Since the introduction of MRI as a sustainable diagnostic modality, global accessibility to its services has revealed wide discrepancy between populations-leaving most population in LMICs without access this important imaging modality. Several factors lead scarcity LMICs; for example, inadequate infrastructure and absence dedicated workforce are key observed. RAD-AID contributed advancement radiology globally by collaborating with our partners make more accessible medically underserved...

Abstract Purpose To compare routine ROI analysis and three different histogram analyses in the grading of glial neoplasms. The hypothesis is that methods can provide a robust objective technique for quantifying perfusion data brain gliomas. Current region‐of‐interest (ROI)‐based dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC MRI) are operator‐dependent. Materials Methods A total 92 patients underwent conventional DSC MRI. Multiple metrics were obtained cerebral blood flow...

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in conjunction with digital mammography (DM) is becoming the preferred imaging modality for cancer screening compared DM alone, on basis of improved recall rates (RR) and detection (CDRs). The aim this study was to investigate racial differences utilization performance modality.Retrospective data from 63 US facilities 2015 2019 were reviewed. Screening outcomes linked registries. RR, CDR per 1,000 examinations, positive predictive value (cancers/recalled...

MR imaging can measure tissue perfusion and the integrity of blood-brain barrier. We hypothesize that a combined cerebral blood volume vascular permeability using vascular-space occupancy (VASO) imaging, recently developed technique, is diagnostic value for predicting tumor grade.Thirty-nine patients (9 World Health Organization [WHO] grade II, 20 III, 10 IV as determined by histopathologic assessment) were examined VASO regions-of-interest analysis was performed in tumoral regions, well...

ABSTRACT We compare the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and MRSI (MR spectroscopic findings in a patient with intracerebral aspergillosis to those typically seen an infiltrating high‐grade glioma (HGG). demonstrate paramagnetic areas of T2‐hypointensity due pathologic deposition iron other elements aspergillosis. also diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) discuss how MR spectroscopy can be useful differentiating aspergilloma from glioma.

Purpose Of breast cancer–related deaths worldwide, 62.1% occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Mammography, the gold standard for screening, is largely infeasible limited-resource settings, predominantly because of unavailability. Recent data show a dismal 0 to 12 mammography units per one million women age 50 69 years most sub-Saharan Africa. Breast ultrasound, which used high-resource settings supplement certain clinical scenarios, offers potentially viable alternative early...

Abstract Breast cancer is emerging as a major global public health problem. Incidence and mortality continues to rise in low- middle-income countries (LMICs). A significant growing disparity exists between high-income LMICs the availability of screening services associated preventable mortality. However, population imaging-based programs are not appropriate for all settings. Planners should perform thorough assessment target setting prior implementing any breast detection program, guidelines...

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, emerging as a risk factor for onset of breast cancer and harbinger unfavorable outcomes [1], [2], [3]. Despite limited understanding precise mechanisms, both obesity are associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) rewiring [4], [5], [6]. Utilizing total tissue proteomics, we analyzed normal-weight (18.5 to < 25 kg/m

The objective of this design project was to create a device prevent mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) HIV through breast milk in preterm infants. Our team created robust and intuitive which utilizes Flash Heat Treatment (FHT), an established method inactivate HIV. FHT heats jarred boiling water for short amount time, enough denature reverse transcriptase while preserving the nutritional value milk.
