Nutritional deficiencies represent a prevalent concern among individuals with obesity, stemming from suboptimal dietary habits, chronic inflammation, and preoperative weight reduction efforts. Bariatric surgical interventions, employing either restrictive, malabsorptive or combination of the two methods, further compound these deficiencies. Commonly observed nutritional deficits following bariatric surgeries include vitamin B12, D, thiamine, folate, iron, protein These are complicated by...
To examine the effect of high-b-value computed diffusion-weighted imaging (cDWI) on solid lesion detection and classification in pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) histopathology as a standard reference.Eighty-two patients with known or suspected IPMN were retrospectively enrolled. Computed images at b = 1000 s/mm2 calculated from (b 0, 50, 300, 600 s/mm2) DWI for conventional full field-of-view (fFOV, 3 × 4 mm3 voxel size) DWI. A...
Background: Our purpose was to investigate the potential of high-resolution, high b-value computed DWI (cDWI) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) detection. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 44 patients with confirmed PDAC. Respiratory-triggered, diffusion-weighted, single-shot echo-planar imaging (ss-EPI) both conventional (i.e., full field-of-view, 3 × 4 mm voxel size, b = 0, 50, 300, 600 s/mm2) high-resolution reduced 2.5 600, 1000 performed for suspected cDWI...
The incidence of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN), which represent a potential precursor pancreatic cancer, is increasing. We herein investigate the computed high b-value diffusion-weighted imaging (cDWI) in detection and stratification IPMN. cDWI at b = 1000 s/mm 2 increases lesion rates as well diagnostic sensitivity specificity regarding presence malignant features. Combining high-resolution reduced field-of-view further accuracy. seems particularly promising view need for...
