However, conventional imaging cannot reliably distinguish between benign and malignant renal masses, and renal mass biopsies are unable to characterise the entirety of the tumour due to sampling error, which may lead to delayed treatment or overtreatment. There is an unmet clinical need to develop novel imaging techniques to characterise renal masses more accurately. Renal tumours demonstrate characteristic metabolic reprogramming, and novel MRI methods have the potential to detect these metabolic perturbations which may therefore aid accurate characterisation. Here we present our study protocol for the Investigation of the differential biology of Benign and Malignant renal masses using advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques (IBM-Renal).","PeriodicalId":501358,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Radiology and Imaging","volume":"335 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140935932","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}

Here we present a system for acoustic noise cancellation using anti-noise derived from predicted scanner sounds. In this approach, termed predictive noise canceling (PNC), the acoustic fingerprint of an MRI system is obtained during a 60 s calibration, and used to predict anti-noise for arbitrary scan procedures. PNC achieves acoustic noise attenuation of up to 13 dB across a wide range of clinical MRI sequences, with spectral noise peak reduction of up to 96.76 % occurring between 0.6 and 1.2 kHz. These results suggest that predicted scanner noise can achieve substantial in-bore noise cancellation with the prospect of providing a cheap and scanner-independent solution for improved patient comfort.","PeriodicalId":501358,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Radiology and Imaging","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140827950","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}

Prior studies have explored spatial correlations between neuroimaging phenotypes and positron emission tomography radiotracers. However, the influence of neurotransmitters goes beyond the receptors/transporters, influencing a wider array of intracellular components as pivotal parts of neurotransmitter pathways. Here, we used unsupervised learning to understand how the brain maps of healthy function (i.e., magnetoencephalography frequency-specific power) and abnormal structure (i.e., disorder-specific cortical thickness) are closely anchored to underlying neurotransmitter pathways assessed by gene expression data. To do this, we used large-scale datasets of the Human Connectome Project (HCP), Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) and Allen Human Brain Atlas (AHBA). We considered spatial and random gene null models to mitigate false positives. We replicate our analyses using different gene stability thresholds.
