Prediction of peritoneal free cancer cells in gastric cancer patients by golden-angle radial sampling dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.

Objectives: Peritoneal free cancer cells can negatively impact disease progression and patient outcomes in gastric cancer. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using golden-angle radial sampling dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (GRASP DCE-MRI) to predict the presence of peritoneal free cancer cells in gastric cancer patients.

Methods: All enrolled patients were consecutively divided into analysis and validation groups.

Perirenal fat thickness and liver fat fraction are independent predictors of MetS in adults with overweight and obesity suspected with NAFLD: a retrospective study.

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has a multidirectional relationship with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and used to be considered a hepatic manifestation of MetS. Perirenal fat, as a part of visceral adipose tissue (VAT), was reported to be correlated with MetS components, but data for intraorgan fat are lacking. This study was undertaken to assess the value of peripheral and intraorgan fat to predict MetS in adults with overweight and obesity with suspected NAFLD.
