Imaging Evidence for Renomegaly in Patients with POEMS Syndrome

Rationale and Objectives Organomegaly in POEMS syndrome generally refers to the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. This study investigates whether there is a significant difference in kidney sizes in...

Gray-scale Contrast-enhanced Ultrasonography for Quantitative Evaluation of the Blood Perfusi on of the Sciatic Nerves with Crush Injury

Rationale and Objectives Blood perfusion of peripheral nerves plays an important role in regeneration after nerve injury. Functional recovery after a peripheral nerve injury depends not only on th...

Effects of Radiofrequency Ablation on Normal Lung Tissue in a Swine Model

Rationale and Objectives To determine the effect of radiofrequency (RF) ablation on normal lung tissue in an animal model. Materials and Methods RF ablation of lung tissue was performed on eight...

Diffusion Weighted Imaging in Predicting Progression Free Survival in Patients with Squamous Cell Carcinomas of the Head and Neck Treated with Induction Chemotherapy

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the role of diffusion-weighted imaging in predicting progression-free survival in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (...

Computational Analysis of Thoracic Multidetector Row HRCT for Segmentation and Quantification of Small Airway Air Trapping and Emphysema in Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Rationale and Objectives Obstructive pulmonary disease phenotypes are related to variable combinations of emphysema and small-airway disease, the latter manifested as air trapping (AT) on imaging....

Breast Tomosynthesis

Standard analog mammography is a screening success story with the proven capacity to reduce mortality from breast cancer . Conventional full-field digital mammography (FFDM) has improved the abilit...

Value-based Insurance Design

Expensive and steadily rising health care costs without a concomitant increase in quality have generated a search for solutions to fund health care in the United States. Recent health care reforms ...

Radcases Neuro Imaging

This first-edition, case review book of neuroradiology is a great review book for radiology residents reviewing for oral boards and for neuroradiologists reviewing for their certificates of added q...

Preinjected Fluids do not Benefit Microwave Ablation as Those in Radiofrequency Ablation

Rationale and Objectives To detect whether the efficacy of microwave ablation (MWA) could be improved by preinjected fluids in an ex vivo porcine liver model. Materials and Methods Ablations wer...

Normal Tissue Quantitative T1 and T2∗ MRI Relaxation Time Responses to Hypercapnic and Hyperoxic Gases

Rationale and Objectives Longitudinal (T 1 ) and effective transverse (T 2 ∗) magnetic resonance (MR) relaxation times provide noninvasive measures of tissue oxygenation. The objective for this ...
