Quantitative MR Measures of Intrarenal Perfusion in the Assessment of Transplanted Kidneys

Rationale and Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate prospectively a gadolinium-based perfusion technique for intrarenal blood flow in transplanted kidneys and to determine if magnet...

Overnight Resident Interpretation of Torso CT at a Level 1 Trauma Center

Rationale and Objectives At the authors’ level 1 trauma center, postgraduate year 3 and 4 radiology residents interpret urgent overnight imaging studies, which are reviewed by attending radiologis...

National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute

The following abstracts of diagnostic radiology research and training grants funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) were awarded to principal investigators (PIs) whose primary appointmen...

Molecular PET/CT Imaging-Guided Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning

The role of positron emission tomography (PET) during the past decade has evolved rapidly from that of a pure research tool to a methodology of enormous clinical potential. 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Labeled with Dual (MR and Fluorescence) Agents in Rat Spinal Cord Injury

Rationale and Objectives In vivo tracking cells using gadolinium-based contrast agents have the important advantage of providing a positive contrast on T1-weighted images, which is less likely to ...

Investigation of Reading Mode and Relative Sensitivity as Factors That Influence Reader Performance When Using Computer-Aided Detection Software

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of relative sensitivity (reader without computer-aided detection [CAD] vs stand-alone CAD) and reading mode on reader ...

Gene Transfection to Retinal Ganglion Cells Mediated by Ultrasound Microbubbles in vitro

Rationale and Objectives To investigate the expression levels of green fluorescence protein (GFP) into retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in vitro by ultrasound-mediated microbubble destruction (UMMD) ...

Effect of the Enhancement Threshold on the Computer-Aided Detection of Breast Cancer using MRI

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate the effect that variations in the enhancement threshold have on the diagnostic accuracy of two computer-aided detection (CAD) systems for magnetic resonance ba...

Comparison of Image Quality and Arterial Enhancement with a Dedicated Coronary CTA Protocol versus a Triple Rule-Out Coronary CTA Protocol

Rationale and Objectives To compare the image quality of dedicated coronary computed tomography angiography (cCTA) to that of triple rule-out (TRO) CTA designed to evaluate the coronary arteries, ...

Clinical MR-Mammography

Rationale and Objectives Enhancement characteristics after administration of a contrast agent are regarded as a major criterion for differential diagnosis in magnetic resonance mammography (MRM). ...
