Article Synopsis
- The study compares two imaging techniques, single-shot echo-planar imaging (SS EPI) and FOCUS MUSE, for assessing thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) in patients.
- FOCUS MUSE outperformed SS EPI in image quality, signal-to-noise ratio, and the ability to differentiate between active and inactive TAO.
- Both imaging methods showed a significant correlation between the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of extraocular muscles and clinical activity scores, with FOCUS MUSE showing stronger results.
Background: Middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion is extremely common, especially unilateral artery, which can result in a significant incidence of cerebral infarction.
Objective: To assess the value of whole-brain computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging combined with dynamic CT angiography (dCTA) in the evaluation of pial collateral circulation in patients with MCA occlusion.
Methods: Whole-brain CTP and dCTA images were acquired in 58 patients with unilateral MCA occlusion.
Objective: To compare the spectral computed tomography (CT) imaging parameters between squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) at the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ).
Methods: A total of 80 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. Among them, 35 were diagnosed with SCC (SCC group) and 45 were diagnosed with AC (AC group).
