Non-invasive imaging plays an increasingly important role in assessing the extracranial vasculature. The applications of computed tomography angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) continue to expand with growing demand for stroke imaging and anatomical assessment preceding vascular intervention. Imaging of the neck is performed for a variety of clinical indications with different imaging protocols. Even on non-dedicated vascular imaging, such as soft-tissue studies, the neck ...
AIM null To evaluate the response of locoregional therapy (LRT) on combined hepatocellular–cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHC) and compare their outcomes with propensity matched hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. null null null MATERIALS AND METHODS null From January 2011 to July 2020, 13 patients with cHCC-CC (11 men, two women, median age 56 years) and 15 IHC patients (10 men, five women, median age 60 years) were compared with 101 HCC patients (79 men,...
AIM null To validate the utility of hepatic resection combined with complementary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) compared with resection alone for patients with multiple hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to compare these results with those of a previous report. null null null MATERIALS AND METHODS null A total of 78 HCC patients with multiple (≤5) tumours who were initially treated with hepatic resection only (Resection group) or with combined hepatic resection and RFA (Combination group) were ...
Aim null To evaluate the computed tomography (CT) attenuation values, background noise, arterial depiction, and image quality in whole-body dual-energy CT angiography (DECTA) at 40 keV with a reduced iodine dose using deep-learning image reconstruction (DLIR) and compare them with hybrid iterative reconstruction (IR). null Material and methods null Whole-body DECTA with a reduced iodine dose (200 mg iodine/kg) was performed in 22 patients, and DECTA data at 1.25-mm section thickness with 50% ove...

Lesions arising in or around the pineal gland comprise a heterogeneous group of pathologies ranging from benign non-neoplastic cysts to highly malignant neoplasms. Pineal cysts are frequently encountered as an incidental finding in daily radiology practice but there is no universal agreement on the criteria for, frequency of, and duration of follow-up imaging. Solid pineal neoplasms pose a diagnostic challenge owing to considerable overlap in their imaging characteristics, although a combination...

AIM null To explore the value of roundness measurement based on thin-section axial, coronal, and sagittal section computed tomography (CT) images for predicting pure ground-glass nodule (pGGN) invasiveness. null null null MATERIALS AND METHODS null A total of 168 pGGNs in 155 patients (44 male, 111 females; mean age, 55.74 ± 10.57 years), and confirmed by surgery and histopathology, were analysed retrospectively and divided into pre-invasive (n=72) and invasive (n=96) groups. Photoshop (CS6) sof...
AIM null To evaluate the addition of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in the diagnosis of breast lesions in symptomatic young Chinese women (≤30 years) diagnosed with Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 4 or 5 on ultrasound, and demonstrate the potential use of combining DBT with ultrasound. null null null MATERIALS AND METHODS null This retrospective analysis included 5 years of digital mammography (DM) and DBT data (January 2015 to July 2020). In total, 768 DBT and DM...
AIM null To report initial experiences of automatic detection of Crohn's disease (CD) using quantified motility in magnetic resonance enterography (MRE). null null null MATERIALS AND METHODS null From 302 patients, three datasets with roughly equal proportions of CD and non-CD cases with various illnesses were drawn for testing and neural network training and validation. All datasets had unique MRE parameter configurations and were performed in free breathing. Nine neural networks were devised f...
AIM null To investigate whether computed tomography (CT) radiomics can differentiate pancreatobiliary-type from intestinal-type periampullary carcinomas. null null null MATERIALS AND METHODS null CT radiomics of 96 patients (54 pancreatobiliary type and 42 intestinal type) with surgically confirmed periampullary carcinoma were assessed retrospectively. Volumes of interest (VOIs) were delineated manually. Radiomic features were extracted from preoperative CT images. A single-phase model and combi...
