Rationale and Objectives Estimation of regional lung function parameters from hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance images can be very sensitive to presence of noise. Clustering pixels and averagi...

The book is divided into eight chapters covering the carotid and vertebral basilar circulations as well as the arch vessels and intracranial venous and arterial circulations. The text uses three-di...

Rationale and objectives The Dorfman-Berbaum-Metz (DBM) method has been one of the most popular methods for analyzing multireader receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) studies since it was propo...

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate the interpretation of computed tomographic pulmonary angiograms performed outside of regular reporting hours, comparing the initial interpretation by the radio...

Rationale and Objectives Malignant mesothelioma (MM) of the pleura is an aggressive and often fatal neoplasm. Because MM frequently demonstrates marked angiogenesis, it may be responsive to antian...

One of the first things I learned about newspapers was that most people liked to see their names in print. This was true if the mention was favorable or at least innocuous. The exceptions were when...

Rationale and Objectives Both magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomographic (CT) colonography are useful for colon examination. With sensitivities close to those for conventional colonoscopy (C...

Rationale and Objectives To retrospectively determine the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-directed breast ultrasonography (US) in the evaluation of indeterminate or suspicious lesions id...

Rationale and Objectives We sought to assess the performance of a real-time interactive pulmonary nodule analysis system for evaluation of chest digital radiographic (DR) images in a routine clini...

Rationale and Objectives In our earlier studies, we reported an evidence-based computer-assisted decision (CAD) system for location-specific interrogation of mammograms. A content-based image retr...
