چکیده

Materials and Methods. Three medical students independently performed five manual segmentations of a biopsy-proven renal cell carcinoma that was treated with percutaneous MRI-guided cryotherapy. Using pretreatment (T2-weighted fast recovery fast spin echo [FRFSE]) and posttreatment (T1-weighted, fat-suppressed, dynamically enhanced) MRIs, regions of tumor cryonecrosis were segmented. The same tasks were repeated after an experienced abdominal radiologist provided supervised learning. Segmentation sensitivity was compared with an estimated 3D-ground truth via voxel counts for regions of tumor, both before and after treatment, and for the regions of cryonecrosis. The sensitivity of each repeated segmentation was compared against the estimated ground truth using sensitivity, overlap index, and volume (mL). Results. Supervised learning significantly improved posttreatment segmentation sensitivity (P .03). With supervised learning, the ranges of the performance metrics over the segmentation performers were: pretreated tumor, sensitivity 0.902–0.999, overlap index 0.935–0.961, and volume 19.15–23.71 mL; posttreated tumor, sensitivity 0.923–0.991, overlap index 0.952–0.981, and volume 20.67–22.70 mL; in the ablation zone, sensitivity 0.938–0.969, overlap index 0.940– 0.962, and volume 31.79–32.36 mL. Conclusions. Supervised learning improved multiperformer repeated segmentations of MRIs obtained before and after MRI-guided percutaneous cryotherapy of renal cell carcinoma. These methods may prove useful in aiding the 3D assessment of percutaneous tumor ablations.

Experimental MR imaging-guided interstitial cryotherapy of the brain.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyperthermal ablation techniques such as laser or RF ablation require dedicated heat-sensitive MR imaging sequences for monitoring MR imaging--guided interventions. Because cryotherapy does not have these limitations, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of MR imaging--guided percutaneous cryotherapy of the brain. METHODS An experimental cryoprobe w...

Calculation of total dose and dose equivalent distribution in the treatment of lung cancer using MR-guided carbon therapy

Nowadays, in order to improve the accuracy of treatment in radiation therapy, there are many attempts to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to the advantages of excellent soft tissue contrast and ultra-fast pulse sequences. On the other hand, carbon-ion radiation therapy is developing rapidly due to the benefits of greater relative biological effectiveness (RBE) and the application in the...

The value of myocardial perfusion imaging with Tc-99m MIBI for the prediction of perfusion improvement after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

  Introduction: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is an effective method for revascularizing of stenotic coronary vessels. Lack of response to this treatment, either in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients, is usually due to incomplete revascularization, restenosis, and/or irreversibility of myocardial perfusion. Introduction of a noninvasive metho...

Comparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...

Percutaneous laser photocoagulation of osteoid osteoma: Assessment of treatment in nine cases

ABSTRACT Background: Osteoid osteoma is a benign bony neoplasm and its classic treatment is surgery. In the r ecent decades percutaneous laser therapy was suggested to be replaced by surgery. In this study we have reviewed the results of the first applications of interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) for treatment of osteoid osteoma in Iranian patients. Materials and Methods: In this case s...
