The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of adjusted WW for deep learning reconstruction (DLR) in detecting hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) on CT with DLR. This retrospective study included thirty-five patients who underwent abdominal dynamic contrast-enhanced CT. DLR was used to reconstruct arterial, portal, and delayed phase images. The investigation of the optimal WW involved two blinded readers. Then, five other blinded readers independently read the image sets for detection of HCCs and evaluation of image quality with optimal or conventional liver WW. The optimal WW for detection of HCC was 119 (rounded to 120 in the subsequent analyses) Hounsfield unit (HU), which was the average of adjusted WW in the arterial, portal, and delayed phases. The average figures of merit for the readers for the jackknife alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic analysis to detect HCC were 0.809 (reader 1/2/3/4/5, 0.765/0.798/0.892/0.764/0.827) in the optimal WW (120 HU) and 0.765 (reader 1/2/3/4/5, 0.707/0.769/0.838/0.720/0.791) in the conventional WW (150 HU), and statistically significant difference was observed between them (p < 0.001). Image quality in the optimal WW was superior to those in the conventional WW, and significant difference was seen for some readers (p < 0.041). The optimal WW for detection of HCC was narrower than conventional WW on dynamic contrast-enhanced CT with DLR. Compared with the conventional liver WW, optimal liver WW significantly improved detection performance of HCC.","PeriodicalId":46252,"journal":{"name":"Radiological Physics and Technology","volume":" ","pages":"658-665"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11341740/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141248828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Au NPs were covered with ALA using PEG polymer, resulting in the synthesis of Au@ALA NPs. The successful synthesis of the final NPs was confirmed through FTIR, XRD, TEM, and UV-Vis tests. MCF-10A and MCF-7 cell lines were treated with different concentrations of Au@ALA NPs and exposed to irradiation of 2 and 4 Gy (using MV X-ray) and 630 nm laser light irradiation. Cytotoxicity was assessed using a multifaceted approach involving the MTT assay, real-time PCR, and colony forming assay. The findings revealed that the damage inflicted by Au@ALA NPs on cancerous tissue was significantly greater than that on normal tissue. The cytotoxic effects of all experimental groups exhibited a direct correlation with increasing concentrations and radiation doses. The combination of Au@ALA NPs with RT doses of 2 and 4 Gy resulted in a reduction in cell viability by a factor of 1.58 (P = 0.001) and 1.73 (P = 0.004), respectively. Furthermore, the simultaneous intervention of NPs with PDT and RT at doses of 2 and 4 Gy led to a decrease in cell viability by a factor of 2.10 (P = 0.001) and 3.08 (P = 0.001) in turn. Furthermore, the real-time PCR and colonogenic assay results demonstrated that the combined treatment significantly increased phosphorylation of ATM and expression of TP53, indicating an adequate synergistic effect on breast cancer cells. The concurrent application of Au@ALA NPs in RT and PDT successfully enhanced the radiosensitization of breast cancer cells to megavoltage RT and PDT.","PeriodicalId":46252,"journal":{"name":"Radiological Physics and Technology","volume":" ","pages":"703-714"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141628064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assigned 70 patients undergoing radiotherapy for head and neck cancer to groups V (n = 34) or N (n = 36) according to whether the VIDs were deflated weekly or not deflated during treatment, respectively. We calculated systematic errors (Σ) as the standard deviations (SDs) of mean errors, and random errors (σ) as the root mean square of SDs in each patient. We compared overall means (μ), SDs (SDoverall), random errors and systematic errors. We also measured temporary pressure changes in VIDs to determine the influence of pressure changes in VIDs on setup errors. The μ was within 0.20 mm and 0.2° in both groups, whereas SDoverall significantly differed between them. The SDoverall differed the most in the Roll axes of groups N (0. 87°) and V (0.58°). The Σ and σ values were lower in all axes of group V than in group N. Despite the initial deflation target of - 70 kPa, the pressure in VIDs reached - 5 kPa at the end of treatment. However, weekly deflation apparently maintained pressure at - 20 kPa. Effective pressure control in VIDs can reduce patient-by-patient variation and improve setup reproducibility for individual patients, consequently resulting in small variations among overall setup errors.","PeriodicalId":46252,"journal":{"name":"Radiological Physics and Technology","volume":" ","pages":"697-702"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141421354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty-six legs of 13 volunteers were scanned using non-CE T2prep MSG-EPI-MRA at three spatial resolutions: 1.0-, 0.8-, and 0.6-mm isotropic voxels. The location and number of peroneal artery perforators that could be candidates for free fibula flaps were identified by consensus among three plastic surgeons. Surgeons distinguished between septocutaneous and musculocutaneous perforators using MRA, and confirmed the accuracy of their presence and identification using ultrasonography (US). The ability to detect hypoplasia or stenosis of the anterior tibial, posterior tibial, and peroneal arteries was evaluated by confirming the consistency between the MRA and US results. The number of cutaneous perforators identified using MRA and confirmed using US was 39, 51, and 52 at each respective resolution. The discrimination accuracies between septocutaneous and musculocutaneous perforators were 92.3%, 96.1%, and 96.2%. The number of identified septocutaneous perforators was 1.3 ± 0.6, 1.6 ± 0.8, and 1.7 ± 0.8 at 1.0-, 0.8-, and 0.6-mm data, respectively. All the MRA results, including hypoplasia and stenosis, were consistent with the US results. Non-CE T2prep MSG-EPI-MRA with a spatial resolution of 0.8 mm or less shows promise for identifying septocutaneous perforators of the peroneal artery, suggesting its potential as an alternative to conventional imaging methods for the preoperative planning of free fibula osteocutaneous flap transfers.","PeriodicalId":46252,"journal":{"name":"Radiological Physics and Technology","volume":" ","pages":"610-619"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141157741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The contrast enhancement of the abdominal aorta, portal vein, hepatic vein, and hepatic parenchyma was calculated for HAP. The adequacy of the scan timing for HAP was assessed using three classifications: early, appropriate, or late. The effect of HAP on scan timing adequacy was determined using multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the optimal cutoff value of CTR was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. The trigger times for bolus tracking (odds ratio: 1.58) and CTR (odds ratio: 1.23) were significantly affected by the appropriate scan timing of the HAP. The optimal cutoff value of CTR was 59.3%. The scan timing of HAP with a scan delay of 15 s was 14% of early and 86% of appropriate, and the proportion of early in CTR ≥ 60% (early, 52%; appropriate, 48%) was higher than that in CTR < 60% (early, 6%; appropriate, 94%). Adjusting the scan delay to 20 s in CTR ≥ 60% increased the proportion of appropriate (early, 4%; appropriate, 96%). The CTR of a CT scout image is an effective index for determining the scan delay for bolus tracking. Adjusting the scan delay by CTR can provide appropriate HAP images in more patients.

We used datasets collected from various institutions, scanner vendors, and magnetic field strengths for each target CADe software. We compared the performance of multiple strategies, including a centralized strategy, in which software development is conducted at a development institution after collecting de-identified data from multiple institutions. Our results showed that the performance of CADe software trained through distributed learning was equal to or better than that trained through the centralized strategy.
