Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the significance of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in predicting the likelihood of ischemic stroke recurrence over one year.
  • A retrospective analysis of 1061 ischemic stroke patients identified key WMH characteristics and clinical factors related to recurrence risk, showing that certain features like WMH volume and patient age were critical indicators.
  • The research concluded that using a nomogram that incorporates both quantitative WMHs and clinical factors significantly improves predictive accuracy for stroke recurrence compared to traditional methods.

Background: To assess the potential of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map in predicting aggressiveness of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) based on whole-tumor histogram-based analysis.

Methods: A total of 88 patients with PTC confirmed by pathology, who underwent neck magnetic resonance imaging, were enrolled in this retrospective study. Whole-lesion histogram features were extracted from ADC maps and compared between the aggressive and non-aggressive groups.

Objective: To investigate the ability of a multimodality MRI-based radiomics model in predicting the aggressiveness of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Methods: This study included consecutive patients who underwent neck magnetic resonance (MR) scans and subsequent thyroidectomy during the study period. The pathological diagnosis of thyroidectomy specimens was the gold standard to determine the aggressiveness.

Background: To determine the predictive capability of MRI-based radiomics for extrathyroidal extension detection in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) pre-surgically.

Methods: The present retrospective trial assessed individuals with thyroid nodules examined by multiparametric MRI and subsequently administered thyroid surgery. Diagnosis and extrathyroidal extension (ETE) feature of PTC were based on pathological assessment.

Background: The aim of the present study was to develop a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics model and evaluate its clinical value in predicting preoperative lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Methods: Data of 129 patients with histopathologically confirmed PTC were retrospectively reviewed in our study (90 in training group and 39 in testing group). 395 radiomics features were extracted from T2 weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and T1 weighted multiphase contrast enhancement imaging (T1C+) respectively.

Purpose: To investigate the predictive capability of machine learning-based multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging radiomics for evaluating the aggressiveness of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) preoperatively.

Methods: This prospective study enrolled consecutive patients who underwent neck MR scans and subsequent thyroidectomy during the study interval. The diagnosis and aggressiveness of PTC were determined by pathological evaluation of thyroidectomy specimens.

To identify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in the prediction of tumor aggressiveness in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).In this prospective study, 105 patients with 122 PTCs underwent MRI with T1-weighted, T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted imaging and contrast-enhanced sequences prior to thyroidectomy. Based on exclusion criteria, 62 patients with 62 PTCs were finally suitable for further analysis.
