Purpose: The purpose of this study is to validate a folate-receptor (FR)-targeted dendrimer, PEG-G3-(Gd-DTPA)11-(folate)5, for its ability to detect FR-positive tumors, by using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.
Procedures: KB cells, FR siRNA knockdown KB cells, and FR negative HT-1080 cells, were incubated with fluorescein-labeled dendrimer and their cellular uptake was observed. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI was performed on mice-bearing KB and HT-1080 tumors and the enhancement patterns and parameters were analyzed.
Results: Green fluorescence was found in the KB cells in the cellular uptake experiment, but was not seen in other settings. In the dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, the 30-min washout percentage was -4 +/- 18% in the KB tumors and 39 +/- 23% in the HT-1080 tumors. A 17% cut-off point gave a sensitivity of 94.4% and a specificity of 93.8%.
Conclusions: We have demonstrated the targeting ability of PEG-G3-(Gd-DTPA)11-(folate)5 in vitro and in vivo. A 17% cut-off point for a 30-min washout percentage can be a useful parameter for the diagnosis of FR-positive tumors.

Purpose: To achieve a historical perspective, the chronological changes in primary liver cancer over a 20-year period were investigated at a single institution, focusing on shifts in etiology and the impact on imaging and pathological findings using The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of surgically resected primary liver cancer in 680 patients from 2001 to 2020 resulted in 434 patients with 482 nodules being analyzed. Dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography imaging and the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System 2018 classification were employed.
The value of multiparametric MRI radiomics and machine learning in predicting preoperative Ki-67 expression level in breast cancer.

Objective: This study was to develop a multi-parametric MRI radiomics model to predict preoperative Ki-67 status.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 patients with pathologically confirmed breast cancer were retrospectively enrolled and randomly divided into a training set (n = 84) and a validation set (n = 36). Radiomic features were derived from both the intratumoral and peritumoral regions, extending 5 mm from the tumor boundary, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The aim of this study was to evaluate patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) for the potential reperfusion of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) treated by catheter embolization using coils or embolization plugs and to analyze causes of possible reperfusion in order to further improve treatment. This retrospective study analyzed the data of 345 patients who underwent screening for pulmonary arteriovenous malformations in cases of suspected or confirmed HHT (Osler's disease). Of these, 118 patients with PAVM that underwent catheter embolization and had at least one follow-up study were included in our study and evaluated for potential reperfusion.
