Purpose: We aimed to evaluate 4Kscore and ExosomeDx™ with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in the detection of high grade prostate cancer and number of biopsies avoided.
Material And Methods: Patients had 1 liquid biomarker test with or without multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging. High grade prostate cancer was defined as Gleason grade group 2 or greater. The overall number of avoided biopsies (with Gleason grade 1 or less), and number of missed Gleason grade 2 or greater cancer among the biopsied patients, were determined.
Results: Of the 783 patients in the overall cohort 419 (53.5%) underwent biopsy. 4Kscore and ExosomeDx scores higher than the manufacturers' cut point were associated with PI-RADS™ scores 3 to 5 and Gleason grade 2 or greater prostate cancer. Limiting biopsy to the men with liquid biomarker scores above the manufacturers' cut point would have resulted avoiding 29.5% to 39.9% unnecessary biopsies overall, while missing 4.0% to 4.8% Gleason grade 2 or greater prostate cancer in the biopsy group. Screening algorithms with up-front liquid biomarker testing followed by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging if the biomarker is above the manufacturers' cut point, then followed by biopsy if the multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging is positive or if 4Kscore 20 or greater or ExosomeDx 19 or greater would have missed 4.8% to 5.6% of Gleason grade 2 or greater prostate cancer in the biopsy group while avoiding 39.4% to 43.0% biopsies and 29.5% to 39.9% multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging overall. Similar algorithms with up-front multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging followed by liquid biomarker testing for negative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging would have missed 2.4% of Gleason grade 2 or greater prostate cancer in the biopsy group but only avoided 17.2% 19.3% biopsies overall.
Conclusions: Screening algorithms with up-front liquid biomarker testing followed by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and biopsy at certain biomarker thresholds could reduce unnecessary biopsies, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and overdetection of Gleason grade 1 prostate cancer.

Nyquist Ghost Elimination for Diffusion MRI by Dual-polarity Readout at Low b-values.

Dual-polarity readout is a simple and robust way to mitigate Nyquist ghosting in diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging but imposes doubled scan time. We here propose how dual-polarity readout can be implemented with little or no increase in scan time by exploiting an observed b-value dependence and signal averaging. The b-value dependence was confirmed in healthy volunteers with distinct ghosting at low b-values but of negligible magnitude at b = 1000 s/mm2.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a significant predictor of the early progression of Alzheimer's disease, and it can be used as an important indicator of disease progression. However, many existing methods focus mainly on the image itself when processing brain imaging data, ignoring other non-imaging data (e.g.

Chronic pain is a pervasive and debilitating condition with increasing implications for public health, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Despite its high prevalence, the underlying neural mechanisms and pathophysiology remain only partly understood. Since its introduction 35 years ago, brain diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a powerful tool to investigate changes in white matter microstructure and connectivity associated with chronic pain.

This study presents the construction of a comprehensive spatiotemporal atlas of white matter tracts in the fetal brain for every gestational week between 23 and 36 wk using diffusion MRI (dMRI). Our research leverages data collected from fetal MRI scans, capturing the dynamic changes in the brain's architecture and microstructure during this critical period. The atlas includes 60 distinct white matter tracts, including commissural, projection, and association fibers.

Objective: The objective was to comprehensively investigate the clinical, molecular, and imaging characteristics and outcomes of H3 K27-altered diffuse midline glioma (DMG) in adults.
Methods: Retrospective chart and imaging reviews were performed in 111 adult patients with H3 K27-altered DMG from two tertiary institutions. Clinical, molecular, imaging, and survival characteristics were analyzed.
