3D Assessment of Lymph Nodes vs. RECIST 1.1

Rationale and Objectives In today’s clinical practice, the size of lymph nodes is assessed by measuring the long and the short axis in the axial plane. This study compares this approach with three...

Using the Mean-to-Sigma Ratio as a Measure of the Improperness of Binormal ROC Curves

Rationale and Objectives A basic assumption for a meaningful diagnostic decision variable is that there is a monotone relationship between the decision variable and the likelihood of disease. This...

Ultrasound Biomicroscopy for the Detection of Early Osteoa rthritis in an Animal Model

Rationale and Objectives Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease, and early diagnosis is essential for preventing further cartilage destruction and decreasing severe complications. Ultrasound biom...

The Importance of ROC Data

Dear editor: The article by Gur et al presents interesting data for those who perform reader studies of radiological devices. The article reports differences between two methods of estimating a ch...

The Association of Infrared Imaging Findings of the Breast with Hormone Receptor and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Status of Breast Cancer

Rationale and Objectives Evidence on breast infrared (IR) imaging and its association with estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) statu...

Socioeconomic Status is Positively Associated with Percent Emphysema on CT Scan

Rationale and Objectives Higher socioeconomic status (SES) has been associated with lower respiratory mortality and better lung function, but whether a similar gradient exists for computed tomogra...

Screening of Asymptomatic Children for Tuberculosis

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to determine whether a lateral chest radiograph provides additional diagnostic information to a posteroanterior (PA) radiograph in the screening ...
