Background: Minimally invasive focal therapy of low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer is becoming more common and has demonstrated lower morbidity compared to other treatments. Multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has the potential to be an effective posttreatment evaluation method for residual/recurrent neoplasm.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the ability of mpMRI to detect residual/recurrent neoplasm after focal therapy treatment of prostate cancer using a 3-point Likert scale.
Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the performance of the ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system magnetic resonance imaging (O-RADS MRI) score and perform individual MRI feature analysis for differentiating between benign and malignant ovarian teratomas.
Methods: In this institutional review board-approved retrospective study, consecutive patients with a pathology-proven fat-containing ovarian mass imaged with contrast-enhanced MRI (1.5T or 3T) from 2013 to 2022 were included.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare how consistently four trained radiologists assess the resectability of pancreatic adenocarcinoma using two types of CT scans: photon-counting CT (PCCT) and conventional energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT).
- - Results showed that there was better agreement among radiologists when evaluating vascular involvement and metastases using PCCT, indicated by higher kappa values (0.61-0.78) compared to EID-CT (0.56-0.70).
- - PCCT also demonstrated a significantly lower radiation dose (16.9 mGy) compared to EID-CT (29.8 mGy), suggesting that PCCT is not only more reliable for assessments
