Introduction: Accurate assessment of aggressiveness of localized prostate cancer (PCa) is essential, because not all PCa is life-threatening and overtreatment of indolent disease should be prevented. The different functional magnetic resonance (MR) techniques, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) [1,2], MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) [3] and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI [4], show potential ...

Abstract Background The immune response following acute myocardial infarction encompasses a delicate balance between inflammatory and reparative programs. Our knowledge of these complex mechanisms is mainly derived from studies using murine model permanent coronary artery occlusion. In this study we developed, validated implemented multiparametric imaging methods to investigate cardiac function...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The hypervascular nature of parathyroid adenomas can be explored by proper dynamic imaging to narrow the target lesions for surgical exploration. The purpose of this study was to establish MR perfusion characteristics of parathyroid adenomas to differentiate them from their mimics, such as subjacent thyroid tissue and cervical lymph nodes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preopera...

Of the currently available brain imaging techniques for diagnosing tumors, diffusion-weighted MRI and perfusion are cutting-edge may provide improved diagnostic capacity compared to traditional such as positron emission tomography. Moreover, they fully non-invasive avoid exposure radiation. While in general has been used research medicine decades, more recent development of multi-modal multipar...

PURPOSE To evaluate the interobserver variability of gross tumor volume (GTV) - delineation of Dominant Intraprostatic Lesions (DIPL) in patients with prostate cancer using published MRI criteria for multiparametric MRI at 3 Tesla by 6 different observers. MATERIAL AND METHODS 90 GTV-datasets based on 15 multiparametric MRI sequences (T2w, diffusion weighted (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhance...

Abstract Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor. Molecular profiles, including IDH mutation, 1p/19q co-deletion, and MGMT promoter methylation, are highly correlated with prognosis clinical decision-making of glioma. To predict molecular profiles from rough segmentation MRI, we developed validated a gradual integration model. We proposed multi-task pseudo-3D model based on segmented mult...

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) represents the most advanced technique in diagnosis of bone tumors being more sensitive assessing marrow changes and extent compared to CT plain X-ray. The distinction between malignant benign neoplasms is mandatory for appropriate therapeutic choices planning. MRI has upper hand assessment such due its brilliant soft tissue discrimination. use multi...

The purpose of our study is to evaluate the T2 weighted sequence with multishot radial sampling (Radial Acquisition Multi-shot) also known as Multivane in Philips Healthcare, introduced by J.Pipe aim minimize motion artifacts Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In field prostate MRI useful non-cooperating patients and/or who, due their clinical conditions (such glaucoma, arrhythmia, and severe be...
