Background: The structure of thrombi plays an important role in delaying reperfusion and re-occlusion after intravenous thrombolysis and could influence the performance of mechanical thrombectomy devices. This study aims to distinguish various thrombi groups based on their T2 and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) properties.
Methods: 26 venous thrombi (VT), 28 acute (aPTE) and 18 chronic pulmonary thromboemboli (cPTE) and 18 sedimented clots (SC) were scanned by a three-dimensional T1 -weighted spin-echo sequence and by T2 and ADC mapping. Immunohistochemical analysis was used as a reference. Differences in the ADC, T2 and paired ADC-T2 distributions between the various thrombi group pairs were analyzed by standard statistics as well as by overlap integrals.
Results: Paired ADC-T2 distribution enabled the most efficient discrimination of structural changes between pairs of thrombi. For thrombi pairs VT-cPTE, VT-SC, aPTE-cPTE, aPTE-SC, cPTE-SC differences were statistically significant (pADC , pT 2 , pADC-T 2 < 0.05) and the values of the overlap integrals were low (OIADC ≤ 0.505, OIT2 ≤ 0.823, OIADC-T2 ≤ 0.379). Least efficient was the structural discrimination for the VT-aPTE pair (pT 2 = 0.877, OIT2 = 0.940).
Conclusion: Multiparametric MRI is an efficient method for discriminating different thrombi groups at various stages of organization.

Urinary bladder cancer is a global disease that poses medical and socioeconomic challenges to patients and healthcare systems. Predicting detrusor invasiveness and pathological grade of bladder cancer by the radiologist is imperative for informed decision-making and effective patient-tailored therapy. Cystoscopy and TURBT are the current gold standard for preoperative histologic diagnosis and local pathological staging but are compromised by their intrusiveness, under-sampling, and staging inaccuracies.

Purpose: Fluorine-18 prostate-specific membrane antigen-1007 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT) has been shown to be superior to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the locoregional staging of intermediate-risk and high-risk prostate tumors. This study aims to evaluate whether it is also superior in estimating tumor parameters, such as three-dimensional spatial localization and volume.
Methods: 134 participants underwent F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT and MRI prior to radical prostatectomy as part of the validating paired-cohort Next Generation Trial (NCT05141760).

Introduction: Prior researches have reported abnormal changes of thalamus in patients with subcortical ischemic vascular disease (SIVD), which was usually analyzed as a whole. However, it was currently unclear whether the structure, function and connectivity of thalamic subregions were differentially affected by this disease and affected different cognitive functions.
Methods: This study recruited 30 SIVD patients with cognitive impairment (SIVD-CI), 30 SIVD patients with cognitive unimpaired (SIVD-CU) and 32 normal controls.

Background: Multiparametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has an emerging role in non-invasive surveillance of pediatric heart transplant recipients (PHTR). Higher myocardial T2, higher extracellular volume fraction (ECV), and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) have been associated with adverse clinical outcomes in adult heart transplant recipients. This study's purpose was to investigate the prognostic value of CMR-derived T1- and T2-mapping, ECV, and LGE for clinical outcomes in PHTR.
