Purpose: To evaluate whether mangafodipir trisodium (Mn-DPDP)-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging surpasses dual-phase spiral computed tomography (CT) in differentiating focal liver lesions.
Materials And Methods: One hundred forty-five patients who had or were suspected of having focal liver lesions were included in a multicenter study and underwent dual-phase spiral CT and enhanced MR imaging. Image interpretations performed by independent experienced radiologists were compared with the final diagnosis that was based on all available clinical information (including histopathologic findings in 77 patients) and that was determined with consensus. Differences in classifications by using either enhanced MR imaging or dual-phase spiral CT were analyzed with the McNemar test, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to compare the diagnostic performance of enhanced MR imaging and dual-phase spiral CT.
Results: Lesion classification was correct in 108 (74%) patients with enhanced MR imaging and in 83 (57%) with dual-phase spiral CT (P =.001). Lesions were correctly classified as either malignant or benign in 123 (85%) patients with enhanced MR imaging and in 98 (68%) with dual-phase spiral CT (P =.001). Classification of lesions as either hepatocellular or nonhepatocellular was correct in 130 (90%) patients with enhanced MR imaging and in 93 (64%) with dual-phase spiral CT (P =.001). These differences remained when analyses were restricted to histopathologically confirmed diagnoses. Comparison of the ROC curves illustrated that enhanced MR imaging performance surpassed that of dual-phase spiral CT.
Conclusion: Mn-DPDP-enhanced MR imaging is superior to dual-phase spiral CT in classification of focal liver lesions.

Wearable and stretchable sensors are important components to strictly monitor the behavior and health of humans and attract extensive attention. However, traditional sensors are designed with pure horseshoes or chiral metamaterials, which restrict the biological tissue engineer applications due to their narrow regulation ranges of the elastic modulus and the poorly adjustable Poisson's ratio. Inspired by the biological spiral microstructure, a dual-phase metamaterial (chiral-horseshoes) is designed and fabricated in this work, which possesses wide and programmable mechanical properties by tailoring the geometrical parameters.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the accuracy of dual-phase C-arm cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for detecting colorectal cancer liver metastases compared to multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).
- Conducted between March 2014 and December 2016, it involved 49 patients who underwent both MDCT and CBCT with iodine injection before treatment, with results assessed by two blinded observers.
- Findings indicated that the early arterial phase (EAP) had low diagnostic accuracy, while the late arterial phase (LAP) demonstrated significantly better accuracy for tumor detection.

Background: Treatment of adrenal metastasis from lung carcinoma may prolong survival in the selected patients. However, not all patients can undergo surgery; thus, minimally invasive ablation procedures such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) have gained acceptance as alternative treatment methods. This study summarized a 5-year single-center experience regarding the evaluation of safety and efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided thermal ablation in the management of adrenal metastasis originating from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
