A significant challenge in NPC management is skull-base bone invasion (SBBI), which affects prognosis and treatment planning. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the primary diagnostic tool for SBBI in NPC patients; however, the detection of SBBI can be challenging due to skull-base complexity and overlapping MRI signals. &lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt;fluorine-sodium fluoride (&lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt;F-NaF) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is an emerging imaging technique that has shown promise in detecting osseous lesions. This cohort study aimed to assess the supplementary diagnostic value of &lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt;F-NaF PET/CT in detecting SBBI in NPC patients compared to that of MRI alone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Imaging data were retrospectively collected from &lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt;F-NaF PET/CT and head-and-neck MRI examinations conducted within a 7-day period. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of &lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt;F-NaF PET/CT, MRI, and the combination of both modalities in detecting SBBI were individually assessed. Both lesion- and patient-based analyses were employed for the comparison. Cochran's Q test was used to compare the accuracy of these methods, while the Bonferroni-corrected McNemar test was used for the pairwise comparisons.

Assessment of these dynamics offers insights into early HF diagnosis. This study aimed to analyze left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) blood flow parameters, specifically peak blood flow velocity and pressure gradient derived from four-dimensional flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (4D flow CMR), and to evaluate 4D flow CMR's utility in distinguishing HF types.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This prospective cross-sectional study recruited 115 HF patients from January 2019 to May 2022 at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, classified by the New York Heart Association Cardiac Function Classification of Heart Failure as class II-IV, alongside a control group (n=30). Participants underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), including 4D flow. HF patients were categorized into heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF, n=55), heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF, n=30), and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF, n=30), based on ejection fraction. The cardiac functional parameters and aortic valve flow indices were measured using Circle Cardiovascular Imaging. LVOT 4D flow data were obtained 3 mm below the junction of the aortic valve leaflets, assessing peak velocities above and below the valve. Differences in cardiac function and blood flow parameters between groups were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).

The use of prostate MRI as a preliminary test in men with a suspicion on prostate cancer leads to an increased use of the test. The aim of this study was to solve a clinically significant problem: to ensure the reduction of artifacts from metal hip implants during prostate MRI. Another goal was to evaluate the impact of artifact reduction methods on quantitative measurements.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The prostate gland (PG) phantom model was a cylinder filled with an aqueous solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone at the concentrations of 40%, 30%, and 20% [central zone (CZ), peripheral zone (PZ), and \"lesion\", respectively]. Phantom MRI study was conducted on Philips Ingenia 1.5T and Philips Ingenia 3T scanners.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>For 1.5 T, the reduction in the influence of artifacts inside region of interest (ROI) was observed, expressed in a decrease in the average apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) (CZ, PZ, \"lesion\") for the manual artifact reduction (MAR) and ZOOM (title of software artifact reduction) techniques compared to the standard method. For 3T this effect was not detected. The same ADC results were obtained for Standard and MAR techniques, and increased ADC values for ZOOM. Despite the fact that the spread of ADC values on 3.0T scanners was minimal, there was a significant deviation of ADC values from the reference ones (up to 30.4%). Therefore, it is necessary to use a correction coefficient in the ADC calculation for the 3.0 T device. In the presented clinical case, high-quality tomograms were obtained without any artifacts, despite the presence of two hip replacement devices in the scanning area.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The accurate prostate MRI in the presence of implants is essential for an accurate diagnosis. This approach allows to reduce artifacts from hip implants, to visualize PG and periprostatic tissue in the best way, and to detect malignant and benign changes.</p>","PeriodicalId":54267,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery","volume":"14 10","pages":"7128-7137"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11485349/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142480656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
