Purpose: To investigate the changes to diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) correlated with histopathology after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).

Materials And Methods: Thirty-three patients with LACC were examined with 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with DWI and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. MRIs were performed for each patient at three timepoints: before the first NACT, 2 weeks after the first NACT, and 2 weeks after the second NACT.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how blood flow in tumors changes as cervical cancer responds to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).
  • Thirty patients underwent MRI scans at three different times during their treatment to analyze blood perfusion patterns.
  • Effective chemotherapy led to a significant decrease in blood perfusion parameters, indicating that successful treatment reduces tumor blood supply, unlike in patients who did not respond well to chemotherapy.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate whether magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) both in the sagittal and axial planes could be used to assess the response of LACC to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).

Methods: Thirty women with LACC received conventional magnetic resonance imaging and DWI at 3 different times (before NACT, 2 weeks after the first NACT, and 2 weeks after the second NACT). Treatment response was determined according to the change in tumor size 2 weeks after the second NACT, and they were classified as the effective group and the ineffective group.

Objective: To explore the method for intracranial hematoma volume measurement by the personal computer.

Methods: Forty cases of various intracranial hematomas were measured by the computer tomography with quantitative software and personal computer with Photoshop CS3 software, respectively. the data from the 2 methods were analyzed and compared.

Objective: To explore the techniques of RTIP-fMRI scanning and the correspondence between structure and functional changes of motor cortex during self-paced finger movements by RTIP-fMRI in normal volunteers.

Methods: The 15 healthy volunteers were studied by RTIP-fMRI, and the activation tasks consisted of self-paced finger movements performed with the right and the left hands. Image postprocessing was done on the workstation by "correlation coefficient" algorithm analysis method, IAC and SPM software.
