CT-based diagnostic algorithm to identify bowel and/or mesenteric injury in patients with blunt abdominal trauma.

Objectives: To develop a CT-based algorithm and evaluate its performance for the diagnosis of blunt bowel and/or mesenteric injury (BBMI) in patients with blunt abdominal trauma.

Methods: This retrospective study included a training cohort of 79 patients (29 with BBMI and 50 patients with blunt abdominal trauma without BBMI) and a validation cohort of 37 patients (13 patients with BBMI and 24 patients with blunt abdominal trauma without BBMI). CT examinations were blindly analyzed by two independent radiologists.

A free time point model for dynamic contrast enhanced exploration.

Dynamic-Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) Imaging has been widely studied to characterize microcirculatory disorders associated with various diseases. Although numerous studies have demonstrated its diagnostic interest, the physiological interpretation using pharmacokinetic models often remains debatable. Indeed, to be interpretable, a model must provide, at first instance, an accurate description of the DCE data.

Effectiveness of a dedicated small bowel neoplasia screening program by capsule endoscopy in Lynch syndrome: 5 years results from a tertiary care center.

Background And Aims: The role of small bowel neoplasia (SBN) screening in asymptomatic patients with Lynch syndrome (LS) is uncertain. The aim of our study was to assess the effectiveness of screening by capsule endoscopy (CE) in these patients.

Methods: This study was an observational, analytical, and retrospective single-center study within the PRED-IdF network.

Small bowel polyp resection using device-assisted enteroscopy in Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome: Results of a specialised tertiary care centre.

Introduction: Enteroscopy resection of small bowel polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome has only been described in small case series. Herein, we aimed to assess the efficacy of enteroscopy resection of small bowel polyps within a specialised tertiary care centre and the impact on intraoperative enteroscopy.

Methods: This was an observational single-centre study.

Temporal registration: a new approach to manage the incomplete recovery of the longitudinal magnetization in the Modified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery sequence (MOLLI) for T1 mapping of the heart.

Purpose: To correct with post-processing effects of incomplete recovery of the longitudinal magnetization before a new inversion pulse in the Modified Look-Locker Inversion recovery sequence (MOLLI) sequence.

Theory And Methods: We model such effects as a temporal shift ([Formula: see text]) of the signal of the Look-Locker block following next inversion pulses. After using the following equation [Formula: see text], a temporal registration of [Formula: see text] is applied to the signal of the affected block to adjust the sampling time of the recovery signal and correct the underlying effect on quantitative T1.
