Comparison of ability of lesion detection of two MRI sequences of T2WI HASTE and T2WI BLADE for hepatocellular carcinoma.

We investigated the diagnostic accuracy of 2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences of T2 weighted image (T2WI) half-Fourier acquired single turbo spin-echo (HASTE) and BLADE, for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) detection. From November 2010 to August 2018, patients diagnosed with HCC and regularly followed up, and who underwent MRI with 2 kinds of T2WI, were included in this study. The diagnosis of HCC was established based on histopathological findings or LI-RADS 4 and 5 by image.

Imaging Markers of Subcortical Vascular Dementia in Patients With Multiple-Lobar Cerebral Microbleeds.

Small vessel disease (SVD) imaging markers are related to ischemic and hemorrhage stroke and to cognitive dysfunction. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between SVD imaging markers and subcortical vascular dementia in severe SVD burden. A total of 57 subjects with multiple lobar cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and four established SVD imaging markers were enrolled from the dementia and stroke registries of a single center.
