Rationale and Objectives To introduce a simple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol for quantitative assessment of intraperitoneal, retroperitoneal, and subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) and t...

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate the ex vivo ablation zones created in hepatic tissue using monopolar and bipolar gas- and water-cooled radiofrequency (RF) applicators. Materials and Methods ...

The mainstays of radiologic education include independent reading, didactic lectures, proctored case conferences, and mentored clinical practice with progressive autonomy. However, the advent of th...

Rationale and Objectives Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the pelvis at 3T is prone to artifacts that diminish the image quality. Readout-segmented echo-planar imaging (RS-EPI) is a new DWI tec...

Rationale and Objectives The objectives of this study were to measure the parallel changes of transverse relaxation times (T 2 ), spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame (T 1ρ ), and ...

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate, in a group of candidates for liver donation, the role of unenhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) as noninvasive means to measure hepat...

It is estimated that more than 3 billion medical and dental radiologic studies are performed each year around the world . In most of the cases, the images are used for only one purpose: to assess t...

Rationale and Objectives Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) offers various fields of application, especially in angiography using virtual monoenergetic imaging. The aim of this study was to ev...

Rationale and Objectives To compare in dual-energy CT (DECT) conventionally reconstructed polyenergetic images (PEI) at 120 kVp to virtual monoenergetic images (MEI) at different kiloelectron volt...

As another wave of medical students crashes upon the shore of radiology residency programs during interview season, I am always amazed at the enthusiasm and inquisitiveness that each new group of a...
