OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to investigate whether apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values endometrial cancer differ from those normal endometrium and myometrium they vary according histologic tumor grade, the depth myometrial invasion, or lymph node status.
To assess the diagnostic quality of low dose (100 kV) CT angiography (CTA), by using ultra-low contrast medium volume (30 ml), for thoracic and abdominal aorta evaluation.67 patients with or vascular disease underwent multidetector study a 256 slice scanner, radiation protocol (automated tube current modulation, 100 ml; 4 ml s(-1)). Density measurements were performed on ascending, arch, descending aorta, anonymous branch, renal common iliac arteries. Radiation exposure [dose-length product...
To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and imaging features of routine admission chest X-ray in patients suspected for novel Coronavirus 2019 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
Abstract Objectives To evaluate a semi-automated segmentation and ventilated lung quantification on chest computed tomography (CT) to assess involvement in patients affected by SARS-CoV-2. Results were compared with clinical functional parameters outcomes. Methods All images underwent quantitative analyses dedicated workstation using semi-automatic software compute volume (VLV), Ground-glass opacity (GGO) (GGO-V), consolidation (CONS-V) as absolute percentage of total (TLV). The ratio...
To assess the clinical diagnostic value of functional imaging, combining quantitative parameters apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and standardized uptake (SUV)max, before after chemo-radiation therapy, in prediction tumor response patients with rectal cancer, related to regression grade at histology.A total 31 biopsy proven diagnosis carcinoma were enrolled our study. All underwent a whole body (18)FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT) scan pelvic magnetic resonance (MR)...
AIM:To assess the diagnostic accuracy of multidetectorrow computed tomography (MDCT) as compared with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in identifying mesorectal fascia (MRF) invasion rectal cancer patients.METHODS: Ninety-one patients biopsy proven adenocarcinoma referred for thoracic and abdominal CT staging were enrolled this study.The contrast-enhanced MDCT scans performed on a 256 row scanner (ICT, Philips) following acquisition parameters: tube voltage 120 KV, current...
This study compared the diagnostic value of Whole-Body Ultra Low-Dose computed tomography (WBULDCT) with that Spinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (SMRI) in identification spinal bone marrow involvement patients Multiple Myeloma (MM). Thirty-five histologically proven MM underwent WBULDCT and dedicated SMRI. Unenhanced was performed on a 256-slice scanner, 120 kV 40 mAs. SMRI 1·5T magnet, T1-turbo spin echo T2-short tau inversion recovery sequences sagittal plane. terms lesion detection,...
Objective To evaluate image quality and radiation dose exposure of low-kV setting low-volume contrast medium (CM) computed tomography angiography (CTA) protocol for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) planning in comparison with standard CTA protocol. Methods Sixty-patients were examined 256-row MDCT TAVI planning: 32 patients (study group) evaluated using 80-kV electrocardiogram-gated 60 mL CM IMR reconstruction; 28 underwent a study (100 kV; 80 CM; iDose4 reconstruction)....
The aim of this study was to investigate the role dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluation blood flow changes related transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions.Fifty-four patients, biopsy-proven HCC, who underwent TACE or RFA, were evaluated, 1 month after treatment, upper abdominal MRI examination. Multiplanar T2-weighted, T1-weighted, sequences acquired. Dedicated...
Aim: To evaluate the dose reduction and image quality of low-dose, low-contrast media volume in computed tomography (CT) examinations reconstructed with model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) algorithm comparison hybrid (HIR) one. Methods: We prospectively enrolled a total 401 patients referred for cardiovascular CT, evaluated 256-MDCT scan low kVp (80 kVp) an MBIR (study group) or standard HIR protocol (100 kVp—control after injection fixed contrast medium volume. Vessel enhancement...
