Intra-observer, inter-observer and inter-scanner variations in brain MRI volume measurements in multiple sclerosis.
INTRODUCTION Measurement of brain volume on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans is regarded as an objective marker of multiple sclerosis (MS) severity with the potential to monitor treatment efficacy accurately. This study was performed to assess the variability of brain MRI volume measurements. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied nine patients with relapsing-remitting MS, who were imaged on t...
متن کاملInter-Observer Agreement in Measuring Respiratory Rate
BACKGROUND Respiratory rate (RR) is an important vital sign which is strongly correlated with in-hospital mortality. At the same time, RR is the most likely vital sign to be omitted when assessing a patient. We believe that one reason for this could be the difficulty in measure the RR, since it is not read off a monitor, but counted manually. Also there is the possibility of assessment bias and...
متن کاملInter-observer agreement in myelodysplastic syndromes.
We read with great interest the recent paper by Senent et al. and the accompanying editorial on the reproducibility of WHO 2008 criteria and inter-observer agreement regarding the assessment of dysplasia for diagnosis and classification of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The reproducibility of any composite criteria is mainly based on both the constituting components and the precise manner in ...
متن کاملDiagnostic utility of whole body Dixon MRI in multiple myeloma: A multi-reader study
OBJECTIVE To determine which of four Dixon image types [in-phase (IP), out-of-phase (OP), fat only (FO) and water-only (WO)] is most sensitive for detecting multiple myeloma (MM) focal lesions on whole body MRI (WB-MRI) images. METHODS Thirty patients with clinically-suspected MM underwent WB-MRI at 3 Tesla. Unenhanced IP, OP, FO and WO Dixon images were generated and read by four radiologist...
متن کاملWhole body diffusion weighted MRI – a new view of myeloma
The recent consensus statement from the International Myeloma Working Group has introduced the role of whole body (WB) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into the management pathway for patients with multiple myeloma. The speed, coverage and high sensitivity of WB diffusion weighted (DW)-MRI and the unique capability to quantify both burden of disease and response to treatment has led to increasi...
