by three MSK-trained radiologists. Outside inside reports compared two independent radiology fellows using previously published 5-point scale. Clinically important differences (categories 4 5) defined as those likely change patient...
Background To assess the interobserver reliability of three selective region‐of‐interest (ROI) measurement protocols for apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) quantifications in soft tissue masses (STMs) compared with whole tumor volume (WTV) ADC measurements. Methods Institutional review board approval was obtained and informed consent waived. Three observers independently measured minimum mean ADCs 73 benign malignant musculoskeletal STMs using methods (single‐slice [SS], predefined slices...
Objectives The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) knee with 10-minute 3-dimensional (3D) controlled aliasing in parallel results higher acceleration (CAIPIRINHA) sampling perfection application optimized contrast using different flip angle evolutions (SPACE) turbo spin echo (TSE) protocols can replace 20-minute 2-dimensional (2D) TSE standard-of-reference for diagnosis internal derangement. Materials and Methods After review board approval...
Study Design. A prospective multicenter cohort study. Objective. The aim of this study was to identify an association between pain and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Summary Background Data. At present, the relationship abnormal MRI findings LSS is still unclear. Methods. First, we conducted a systematic literature search. We identified relationships relevant LSS. Second, addressed question thorough descriptive graphical analysis...
To evaluate whether a model based on radiomic and clinical features may be associated with lymph node (LN) status overall survival (OS) in lung cancer (LC) patients; to CT reconstruction algorithms influence the performance.patients operated for LC pathological stage up T3N1 were retrospectively selected divided into training validation sets. For prediction of positive LNs OS, Least Absolute Shrinkage Selection Operator (LASSO) logistic regression was used; univariable multivariable analysis...
