Associations of breast MR derived vascular, shape and texture parameters with histological prognostic indicators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction A number of authors have investigated associations between MR vascular parameters and traditional histopathological prognostic markers. Results have varied with some studies revealing correlations while others have failed to find any associations. The aim of this work was to determine if there were any associations not only between pretreatment MR derived vascular parameters and histopathological prognostic markers but also between MR determined shape and texture parameters with traditional prognostic indicators obtained from pre-treatment biopsies.

Comparing PET metabolic parameters with clinicopathological factors in predicting onset of early recurrence in recently diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma
Introduction: Early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major risk factor affecting survival even after hepatectomy. Many clinical, biochemical parameters and pathological grading like fibrosis 1 index have been used for risk stratifying HCC. However not many studies have combined all of them. It is therefore important to risk stratify HCC especially with newer PE...

The aim of this study was to evaluate associations between seven morphometric parameters of the nucleoli and nuclei of methyl green and pyronin Y (MG-PY) stained tumour cells of invasive ductal breast carcinoma with relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) time. Histological sections from 150 invasive ductal breast cancers were stained with MG-PY and the following parameters were e...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to use texture analysis (TA) of breast magnetic resonance (MR) images to assist in differentiating estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer molecular subtypes. METHODS Twenty-seven patients with histopathologically proven invasive ductal breast cancer were selected in preliminary study. Tumors were classified into molecular subtypes: luminal A (ER-pos...
