Objective The aim of the study was to assess accuracy of pulmonary nodule volumetry using noise-optimized virtual monoenergetic image (VMI+) and nonlinear blending image (NBI) algorithms in dual-energy computed tomography (DECT). Methods An anthropomorphic chest phantom with 10 simulated nodules (5 solid nodules and 5 ground-glass opacities) was scanned using DECT80/Sn140kV, DECT100/Sn140kV, and single-energy CT (SECT120kV/200mAs), respectively. The dual-energy images were reconstructed using...
Objective The aim of this study was to optimize chest port contrast injections using stepwise improvements. Methods Ex vivo injections were tested. Two hundred scans using power port injections were then evaluated. Results The highest flow rate was achieved using a 19G access needle, larger diameter tubing, and warmed contrast. The mean injection rates in baseline and postimprovement groups were 2.7 ± 0.4 and 4.8 ± 0.4 mL/s, respectively (P
Objective This study aimed to ascertain the minimum gadolinium dosage on contrast-enhanced (CE) T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) at appropriate imaging time. Methods Different dosages of gadodiamide were imaged with a 3.0-T magnetic resonance scanner for T2-FLAIR and T1WI. Twenty glioma-induced rat models were randomly assigned into 4 groups (1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8 of routine dosage) and imaged for T2-FLAIR and T1WI preinjection and postinjection of gadodiamide. Contrast-enhanced...
Objective The aims of the study were to assess the performance of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived cardiac chamber volumes and volume ratios to identify group 2 pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients and to determine their cutoff values with the highest sensitivity and specificity. Methods One hundred six patients underwent CMR, 2 months after the diagnosis of PH by right heart catheterization. We classified patients with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of greater than 15 mm Hg as...
We describe a case series of imaging findings of 4 patients who underwent spinal dysraphisms repair in utero with novel patch material, cryopreserved human umbilical cord, in our institution. In our study, the prenatal and postnatal magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound are reviewed and showed cord tethering and syrinx progression in all cases. Our report is the first description of magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound findings in the context of using this novel patch in severe cases of...
Purpose This study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy for small lung nodules (SLNs) (≤20 mm) and to assess related complication rates. Methods We reviewed the Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases to identify all relevant studies published as of April 2020. Random effects modeling were then used to evaluate pooled data pertaining to technical success rates, diagnostic accuracy, pneumothorax rates, and rates of hemoptysis. The...
Gadolinium-based contrast agents for clinical magnetic resonance imaging are overall safe. However, the discovery of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in patients with severe renal impairment and gadolinium deposition in patients receiving contrast have generated developments in contrast-free imaging of the vasculature, that is, noncontrast magnetic resonance angiography. This article presents an update on noncontrast magnetic resonance angiography techniques, with comparison to other imaging alternatives....
Objective Metastasis and multiple myeloma are common malignant bone marrow lesions. It may be difficult to distinguish because of similar imaging findings. The purpose of this study was to determine the value of histogram analysis on the computed tomography imaging. Methods Twenty-three patients with primary tumor and 23 patients with multiple myeloma were included in the study. All patients had lytic bone lesions on the thorax and abdominal computed tomography scan with contrast. Multiple...
Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the performance of texture analysis for discriminating the histopathological grade of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on magnetic resonance imaging. Methods Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging data from 101 patients with HCC, including T2-weighted imaging, arterial phase, and apparent diffusion coefficient mapping, were analyzed using texture analysis software (TexRAD). Differences among the histological groups were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney...
Objective To determine the frequencies of fat-water swaps in iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation (IDEAL) water-only images of the postinstrumentation spine and discuss the efficiency of in-phase imaging in improving visibility of the thecal sac. Materials and Methods A total of 276 patients (167 women; mean age, 62.3 years; range, 23–89 years) with metallic devices on the lumbar spine who received complete routine 1.5 T MR imaging, including...
Purpose To assess whether a machine-learning model based on texture features extracted from multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging could yield an accurate diagnosis in differentiating pilocytic astrocytoma from cystic oligodendrogliomas. Materials and Methods The preoperative images from multisequences were used for tumor segmentation. Radiomic features were extracted and selected for machine-learning models. Semantic features and selected radiomic features from training data set were...
Introduction Patients with type II navicular ossicles have traditionally been considered to be symptomatic, whereas patients with type I and III bones are considered asymptomatic without additional relevant imaging findings. The main objective of this study is to investigate the association of type I os naviculare with clinical symptomology and magnetic resonance imaging findings in comparison to types II and III ossicles. Methods Three hundred nine subjects with accessory navicular bone...
Objective Our aim was to evaluate effects of the energy level and contrast on the spatial resolution of virtual monochromatic imaging (VMI). Methods With 2 types of computed tomographic (CT) scanners (Discovery CT750 HD and Revolution CT), we scanned an elliptical cylinder acrylic phantom with 20- or 40-fold dilutions of contrast medium and obtained VMI data sets at 40, 50, 60, and 70 keV. We evaluated the effects of energy levels and contrast on modulation transfer function (MTF) and the...
Objective The aim of the study was to characterize magnetic resonance imaging findings in patients with recurrent ovarian adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCTs). Methods Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging manifestations of recurrent AGCTs were evaluated in 11 patients. Results Initial recurrences of AGCT were diagnosed between 13 months and 30 years (mean, 11.3 years). Recurrent tumors were located in the pelvic peritoneum, the abdominal peritoneum, the retroperitoneum, and bone. The...

Hiv disease for the last 3 years and had pain hard to eat and cough are nightmares,especially the first year At this stage, the immune system is severely weakened, and the risk of contracting opportunistic infections is much greater. However, not everyone with HIV will go on to develop AIDS. The earlier you receive treatment, the better your outcome will be.I started taking ARV to avoid early death but I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.As a Hiv patient we are advise to be taking antiretroviral treatments to reduce our chance of transmitting the virus to others , few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information on Hiv treatment with herbal medicine, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from Hiv her name was Achima Abelard and other Herpes Virus patient Tasha Moore also giving testimony about this same man,Called Dr Itua Herbal treatment.I was moved by the testimony and i contacted him by his Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com . We chatted and he send me a bottle of herbal medicine I drank it as he instructed me to.After drinking it he ask me to go for a test that how i ended my suffering life of Hiv patent,I'm cured and free of Arv Pills.I'm forever grateful to him Doctor Itua Herbal Treatment..He assured me he can cure the following disease..Hiv,Cancer,Herpes Virus,Hpv,Pile,Weak Erection,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy,Glaucoma.,Brain Tumor,psoriasis, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Chronic Diarrhea,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease,
