Background: Recent advanced in radiomics analysis could help to identify breast cancer among benign mammary masses. The aim was to create a radiomics signature using breast DCE-MRI extracted features to classify tumors and to compare the performances with the BI-RADS classification.
Material And Methods: From September 2017 to December 2019 images, exams and records from consecutive patients with mammary masses on breast DCE-MRI and available histology from one center were retrospectively reviewed (79 patients, 97 masses).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) affects uterus size in women who survived childhood acute leukemia, focusing on the age at HSCT and conditioning type.
- Conducted at 13 French university hospitals, the prospective cohort study included 88 female HSCT survivors compared to a control group, using MRI to measure uterine volume.
- Results showed a significant reduction in uterine volume among HSCT survivors, with those receiving total body irradiation experiencing a 75.3% decrease, compared to a 43.1% decrease in those who received an alkylating agent-based regimen.
Objectives: The goals of this pictorial essay are: (1) to set out a multislice computed tomography (MSCT) imaging protocol to assess infective endocarditis (IE); (2) to give an MSCT overview of valvular and peri-valvular involvement during IE; (3) to give a CT overview of septic embolism and infectious pseudoaneurysms during IE.
Methods: MSCT acquisition protocols to assess IE are performed in two different phases: the first acquisition, under electrocardiography (ECG) gating, covers the cardiac structures during first-pass iodine injection; the second acquisition covers the thorax, abdomen, pelvic and cerebral regions.
Results: Valvular and peri-valvular lesions during IE are: vegetation-a hypodense, homogeneous, irregular mass on a valve or endocardial structure; perforation-a defect in the leaflet; valvular aneurysm-loss of the homogenous curvature of the leaflet; valvular thickening; peri-valvular abscess; pseudoaneurysm; fistula and disinsertion of a prosthetic valve.
Aim: In metastatic melanoma (MM) there is an agreement that a fast or slow progression should influence the choice between drugs with immediate impact (BRAF-inh) or delayed (ipilimumab) activity. MM kinetics thus appears crucial for medical decision, although only estimated through surrogate markers (tumour load or lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)). Our objective was to show that 1-MM kinetics can be measured and 2- is a real prognostic factor.
