Rationale and Objectives Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction is a promising technology for the targeted gene delivery. The purpose of the present study is to prepare a novel lipid ultrasou...

Rationale and Objectives This study is conducted to estimate the sensitivity of stereotactic directional vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (ST DVAB) using Bayesian modeling and to predict how many mor...

Rationale and Objectives A lack of pancreatic duct compliance and decreased duodenal filling on secretin-stimulated magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (s-MRCP) has been noted in patients ...

In 1978, Sinner reported computed tomographic (CT) findings of pulmonary thromboembolism and infarction for the first time, and CT imaging has been considered a useful modality for diagnosing proxi...

Rationale and Objectives In patients with adenomyosis, the severity of symptoms correlates roughly with the extent of adenomyosis. Thus, it was hypothesized that the ablation of enough volume of a...

Rationale and Objectives Ultrasound is a proven method for examining soft tissue structures, including tendons, and recently quantitative ultrasound has become more prevalent in research settings....

Rationale and Objectives The aims of this study were to determine diagnostic radiology faculty members’ compliance with recommended health guidelines for physical activity, body weight, diet, and ...

Rationale and Objectives Conventional mammographic image contrast is derived from x-ray absorption, resulting in breast structure visualization due to density gradients that attenuate radiation wi...

Rationale and Objectives Phosphorous magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 31 P MRS) has been used to evaluate and predict treatment response in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). ...

The indications and applications for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) are continually expanding, and in the era of “image gently” , MR is steadily replacing computed tomography for many diagno...
