Material and Methods : We explored Cochrane Library, PubMed, Google Scholar, CBM and Web of Science, databases according to the required content, and used a number of analysis equipment to analyze, and through the conclusions drawn to determine the sensitivity (Sen) and specificity (Spe), the probability ratio of pragmatic and dismissive (LR + / LR-), diagnostic factor (DOR) and receiver performance typical curve (SROC) are calculated for summary statistics. Results : The meta-analysis included nine studies that met the participation criteria. An aggregation of 636 malignant thyroid legumes and 732 benign thyroid nodules were evaluated. The comprehensive Sen was 0.79 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.76-0.82), and the comprehensive Spe was 0.89 (95% CI = 0.85-0.92). The comprehensive LR + was 7.04 (95% CI = 5.26-9.43), and the comprehensive negative LR- was 0.23 (95% CI = 0.20-0.27). The comprehensive DOR of thyroid nodules diagnosed by SMI was 30.33 (95% confidence interval = 20.73–44.38). The range beneath the SROC curve was 0.82 (95% confidence interval = 0.79 to 0.86).

Materials and Methods : The voxelized mouse phantom was constructed from real mouse CT images and simulated using the Monte Carlo GEANT4 code. According to the dynamic PET images of real mouse, the real distribution of radiopharmaceutical activity was set in the Monte Carlo simulation. The sampling method to improve the calculation efficiency was proposed. Two voxel - level dose calculation methods were implemented in this study. The average absorbed dose in vital target organs and the tumor was calculated by the proposed voxel - level dose calculation methods and the traditional MIRD method respectively. The results of the average absorbed dose calculated by the two methods were compared. Based on the voxel - level dose calculation method, the three - dimensional dose distribution in organs and the tumor was obtained and evaluated . Results : The relative difference of average absorbed dose between the two voxel - level dose calculation methods was mostly less than 10%. The sampling method proposed to improve calculation efficiency for the voxel - level dose calculation can decrease the calculation time by ~34% with less deviation. Conclusion : The results confirmed that the voxel - level dose calculation methods proposed in this study allow for more accurate and efficient assessment of the internal radiation dose.","PeriodicalId":48815,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Radiation Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82903566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, EWs/PNETs have not been demonstrated to have specific clinical characteristics and imaging findings. Case Presentation : A 13-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain following minor trauma. The patient underwent CT examination on the doctor's recommendation, which revealed contusion of the left kidney and the possibility of a space-occupying lesion in the lower pole of the left kidney. Hence, laparotomy was performed at our hospital, followed by excision of the left kidney, tumor detection and removal of hematoma. The pathological diagnosis was left kidney EWs/PNET with hemorrhagic infarction. Postoperatively, the patient did not receive radiotherapy or chemotherapy. After three months, the patient returned to the hospital for Positron Emission Topography (PET)/CT examination, and no obvious signs of tumor recurrence and metastasis were found all over the body. To date, the patient has been followed-up for 15 months, and remains alive and healthy. Conclusion : EWs/PNETs are highly invasive tumors, with frequent distant metastasis at diagnosis. Hence, early diagnosis and surgical removal of tumor tissue is critical for the prognosis of patients. CT can be used as the primary auxiliary examination of primary renal EWs/PNET. Cystic necrosis is found in the tumor tissue on the CT image. Moreover, cystic necrosis located around the tumor and septal enhancement are observed on the CT enhanced scan, which is helpful for the diagnosis of primary renal EWs/PNET.","PeriodicalId":48815,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Radiation Research","volume":"147 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88094992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
