Improving tumour ADC estimates and elucidating tumour heterogeneity using adaptive Bayesian Markov random field Monte Carlo
Figure 2: Simulated (left) and in vivo (right) ADC point estimates without adaptive smoothing (a and e) and with adaptive smoothing (b and f). ADC uncertainties with adaptive smoothing (c and g) and without adaptive smoothing (d and h). On all maps with adaptive smoothing, the borrowing strength is shown by a border around each pixel; bright lines indicate strong borrowing; dark lines indicate ...
متن کاملPredicting Gleason Scores of Prostate Cancer Using Combined Trace Apparent Diffusion Coefficient and Tumor Volume
Introduction With increasing life expectancy, prostate cancer (PCA) is becoming one of the most common forms of malignancy in men. Clinically, the Gleason Scores (GS) are commonly used to assess the aggressiveness of PCA with grades from 1 to 5. The GS is one of the parameters in a strategy of staging system that predicts prognosis and helps decision of treatment options. Magnetic resonance (MR...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient of normal adrenal glands*
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility and reliability of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements of normal adrenal glands. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study involving 32 healthy subjects, divided into two groups: prepubertal (PreP, n = 12), aged from 2 months to 12.5 years (4 males; 8 females); and postpubertal (PostP, n = 20), aged from 11.9 to 61 years (5 males; 1...
متن کاملThe trouble with apparent diffusion coefficient papers
This issue of Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences includes a study (Rundle-Thiele et al.) that investigates the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based estimates of water mobility in glioblastoma tumours and expression of the prognostically important gene promoter methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT). The authors address previous inconsistent reports regarding a correlati...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient normalization of normal liver
Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been reported to be a helpful biomarker for detection and characterization of lesion. In view of the importance of ADC measurement reproducibility, the aim of this study was to probe the variability of the healthy hepatic ADC values measured at 3 MR scanners from different vendors and with different field s...
