CRLM (red square); (B,C) The corresponding T1W images obtained before (B) and 66 sec after (C) i.v. injection of Gd-DTPA; The suspected lesion was not enhanced with DCE-MRI (B, enlarged square), despite the injection success as the whole liver was enhanced (C). In the corresponding HRI maps (D-ΔSo2 map; E-ΔSco2 map), the suspected CRLM were clearly highlighted (D,E circles). Bar=1 cm in A and applies for all images; B C

FDG-PET/MRI fused data sets for the detection of liver metastases in patients undergoing systemic anticancer treatment
Background: To retrospectively describe imaging characteristics of liver metastases on fused FDG-PET/ MRI data sets and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of MRI and fused FDG-PET/MRI data sets for the detection of liver metastases in patients undergoing systemic anticancer treatment. Materials and Methods: 43 oncological patients (mean age: 56+/- 11 years) were investigated by FDG-PET...
متن کامل99mTc-DMSA (V) in detection of metastases of medullary thyroid carcinoma
Introduction: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare thyroid cancer secreting calcitonin (CT) which is the most sensitive and specific tumor marker for MTC. This type of thyroid cancer is able to metastasize to different body areas including regional lymph nodes, lungs, liver and bone. The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity and specificity of [99mTc-DMSA (V)] whole body ...
متن کاملQuantitative functional MRI biomarkers improved early detection of colorectal liver metastases.
PURPOSE To implement and evaluate the performance of a computerized statistical tool designed for robust and quantitative analysis of hemodynamic response imaging (HRI) -derived maps for the early identification of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). MATERIALS AND METHODS CRLM-bearing mice were scanned during the early stage of tumor growth and subsequently during the advanced-stage. Three ex...
متن کاملDetection of Glioblastoma Multiforme Tumor in Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Based on Support Vector Machine
Introduction: The brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain, which is one of the most important challenges in neurology. Brain tumors have different types. Some brain tumors are benign and some brain tumors are cancerous and malignant. Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most common and deadliest malignant brain tumor in adults. The average survival rate for peo...
متن کاملLocally Estimated Hemodynamic Response Function and Activation Detection Sensitivity in Heroin-Cue Reactivity Study
Introduction: A fixed hemodynamic response function (HRF) is commonly used for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis. However, HRF may vary from region to region and subject to subject. We investigated the effect of locally estimated HRF (in functionally homogenous parcels) on activation detection sensitivity in a heroin cue reactivity study. Methods: We proposed...
