Introduction Benign and malignant myxoid soft tissue tumors have shared clinical, imaging, histologic features that can make diagnosis challenging. The purpose of this study is comparison the diagnostic performance a radiomic based machine learning (ML) model to musculoskeletal radiologists. Methods Manual segmentation 90 (45 myxomas 45 myxofibrosarcomas) was performed on axial T1, T2FS or STIR magnetic resonance imaging sequences. Eighty-seven from each modality were extracted. Five ML...
Differentiating benign and malignant myxoid soft-tissue tumors preoperatively can be challenging due to shared clinical, imaging, histologic features. Biopsy specimens are frequently described as "low-grade neoplasms" without or classification (ie, indeterminate). Our purpose is evaluate the prevalence prognosis of with an indeterminate diagnosis before resection. A retrospective review identified 439 patients a musculoskeletal tumor confirmed on final resection pathology. result (benign,...
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance in patients with cirrhosis is aimed at early detection so that effective therapeutic options may be offered. We undertook this study to assess the patterns of had been offered HCC evaluated our center, and effect these strategies on outcome. Methods: Consecutive patients, age 18 years older, diagnosed between December 2007 2012 were identified. Surveillance was defined as α-fetoprotein measurement and/or imaging examination 12 months...
Elbow arthroplasty is increasing in popularity and can be used to treat many conditions, such as trauma, primary secondary osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, osteonecrosis. Total elbow (TEA) reserved for patients with severe symptoms refractory more conservative management. In addition TEA, hemi-arthroplasty, interposition arthroplasty, resection also play roles the management of pain. There are specific indications each type arthroplasty. Postoperative complications may occur...
Accurate musculoskeletal soft tissue tumor segmentation is vital for assessing size, location, diagnosis, and response to treatment, thereby influencing patient outcomes. However, of these tumors requires clinical expertise, an automated model would save valuable time both clinician patient. Training automatic a large dataset annotated images. In this work, we describe the collection MR imaging 199 from patients. We trained models on then benchmarked them publicly available dataset. Our...
Myxofibrosarcoma is a rare, malignant myxoid soft tissue tumor. It can be challenging to distinguish it from benign myxoma in clinical practice as there exists imaging and histologic feature overlap between these two entities. Some previous works used radiomics features of T1-weighted images differentiate tumors, but few have multimodality data. In this project, we collect dataset containing 20 myxomas myxofibrosarcomas, each with T1- weighted image, T2-weighted features. Radiomics...
Chemical shift imaging is a relatively fast MR sequence, which valuable in characterizing pathologies multiple organ systems to help narrow the differential diagnosis or make definitive diagnosis. Characterization by chemical based on three principles: detection of intracytoplasmic lipid, India-ink artifact, and susceptibility artifact.
Neoplasms of the infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) although rare are a potential source anterior knee pain and swelling. Masses comprised cartilage and/or osseous tissues within IFP have been reported with marked inconsistency. Diagnosis is based upon radiographic, surgical, histologic characteristics. As result, multiple terms variable nomenclature used to describe these masses. We present case benign neoplasm that was successfully treated surgical excision review reports series similar masses...
