Discrimination of Benign and Malignant Lymph Nodes at 7.0T Compared to 1.5T Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using Ultrasmall Particles of Iron Oxide

Rationale and Objectives To investigate the feasibility and performance of 7T magnetic resonance imaging compared to 1.5T imaging to discriminate benign (normal and inflammatory changed) from tumo...

Digitization of Medicine

In the era of medical cost containment, radiologists must continually maintain their actual and perceived value to patients, payers, and referring providers. Exploitation of current and future digi...

Diffusion-Weighted Imaging of Prostate Cancer on 3T MR

Rationale and Objectives To investigate the relationship between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and the Ki-67 staining index (Ki-67 SI), a tumor proliferation marker, in prostate canc...

Differentiating Calcium Oxalate and Hydroxyapatite Stones In Vivo Using Dual-Energy CT and Urine Supersaturation and pH Values

Rationale and Objectives Knowledge of urinary stone composition can guide therapeutic intervention for patients with calcium oxalate (CaOx) or hydroxyapatite (HA) stones. In this study, we determi...

Comparison of Three Different MR Perfusion Techniques and MR Spectroscopy for Multiparametric Assessment in Distinguishing Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas from Stable Disease

Rationale and Objectives Magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion techniques and MR spectroscopy (MRS) provide specific physiological information that may allow distinction between recurrent glioma and p...

Characterization of Carotid Artery Plaque Components on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using Signal Intensity of the Phantom as a Reference

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate the properties of plaque by the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it is necessary to use a material with stable signal intensity (eg, muscle or submandi...

Assessment of Trabecular Bone Yield and Post-yield Behavior from High-Resolution MRI-Based Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis at the Distal Radius of Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Women Susceptible to Osteoporosis

Rationale and Objectives To assess the performance of a nonlinear microfinite element model on predicting trabecular bone yield and post-yield behavior based on high-resolution in vivo magnetic re...

An Electronic Safety Screening Process during Inpatient Computerized Physician Order Entry Improves the Efficiency of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Exams

Rationale and Objectives Delays between order and magnetic resonance (MR) exam often result when using the conventional paper-based MR safety screening process. The impact of an electronic MR safe...

Academic Radiology in the New Health Care Delivery Environment

Rationale and Objectives Ongoing concerns over the rising cost of health care are driving large-scale changes in the way that health care is practiced and reimbursed in the United States. Materia...

A Retrieval-Based Computer-Aided Diagnosis System for the Characterization of Liver Lesions in CT Scans

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system for the characterization of liver lesions in computed tomography (CT) scans. The stand-alone predictive performance of...
