Texture-based Quantification of Centrilobular Emphysema and Centrilobular Nodularity in Longitudinal CT Scans of Current and Former Smokers

Rationale and Objectives The effect of smoking cessation on centrilobular emphysema (CLE) and centrilobular nodularity (CN), two manifestations of smoking-related lung injury on computed tomograph...

Technologists' Characteristics and Quality of Positioning in Daily Practice in a Canadian Breast Cancer Screening Program

Rationale and Objectives This study evaluates to what extent technologists’ experience, training, or practice in mammography are associated with screening mammography positioning quality. Materia...

SYNTAX Score Derived From Coronary CT Angiography for Prediction of Complex Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

Highlights SYNTAX score commonly assesses coronary artery disease complexity by invasive coronary angiography (ICA). SYNTAX scores derived from coronary computed tomography angio...

Submillisievert Radiation Dose Coronary CT Angiography

Rationale and Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the noise and image quality of images reconstructed with a knowledge-based iterative model reconstruction (knowledge-based IMR) i...

Spinal Bone Bruise

Rationale and Objectives The study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) before and after calcium subtraction in the diagnosis of spinal bone bruise. Material...

Reproducibility of Parenchymal Blood Volume Measurements Using an Angiographic C-arm CT System

Rationale and Objectives Intra-procedural measurement of hepatic perfusion following liver embolization continues to be a challenge. Blood volume imaging before and after interventional procedures...

Prospective Randomized Comparison of High-pitch CT at 80 kVp Under Free Breathing with Standard-pitch CT at 100 kVp Under Breath-Hold for Detection of Pulmonary Embolism

Highlights High-pitch allows for significant reduction ( P < .001) of motion artifacts. Free breathing allows for significant reduction of Valsalva maneuver. High-pi...

MRI as Primary End Point for Pharmacologic Experiments of Liver Regeneration in a Murine Model of Partial Hepatectomy

Rationale and Objectives The study aimed to validate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based liver volumetry as a quantitative measure of hepatic regeneration in mice subjected to partial hepatecto...

MR Diffusion Tractography to Identify and Characterize Microstructural White Matter Tract Changes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients

Purpose Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a predominantly female autoimmune disease that can affect the central nervous system. Neuropsychiatric symptoms are found in 25–70% of SLE patients. U...

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells Carrying a Multimodality Reporter Gene for Fluorescence, Bioluminescence, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging In Vitro and In Vivo

Rationale and Objectives The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of imaging or tracking hepatocellular carcinoma cells by modifying these cells to carry a multimodality reporter gene, enabling...
