This study demonstrates the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automated detection and segmentation of the ECU tendon and tendinosis in 2D axial wrist MRI.Purpose: To develop a CNN for the automated detection of ECU tendon and automatic delineation of tendinosis in 2D wrist MRI. The study serves as a proof-of-concept, demonstrating the feasibility of automating the segmentation of musculoskeletal structures in wrist MRI and offering an efficient solution for detecting tendinosis.Material and methods: In a retrospective analysis of 1081 patients undergoing wrist MRI imaging, 46 patients exhibited tendinosis. Two deep learning-based methods for segmenting the ECU tendon and T2 hyperintense lesions indicative of tendinosis from 2D axial wrist MRI series were developed and compared in this study. Both methods were trained and evaluated over all 46 patients using Dice score as the main evaluation metric.Results: The mean ECU tendon segmentation Dice score ranged from 0.61 to 0.64 (± 0.27 to 0.31). Tendinosis detection yielded a Dice score of 0.38 for both the threshold method (±0.19) and the CNN (±0.22). A Dice score > 0.50 indicated successful detection, with our methods achieving a detection rate of 72-76%.Conclusion: The developed CNN effectively detected and segmented the ECU tendon in 2D MRI series. Tendinosis was detected with comparable accuracy using both signal intensity thresholding and the trained CNN method.","PeriodicalId":72063,"journal":{"name":"Acta radiologica open","volume":"13 11","pages":"20584601241297530"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11608437/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142775136","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}

A fine-tuning VGG16 network model with Adam optimizer was used, followed by k-fold cross validation. The dataset consisted of three axial slices, including the maximum tumor size from the CT volume data. The data were augmented 50 times by rotation, zoom, shear, and horizontal/vertical flip. Three independent networks for the CT dataset were considered, and the result was determined by voting. Three radiologists independently diagnosed thymomas with and without the model. The area under the curve (AUC) of the diagnostic performance was compared using receiver operating characteristic analysis.Results: Accuracy of the DL model was 71.3%. Diagnostic performance of the radiologists was as follows: AUC and accuracy without the DL model, 0.61-0.68 and 61.9%-69.3%; and with the DL model, 0.66-0.69 and 68.1%-70.0%, respectively. AUC of the diagnostic performance showed no significant differences between radiologists with and without the DL model. The DL model tended to increase the diagnostic accuracy, but AUC was not significantly improved.Conclusion: Diagnostic performance of the DL was comparable to that of radiologists. The DL model assistance tended to increase diagnostic accuracy.","PeriodicalId":72063,"journal":{"name":"Acta radiologica open","volume":"13 10","pages":"20584601241288509"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11457241/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142395657","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}

It usually develops by direct spread of CSOM through the bony erosion in the petrous bone or by thrombophlebitis of the sigmoid sinus. However, an alternative pathway of infection transmission from the petrous bone to the cerebellum through the anatomical bridge of the cranial nerves has possibly not been described before. A 63-year-old female patient with CSOM and cholesteatoma developed ataxia and right facial palsy. Computed tomography (CT) showed bone erosion of the right petrous bone suggesting middle ear infection. Post-contrast MRI revealed an enhancement of swollen 7th/8th nerve complex, suggesting neuritis, and cholesteatoma in the right petrous bone. It also showed ring enhancing lesion in the cerebellar peduncle of the same side suggesting brain abscess. Surgical intervention was performed emergently and pus aspirated. She also underwent mastoidectomy and removal of cholesteatoma later by the otolaryngology team and finally got better. This case illustrates that CSOM can cause cerebellar abscess by spreading infection via anatomical bridge of the cranial nerves without direct invasion from the temporal bone or thrombophlebitis of sinus.","PeriodicalId":72063,"journal":{"name":"Acta radiologica open","volume":"13 10","pages":"20584601241279337"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11526159/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142559598","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}

CT findings of RP were evaluated for parenchymal abnormalities and distribution, which were then classified into three patterns: localized pneumonia (LP), cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), and acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP). Clinical outcomes of RP were evaluated based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade.Results: Of the 153 patients, 135 developed RP. The most common pattern was LP (n = 78), followed by COP (n = 30) and AIP (n = 25). Among the three CT patterns, CTCAE grade and days between the start of RT and the onset of RP (RT-RP days) were statistically significantly different (p < 0.05). The patients with AIP patterns exhibited higher CTCAE grade, and fewer RT-RP days compared to those with non-AIP patterns (p < 0.05). In these patients, lung-to-lung metastasis and underlying interstitial lung abnormality were observed more frequently (p < 0.05). Underlying pulmonary fibrosis, the AIP pattern, and higher CT extent scores were more frequently observed in higher CTCAE grade group (p < 0.001). In multiple regression analysis, age, bilateral distribution, RT-RP days, and CT extent score ≥3 were independent predicting factors for higher CTCAE grade.Conclusions: RP in NSCLC patients can be classified into LP, COP, and AIP patterns and they exhibit different severities in clinical outcomes.","PeriodicalId":72063,"journal":{"name":"Acta radiologica open","volume":"13 10","pages":"20584601241288502"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11459547/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142395656","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}

Phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI) enables the acquisition of hemodynamic information from blood vessels. There is insufficient knowledge on which flow or velocity parameter best discriminates AVMs from healthy subjects.Purpose: To evaluate PC-MRI-measured flow and velocity in feeding arteries of AVMs before and, when possible, also after treatment and to compare these measurements to corresponding measurements in healthy controls.Materials and methods: Highest flow (HF), lowest flow (LF), mean flow (MF), peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), and mean velocity (MV) were measured in feeding arteries in patients with intracranial AVMs using 2D PC-MRI at 3 T. Measurements were compared to previously reported values in healthy individuals. Values in patients above the 95th percentile in the healthy cohort were categorized as pathological. Nidus volume was measured using 3D time-of-flight MR angiography.Results: Ten patients with diagnosed AVMs were examined with PC-MRI. Among these, three patients also underwent follow-up PC-MRI after treatment. Pathological velocities (PSV, EDV, and MV) were seen in all five subjects with a nidus larger or equal to 5.7 cm3, whereas pathological flow values were not seen in all, that is, pathologic HF in three, pathologic LF in two, and pathologic MF in two. After treatment, there was a decrease in flow and velocity (all measured parameters). After treatment, velocities (PSV, EDV, and MV) were no longer abnormal compared to healthy controls.Conclusion: Patients with a large AVM nidus show pathological velocities, but less consistent flow increases.
