A novel use of CT attenuation value: increased bone marrow density in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Acta Radiol
April 2023
Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 38357Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine, Maebashi, Gunma, Japan.
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults. Bone marrow computed tomography (CT) attenuation may increase in patients with myeloproliferative disorders; however, the actual threshold CT attenuation value predictive of myeloproliferative has not been reported.
Purpose: To determine whether the unenhanced CT attenuation value of the bone marrow may be useful for predicting AML.
Association Between Upper-Extremity Health Condition and Depressive Status in an Elderly General Population.
Inquiry
January 2022
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, 38357Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine, Maebashi, Japan.
Background: This study was designed to investigate whether psychological status is associated with upper-extremity health status in an elderly general population.
Methods: Using Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand of the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Hand (QuickDASH-JSSH), we evaluated 200 Japanese elderly people (76 men, 124 women; mean age, 71.6 years, 60-98 years) to assess their upper-extremity-specific health status.
Effect of decreased contrast injection flow rate on aortic enhancement in 80-KV peak CT with contrast dose reduction.
Acta Radiol
January 2023
Department of Radiology, 38146University of Yamanashi, Chuo, Yamanashi, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how a decreased injection flow rate of a contrast agent affects aortic enhancement, both through a controlled lab experiment and in a clinical setting.
- In the phantom experiment, a lower flow rate resulted in a slight reduction (6%-9%) in simulated aortic peak enhancement.
- The clinical study found that age was the only significant factor influencing aortic enhancement, while the reduced flow rate didn’t significantly impact aortic enhancement during actual CT scans.
Post-contrast Acute Kidney Injury Following Emergency Transcatheter Arterial Embolization for Uncontrollable Postpartum Hemorrhage.
Angiology
July 2021
Department of Radiology, 41678Gunma University Hospital, Maebashi, Gunma, Japan.
The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) in patients with uncontrollable postpartum hemorrhage undergoing emergency transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). Data collected included patient characteristics, serum creatinine (SCr) level before and after TAE, iodine quantity of contrast media, time between computed tomography and TAE, diabetes mellitus, hemorrhage volume, and blood transfusion volume. For the diagnosis of PC-AKI, the criteria of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology Guidelines (version 10.
