Purpose: To assess the influence of magnetic field strength and additionally of acquisition and reconstruction parameters on the quality of high-resolution lung MRI, using a prototype Ultrashort-TE (UTE) sequence.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study received ethical approval and all participants provided written informed consent. From January to February 2018, images were obtained in 10 healthy volunteers at 1.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine whether placing patients in an ipsilateral-dependent position during percutaneous CT-guided transthoracic biopsy reduces the pneumothorax rate.
Materials And Methods: Between July 2013 and August 2017, a total of 516 patients (317 men and 199 women; mean age, 66.4 years) underwent core needle biopsies performed using 17- and 18-gauge needles.
Objective:: Increased fludeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in morphologically normal adrenal glands on positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) is a diagnostic challenge with major implications on treatment. The purpose of this retrospective study was to report our experience of CT-guided percutaneous core biopsy of morphologically normal adrenal glands showing increased FDG uptake in a context of lung cancer.
Methods:: Biopsies for non-enlarged adrenal glands showing increased FDG uptake in lung cancer patients performed at our institution from December 2014 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.
