Article Synopsis
- * New imaging technologies like perfusion MRI and molecular imaging are helping researchers study the mechanisms behind chronic knee pain, especially related to inflammation.
- * These advanced imaging techniques may lead to improved treatments and could also serve as biomarkers to predict how well patients will respond to these treatments.
Purpose: To evaluate whether quantitative [F]FDG-PET/CT assessment, including radiomic analysis of [F]FDG-positive thyroid nodules, improved the preoperative differentiation of indeterminate thyroid nodules of non-Hürthle cell and Hürthle cell cytology.
Methods: Prospectively included patients with a Bethesda III or IV thyroid nodule underwent [F]FDG-PET/CT imaging. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed for standardised uptake values (SUV) and SUV-ratios, including assessment of SUV cut-offs at which a malignant/borderline neoplasm was reliably ruled out (≥ 95% sensitivity).
Purpose: To investigate the time and effort needed to perform vertebral morphometry, as well as inter-observer agreement for identification of vertebral fractures on vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) images.
Methods: Ninety-six images were retrospectively selected, and three radiographers independently performed semi-automatic 6-point morphometry. Fractures were identified and graded using the Genant classification.
