The Influence of Anthropometric Factors on Renal mpMRI: Insights From Regional Analysis.

Background: Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) provides detailed insights into renal function, but the impact of anthropometric factors on renal imaging is not fully understood.

Purpose: To investigate regional correlations between mpMRI parameters and age, body mass index (BMI), and body surface area (BSA).

Study Type: Prospective, cross-sectional observational study.

Concentric-object and equiangular-object methods to perform standardized regional analysis in renal mpMRI.

Objective: Renal multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) sequences, including T-T mapping, Blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD), Renal blood flow (RBF), and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), provide insights into kidney function. However, consensus on selecting regions of interest (ROIs) is lacking. This study aims to describe and compare the Concentric Objects (CO) and Equiangular Objects (EO) methods for standardized ROI selection and assess their efficacy in capturing regional variations in renal MRI parameters.

Retrospective analysis of multiparametric MRI in predicting complete pathologic response of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in bladder cancer.

Background: Muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) treatment combines systemic therapy and radical cystectomy (RC) or local (chemo-)radiotherapy. Response to systemic therapy is an important outcome predictor but is difficult to assess pre-operatively.

Methods: We analyzed multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) in consecutive MIBC patients receiving cisplatin-based neo-adjuvant chemotherapy at our institution.
