PurposeThe purpose of this study was to compare efficacy and tolerance between radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and surgery for the treatment of oligometastatic lung disease.Materials and methodsThis retrospective study reviewed patients treated in two institutions for up to 5 pulmonary metastases with a maximal diameter of 4 cm and without associated pleural involvement or thoracic lymphadenopathy. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment outcome, and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Efficacy endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and pulmonary or local tumor progression rates.ResultsAmong 204 patients identified, 78 patients (42 men, 36 women; mean age, 53.3 ± 14.9 [SD]; age range: 15–81 years) were treated surgically, while 126 patients (59 men, 67 women; mean age, 62.2 ± 10.8 [SD]; age range: 33–80 years) were treated by RFA. In the RFA cohort, patients were significantly older (P < 0.0001), with more extra-thoracic localisation (P = 0.015) and bilateral tumour burden (P = 0.0014). In comparison between surgery and RFA cohorts, respectively, the 1- and 3-year OS were 94.8 and 67.2% vs. 94 and 72.1% (P = 0.46), the 1- and 3-year PFS were 49.4% and 26.1% vs. 38.9% and 14.8% (P = 0.12), the pulmonary progression rates were 39.1% and 56% vs. 41.2% and 65.3% (P > 0.99), and the local tumour progression rates were 5.4% and 10.6% vs. 4.8% and 18.6% (P = 0.07). Tumour size > 2 cm was associated with a significantly higher local tumor progression in the RFA group (P = 0.010). Hospitalisation stay was significantly shorter in the RFA group (median of 3 days; IQR = 2 days; range: 2–12 days) than in the surgery group (median of 9 days; IQR = 2 days; range: 6–21 days) (P < 0.01).ConclusionRFA should be considered a minimally-invasive alternative with similar OS and PFS to surgery in the treatment of solitary or multiple lung metastases measuring less than 4 cm in diameter without associated pleural involvement or thoracic lymphadenopathy. 相似文献

BackgroundSome authors used minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in the treatment of spinal cord tumor, but these studies had a small sample sizes and mixed extra- and intra-medullary tumors, resulting in confounding biases. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of MIS for spinal meningioma resection in comparison with open surgery (OS).MethodsConsecutive patients with spinal meningioma who received either MIS or OS were included. Data for extent of resection, functional outcome, postoperative morbidity and recurrence were collected.ResultsA total of 48 patients (with 51 spinal meningiomas) were included. Eighteen underwent MIS and 30 OS. Meningioma volume and location did not differ significantly between groups: tumors were predominantly thoracic (n = 39, 76.5%) and voluminous (occupying more than 50% of the spinal canal: n = 43, 84.3%). In the MIS group, patients were older (mean age: 66.5 vs. 56.4 years, P = 0.02) and more fragile (mean ASA score: 2.0 vs. 1.6, P = 0.06). In the MIS group, the surgical procedure was shorter (mean duration: 2.07 vs. 2.56 h, P = 0.04), blood loss lower (mean: 252 vs. 456 mL, P = 0.02), and hospital stay shorter (mean: 6.6 vs. 8.1 days). Surgery improved the modified McCormick scale (P < 0.0001) irrespective of the surgical technique. MIS led to no significant differences in extent of resection or postoperative morbidity. Mean follow-up was 46.6 months. At last follow-up, 91.7% (n = 44) of patients were free of progression; all cases of tumor progression (n = 4) occurred in the OS group.ConclusionsMIS outperformed OS in the management of intradural spinal meningioma, irrespective of location and volume. MIS appears to be particularly suitable for elderly and fragile patients. 相似文献

PurposeTo evaluate the capabilities of two-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based texture analysis features, tumor volume, tumor short axis and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in predicting histopathological high-grade and lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) in endometrial adenocarcinoma.Materials and methodsSeventy-three women (mean age: 66 ± 11.5 [SD] years; range: 45–88 years) with endometrial adenocarcinoma who underwent MRI of the pelvis at 1.5-T before hysterectomy were retrospectively included. Texture analysis was performed using TexRAD® software on T2-weighted images and ADC maps. Primary outcomes were high-grade and LVSI prediction using histopathological analysis as standard of reference. After data reduction using ascending hierarchical classification analysis, a predictive model was obtained by stepwise multivariate logistic regression and performances were assessed using cross-validated receiver operator curve (ROC).ResultsA total of 72 texture features per tumor were computed. Texture model yielded 52% sensitivity and 75% specificity for the diagnosis of high-grade tumor (areas under ROC curve [AUC] = 0.64) and 71% sensitivity and 59% specificity for the diagnosis of LVSI (AUC = 0.59). Volumes and tumor short axis were greater for high-grade tumors (P = 0.0002 and P = 0.004, respectively) and for patients with LVSI (P = 0.004 and P = 0.0279, respectively). No differences in ADC values were found between high-grade and low-grade tumors and for LVSI. A tumor short axis ≥ 20 mm yielded 95% sensitivity and 75% specificity for the diagnosis of high-grade tumor (AUC = 0.86).ConclusionMRI-based texture analysis is of limited value to predict high grade and LVSI of endometrial adenocarcinoma. A tumor short axis ≥ 20 mm is the best predictor of high grade and LVSI. 相似文献

PurposeThe purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the incidence of persistent patent artery after percutaneous cryoablation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the relationship between patent arteries one month after cryoablation and early tumor progression.Materials and methodsOne hundred and fifty-nine patients (112 men, 47 women; mean age, 63.6 ± 14.6 [SD] years; age range: 21–91 years) who underwent percutaneous cryoablation for 186 RCCs (mean diameter, 1.9 ± 0.6 [SD] cm; range: 0.7–4.0 cm) were retrospectively included. After cryoablation, patients underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) with ≤ 2-mm slice thickness within one week from cryoablation, and at one, three, and six months. The time course of patent artery in the ablated renal parenchyma after cryoablation was the primary endpoint. The relationships between patent arteries one month after cryoablation and treatment effectiveness, tumor vascularity, tumor enhancement one month after cryoablation, tumor subtype, and renal function changes were evaluated as secondary endpoints.ResultsCT showed patent arteries in the ablated renal parenchyma within one week in 166 RCCs (89.2%), at one month in 54 RCCs (29.0%), at three months in 8 RCCs (4.3%), and at six months in 2 RCCs (1.1%). The presence of patent artery one month after cryoablation was significantly associated with tumor enhancement at the same time point (P = 0.015). There was no association between patent arteries one month after cryoablation and treatment effectiveness (P = 0.693).ConclusionPatent arteries in the ablated renal parenchyma are commonly observed on CT examination after percutaneous cryoablation of RCC. However, they gradually disappear and do not require specific treatment. 相似文献

PurposeTo compare the assessment of diffuse interstitial myocardial fibrosis in valvular diseases using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) extracellular volume fraction (ECV) quantification and serum biomarkers of collagen turnover using results of myocardial biopsy as standard of reference.Materials and methodsThis prospective monocentric study included consecutive patients before aortic valvular replacement. All patients underwent: i), 1.5 T CMR with pre and post contrast T1 mapping sequence and ECV computation; ii), serum quantification of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) and iii), myocardial biopsies were collected during surgery to assess collagen volume fraction (CVF). Patients with coronary artery disease were excluded. Correlation between native T1, ECV, CVF and serum biomarkers were assessed using Pearson correlation test. Agreement between basal anteroseptal ECV with global ECV was assessed using Bland-Altman test.ResultsTwenty-one patients, 16 with aortic stenosis and 5 with aortic regurgitation were included. There were 12 men and 9 women with a mean age of 74.1 ± 6.8 (SD) years (range: 32–84 years). Mean global ECV value was 26.7 ± 2.7 (SD) % (range: 23.4–32.5%) and mean CVF value was 12.4 ± 9.7% (range: 3.2–25.7%). ECV assessed at the basal anteroseptal segment correlated moderately with CVF (r = 0.6; P = 0.0026). There was a strong correlation and agreement between basal anteroseptal ECV and global ECV, (r = 0.8; P < 0.0001; bias 5.4 ± 6.1%) but no correlation between global ECV and CVF (r = 0.5; P = 0.10). Global ECV poorly correlated with serum TIMP-1 (r = 0.4; P = 0.037) and MMP-2 (r = 0.4; P = 0.047). No correlation was found between serum biomarkers and basal anteroseptal- ECV or native T1.ConclusionIn patients with severe aortic valvulopathy, diffuse myocardial fibrosis assessed by anterosepto-basal ECV correlates with histological myocardial fibrosis. Anteroseptobasal ECV strongly correlates with global ECV, which poorly correlates with TIMP-1 and MMP-2, serum biomarkers involved in the progression of heart failure. 相似文献

PurposeTo compare conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the differentiation of bone plasmacytoma from bone metastasis in the extremities.Materials and methodsA total of 65 patients with 27 bone plasmacytomas (11 men; mean age, 63.6 ± 8.2 [SD] years) and 38 patients with bone metastases (20 men; mean age, 64.1 ± 11.5 [SD] years) were retrospectively included. Plasmacytomas and metastases were compared for size, peritumoral edema, signal intensity (SI), SI pattern, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and standard deviation (SD) of ADC. Receiver operating characteristic analysis with area under the curve (AUC) was used to calculate sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MRI and DWI for the diagnosis of plasmacytoma according to a defined cut-off value.ResultsOn conventional MRI, plasmacytomas showed less peritumoral edema (22% vs. 71%; P < 0.001), were more often hyperintense on T1-weighted image (48% vs. 18%; P = 0.022) and more homogeneous on T2-weighted image (78% vs. 26%; P < 0.001) and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images (70% vs. 25%; P = 0.001) than bone metastases. Mean ADC value and SD of ADC were significantly lower in bone plasmacytomas (760.1 ± 196.9 [SD] μm2/s and 161.5 ± 62.7 [SD], respectively) than in bone metastases (1214.2 ± 382.6 [SD] μm2/s and 277.0 ± 110.3 [SD], respectively) (P < 0.001). Using an ADC value ≤ 908.3 μm2/s, DWI yielded 88% sensitivity and 78% specificity for the diagnosis of plasmacytoma. ADC value yielded best area under the curve (AUC = 0.913), followed by SD of ADC (AUC = 0.814) and homogeneity on T2-weighted images (AUC = 0.757). The combination of conventional MRI and DWI (AUC = 0.894) showed improved diagnostic performance over conventional MRI alone (AUC= 0.843) for discriminating between plasmacytoma and metastasis.ConclusionConventional MRI in combination with DWI can be useful to discriminate between bone plasmacytoma and bone metastasis in the extremities. 相似文献

PurposeTo compare morphological imaging features and CT texture histogram parameters between grade 3 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (G3-NET) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC).Materials and methodsPatients with pathologically proven G3-NET and NEC, according to the 2017 World Health Organization classification who had CT and MRI examinations between 2006-2017 were retrospectively included. CT and MRI examinations were reviewed by two radiologists in consensus and analyzed with respect to tumor size, enhancement patterns, hemorrhagic content, liver metastases and lymphadenopathies. Texture histogram analysis of tumors was performed on arterial and portal phase CT images. images. Morphological imaging features and CT texture histogram parameters of G3-NETs and NECs were compared.ResultsThirty-seven patients (21 men, 16 women; mean age, 56 ± 13 [SD] years [range: 28-82 years]) with 37 tumors (mean diameter, 60 ± 46 [SD] mm) were included (CT available for all, MRI for 16/37, 43%). Twenty-three patients (23/37; 62%) had NEC and 14 patients (14/37; 38%) had G3-NET. NECs were larger than G3-NETs (mean, 70 ± 51 [SD] mm [range: 18 - 196 mm] vs. 42 ± 24 [SD] mm [range: 8 - 94 mm], respectively; P = 0.039), with more tumor necrosis (75% vs. 33%, respectively; P = 0.030) and lower attenuation on precontrast (30 ± 4 [SD] HU [range: 25-39 HU] vs. 37 ± 6 [SD] [range: 25-45 HU], respectively; P = 0.002) and on portal venous phase CT images (75 ± 18 [SD] HU [range: 43 - 108 HU] vs. 92 ± 19 [SD] HU [range: 46 - 117 HU], respectively; P = 0.014). Hemorrhagic content on MRI was only observed in NEC (P = 0.007). The mean ADC value was lower in NEC ([1.1 ± 0.1 (SD)] × 10−3 mm2/s [range: (0.91 - 1.3) × 10−3 mm2/s] vs. [1.4 ± 0.2 (SD)] × 10−3 mm2/s [range: (1.1 - 1.6) × 10−3 mm2/s]; P = 0.005). CT histogram analysis showed that NEC were more heterogeneous on portal venous phase images (Entropy-0: 4.7 ± 0.2 [SD] [range: 4.2-5.1] vs. 4.5 ± 0.4 [SD] [range: 3.7-4.9]; P = 0.023).ConclusionPancreatic NECs are larger, more frequently hypoattenuating and more heterogeneous with hemorrhagic content than G3-NET on CT and MRI. 相似文献

PurposeTo evaluate the influence of intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) on clinical outcomes after prostatic artery embolization (PAE) in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.Materials and methodsAll consecutive patients who underwent PAE for lower urinary tract symptoms between January 2017 and January 2019 were retrospectively included. IPP was evaluated on pre-treatment magnetic resonance imaging examination and symptoms were assessed at follow-up consultations using the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and quality of life (QOL) questionnaire. IPPs were classified as grade 1 (< 5 mm), grade 2 (5–10 mm), or grade 3 (> 10 mm).ResultsA total of 160 consecutive men (mean age 65 ± 7.8 [SD] years; range: 45–89 years), underwent PAE. The mean IPSS was 21 ± 7.3 (SD) (range: 5–35) and prostate volume 87 ± 38 (SD) mL (range: 30–200 mL). The IPP grade was 1 for 28 (28/160; 18%), 2 for 52 (52/160; 33%), and 3 for 80 (80/160; 50%) patients. There were no significant differences in IPSS at baseline between the three IPP grades. Patients with severe (grade 3) IPP had a significantly higher reduction in IPSS than those with non-severe IPP (grade 1 or 2), with estimated mean reductions of 12 ± 2.5 (SD) (range: ?4–28) and 8.3 ± 1.9 (SD) (range: ?8–21) (P = 0.02), respectively. The mean reduction in the QOL score was 3.0 for grade 3 and 2.0 for grade 1 or 2 IPP (P = 0.02).ConclusionsThe degree of IPP does not limit the efficacy of PAE in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. 相似文献

PurposeTo assess myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) measurement provided by a single-source dual-energy computed tomography (SSDE-CT) acquisition added at the end of a routine CT examination before transcatether aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared to cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Materials and methodsTwenty-one patients (10 men, 11 women; mean age, 86 ± 4.9 years [SD]; age range: 71–92 years) with severe aortic stenosis underwent standard pre-TAVI CT with additional cardiac SSDE-CT acquisition 7 minutes after intravenous administration of iodinated contrast material and myocardial MRI including pre- and post-contrast T1-maps. Myocardial ECV and standard deviation (σECV) were calculated in the 16-segments model. ECV provided by SSDE-CT was compared to ECV provided by MRI, which served as the reference. Analyses were performed on a per-segment basis and on a per-patient involving the mean value of the 16-segments.ResultsECV was slightly overestimated by SSDE-CT (29.9 ± 4.6 [SD] %; range: 20.9%–48.3%) compared to MRI (29.1 ± 3.9 [SD] %; range: 22.0%–50.7%) (P < 0.0001) with a bias and limits of agreement of +2.3% (95%CI: −16.1%– + 20.6%) and +2.5% (95%CI: −2.1%– + 7.1%) for per-segment and per-patient-analyses, respectively. Good (r = 0.81 for per-segment-analysis) to excellent (r = 0.97 for per-patient-analysis) linear relationships (both P < 0.0001) were obtained. The σECV was significantly higher at SSDE-CT (P < 0.0001). Additional radiation dose from CT was 1.89 ± 0.38 (SD) mSv (range: 1.48–2.47 mSv).ConclusionA single additional SSDE-CT acquisition added at the end of a standard pre-TAVI CT protocol can provide ECV measurement with good to excellent linear relationship with MRI. 相似文献

PurposeTo evaluate the potential of imaging criteria in predicting overall survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after a first transcatheter arterial yttrium-90 radioembolization (TARE)Materials and methodsFrom October 2013 to July 2017, 37 patients with HCC were retrospectively included. There were 34 men and 3 women with a mean age of 60.5 ± 10.2 (SD) years (range: 32.7–78.9 years). Twenty-five patients (68%) were Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) C and 12 (32%) were BCLC B. Twenty-four primary index tumors (65%) were > 5 cm. Three radiologists evaluated tumor response on pre- and 4–7 months post-TARE magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography examinations, using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1, modified RECIST (mRECIST), European Association for Study of the Liver (EASL), volumetric RECIST (vRECIST), quantitative EASL (qEASL) and the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System treatment response algorithm. Kaplan–Meier survival curves were used to compare responders and non-responders for each criterion. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard ratio (HR) analysis were used to identify covariates associated with overall survival. Fleiss kappa test was used to assess interobserver agreement.ResultsAt multivariate analysis, RECIST 1.1 (HR: 0.26; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.09–0.75; P = 0.01), mRECIST (HR: 0.22; 95% CI: 0.08–0.59; P = 0.003), EASL (HR: 0.22; 95% CI: 0.07–0.63; P = 0.005), and qEASL (HR: 0.30; 95% CI: 0.12–0.80; P = 0.02) showed a significant difference in overall survival between responders and nonresponders. RECIST 1.1 had the highest interobserver reproducibility.ConclusionRECIST and mRECIST seem to be the best compromise between reproducibility and ability to predict overall survival in patients with HCC treated with TARE. 相似文献

AimThe aim of this study was to examine the effect of a water-friendly Projector-Based Hybrid Virtual Reality (VR) dome environment combined with standard pharmacological treatment on pain in young children undergoing burn wound care in hydrotherapy.MethodsThis study was a prospective, within-subject crossover trial of 38 children aged 6 months to 7 years old (mean age = 1.8 years old). Each hydrotherapy procedure was divided into two equivalent wound care segments (No hybrid VR during one segment vs. Hybrid VR during the other segment, treatment order was randomized). Pain was measured using the 0–10 FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry Consolability scale) and the 0–10 NRS-obs (Numerical Rating Scale-obs).ResultsProjector-Based Hybrid VR significantly reduced procedural pain levels measured by the FLACC (p = 0.026) and significantly increased patients' comfort levels (p = 0.002). Patients' pain levels rated by the nurses using the NRS-obs were non-significant between both groups (p = 0.135). No side effects were reported.ConclusionProjector-Based Hybrid VR helped in reducing the pain related to hydrotherapy procedures in young children with burn wound injuries. This is the first study using virtual reality distraction with young children, and our findings are especially important because a large percentage of pediatric burn patients are very young. Additional research and development are recommended.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02986464, registered on June 12, 2016. 相似文献

PurposeTo determine inter-reader agreement in categorizing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with locoregional therapy using the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) treatment response (LR-TR) algorithm.Materials and methodsA total of 93 patients with a total of 112 HCC nodules that were treated using thermal ablation or transarterial chemoembolization were prospectively included. There were 79 men and 14 women with a mean age of 55 ± 2.6 (SD) years (range: 48–63 years). All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the liver and MR images were analyzed by two independent observers. Treated HCC nodules were categorized into four groups according to LR-TR scoring system including: (i) LR-TR non-evaluable (treated, response not evaluable); (ii) LR-TR nonviable (treated, probably or definitively not viable); (iii) LR-TR equivocal (treated, equivocally viable) and (iv) LR-TR viable (treated, probably or definitively viable). The inter-observer agreement in LR-TR categorization was assessed using the kappa statistics.ResultsThere was excellent inter-observer agreement between the two reviewers for overall treated HCC according to LR-TR algorithm (kappa = 0.938; 95% CI: 0.89–1.00; P = 0.001) with 97.31% agreement. The LR-TR categories by both reviewers were non-viable (77/112; 69.6% and 76/112; 67.9%), viable (30/112; 26.8% and 32/112; 27.7%) and equivocal (5/112; 4.4% and 4/112; 3.6%). There was excellent inter-observer agreement for LR-TR nonviable (kappa = 0.938; 95% CI: 0.87–1.0; P = 0.001) with 97.3% agreement, LR-TR viable (kappa = 0.955; 95% CI: 0.89–1.00; P = 0.001) with 98.2% agreement and good inter-observer agreement for LR-TR equivocal (kappa = 0.700; 95% CI: 0.28–1.0; P = 0.001) with 97.3% agreement.ConclusionLR-TR algorithm conveys high degrees of inter-observer agreement for the evaluation of treatment response of HCC after thermal ablation and transarterial chemoembolization. 相似文献

PurposeTo evaluate the potential differences in non-target embolization and vessel microsphere filling of a reflux-control microcatheter (RCM) compared to a standard end-hole microcatheter (SEHM) in a swine model.Materials and methodsRadiopaque microspheres were injected with both RCM and SEHM (2.4-Fr and 2.7-Fr) in the kidneys of a preclinical swine model. Transarterial renal embolization procedures with RCM or SEHM were performed in both kidneys of 14 pigs. Renal arteries were selectively embolized with an automated injection protocol of radio-opaque microspheres. Ex-vivo X-ray microtomography images of the kidneys were utilized to evaluate the embolization by quantification of the deposition of injected microspheres in the target vs. the non-target area of injection. X-ray microtomography images were blindly analyzed by five interventional radiologists. The degree of vessel filling and the non-target embolization were quantified using a scale from 1 to 5 for each parameter. An analysis of variance was used to compare the paired scores.ResultsTotal volumes of radio-opaque microspheres injected were similar for RCM (11.5 ± 3.6 [SD] mL; range: 6–17 mL) and SEHM (10.6 ± 5.2 [SD] mL; range: 4–19 mL) (P = 0.38). The voxels enhanced ratio in the target (T) vs. non-target (NT) areas was greater with RCM (T = 98.3% vs. NT = 1.7%) than with SEHM (T = 89% vs. NT = 11%) but the difference was not significant (P = 0.30). The total score blindly given by the five interventional radiologists was significantly different between RCM (12.3 ± 2.1 [SD]; range: 6–15) and the standard catheter (11.3 ± 2.5 [SD]; range: 4–15) (P = 0.0073), with a significant decrease of non-target embolization for RCM (3.8 ± 1.3 [SD]; range: 3.5–4.2) compared to SEHM (3.2 ± 1.5 [SD]; range: 2.9–3.5) (P = 0.014).ConclusionIn an animal model, RCM microcatheters reduce the risk of non-target embolization from 11% to 1.7%, increasing the delivery of microspheres of 98% to the target vessels, compared to SEHM microcatheters. 相似文献

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to compare morphologic assessment and relaxometry of patellar hyaline cartilage between conventional sequences (fast spin-echo [FSE] T2-weighted fat-saturated and T2-mapping) and synthetic T2 short-TI inversion recovery (STIR) and T2 maps at 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).MethodThe MRI examinations of the knee obtained at 1.5 T in 49 consecutive patients were retrospectively studied. There were 21 men and 28 women with a mean age of 45 ± 17.7 (SD) years (range: 18–88 years). Conventional and synthetic acquisitions were performed, including T2-weighted fat-saturated and T2-mapping sequences. Two radiologists independently compared patellar cartilage T2-relaxation time on conventional T2-mapping and synthetic T2-mapping images. A third radiologist evaluated the patellar cartilage morphology on conventional and synthetic T2-weighted images. The presence of artifacts was also assessed. Interobserver agreement for quantitative variables was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).ResultsIn vitro, conventional and synthetic T2 maps yielded similar mean T2 values 58.5 ± 2.3 (SD) ms and 58.8 ± 2.6 (SD) ms, respectively (P = 0.414) and 6% lower than the expected experimental values (P = 0.038). Synthetic images allowed for a 15% reduction in examination time compared to conventional images. On conventional sequences, patellar chondropathy was identified in 35 patients (35/49; 71%) with a mean chondropathy grade of 4.8 ± 4.8 (SD). On synthetic images, 28 patients (28/49; 57%) were diagnosed with patellar chondropathy, with a significant 14% difference (P = 0.009) and lower chondropathy scores (3.7 ± 4.9 [SD]) compared to conventional images. Motion artifacts were more frequently observed on synthetic images (18%) than on conventional ones (6%). The interobserver agreement was excellent for both conventional and synthetic T2 maps (ICC > 0.83). Mean cartilage T2 values were significantly greater on synthetic images (36.2 ± 3.8 [SD] ms; range: 29-46 ms) relative to conventional T2 maps (31.8 ± 4.1 [SD] ms; range: 26-49 ms) (P < 0.0001).ConclusionDespite a decrease in examination duration, synthetic images convey lower diagnostic performance for chondropathy, greater prevalence of motion artifacts, and an overestimation of T2 values compared to conventional MRI sequences. 相似文献

PurposeTo report the computed tomography (CT) features of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) and identify CT features that may help discriminate between pancreatic ACC and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA).Materials and methodsThe CT examinations of 20 patients (13 men, 7 women; mean age, 66.5 ± 10.7 [SD] years; range: 51–88 years) with 20 histopathologically proven pancreatic ACC were reviewed. CT images were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively and compared to those obtained in 20 patients with PDA. Comparisons were performed using univariate analysis with a conditional logistic regression model.ResultsPancreatic ACC presented as an enhancing (20/20; 100%), oval (15/20; 75%), well-delineated (14/20; 70%) and purely solid (13/20; 65%) pancreatic mass with a mean diameter of 52.6 ± 28.0 (SD) mm (range: 24–120 mm) in association with visible lymph nodes (14/20; 70%). At univariate analysis, well-defined margins (Odds ratio [OR], 7.00; P = 0.005), nondilated bile ducts (OR, 9.00; P = 0.007), visible lymph nodes (OR, 4.33; P = 0.028) and adjacent organ involvement (OR, 5.67; P = 0.02) were the most discriminating CT features to differentiate pancreatic ACC from PDA. When present, lymph nodes were larger in patients with pancreatic ACC (14 ± 4.8 [SD]; range: 7–25 mm) than in those with PDA (8.8 ± 4.1 [SD]; range: 5–15 mm) (P = 0.039).ConclusionOn CT, pancreatic ACC presents as an enhancing, predominantly oval and purely solid pancreatic mass that most frequently present with no bile duct dilatation, no visible lymph nodes, no adjacent organ involvement and larger visible lymph nodes compared to PDA. 相似文献

PurposeTo retrospectively report on safety, pain relief and local tumor control achieved with percutaneous ablation of sacral bone metastases.Materials and methodsFrom February 2009 to June 2020, 23 consecutive patients (12 women and 11 men; mean age, 60 ± 8 [SD] years; median, 60; range: 48-80 years) with 23 sacral metastases underwent radiofrequency (RFA) or cryo-ablation (CA), with palliative or curative intent at our institution. Patients’ demographics and data pertaining to treated metastases, procedure-related variables, safety, and clinical evolution following ablation were collected and analyzed. Pain was assessed with numerical pain rating scale (NPRS).ResultsSixteen (70%) patients were treated with palliative and 7 (30%) with curative intent. Mean tumor diameter was 38 ± 19 (SD) mm (median, 36; range: 11-76). External radiation therapy had been performed on five metastases (5/23; 22%) prior to ablation. RFA was used in 9 (39%) metastases and CA in the remaining 14 (61%). Thermo-protective measures and adjuvant bone consolidation were used whilst treating 20 (87%) and 8 (35%) metastases, respectively. Five (22%) minor complications were recorded. At mean 31 ± 21 (SD) (median, 32; range: 2-70) months follow-up mean NPRS was 2 ± 2 (SD) (median, 1; range: 0–6) vs. 5 ± 1 (median, 5; range: 4–8; P < 0.001) at the baseline. Three metastases out of 7 (43%) undergoing curative ablation showed local progression at mean 4 ± 4 (SD) (median, 2; range: 1-8) months follow-up.ConclusionPercutaneous ablation of sacral metastases is safe and results in significant long-lasting pain relief. Local tumor control seems sub-optimal; however, further investigations are needed to confirm these findings due to paucity of data. 相似文献

PurposeTo compare the measurements of fat fraction (FF) and in-phase vs. opposed-phase ratio between two-dimensional T2-weighted (T2W) spin-echo (SE) Dixon and three-dimensional (3D) T1-weighted (T1W) volume interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) Dixon sequences in malignant vertebral lesions and normal vertebral bone marrow.Materials and methodsThirty patients with focal vertebral malignancies (20 men, mean age, 67.3 ± 9.4 [SD] years; age range: 41–84 years) and 30 patients without malignant spinal disease (11 men, mean age, 70.1 ± 12.9 [SD]; age range: 53–93 years) were retrospectively included. Each patient underwent spine MRI at 1.5 Tesla including T2W SE and T1W VIBE 2-point Dixon sequences. Two readers independently performed 3D-volume of interest (VOI) and region of interest (ROI)-based FF and IO-ratio measurements of malignant lesions and normal vertebrae. Student t-test, Pearson correlation (r) test and two-way mixed model intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used to compare measurements.ResultsT2W SE and T1W VIBE mean FF and IO-ratio were significantly smaller in malignancy compared to normal marrow, but there were significant differences of paired measurement mean values between T2W SE and T1W VIBE Dixon parameters in malignant lesions T2W SE VOI FF = 9%, T2W SE ROI FF = 7%, T2W SE IO-ratio = 4% vs. T1W VIBE VOI FF = 11%, T1W VIBE ROI FF = 9%, T1W VIBE IO-ratio = ?2%, and in normal vertebrae T2W SE VOI FF = 74%, T2W SE ROI FF = 77%, T2W SE IO-ratio = 51% vs. T1W VIBE VOI FF = 67%, T1W VIBE ROI FF = 73%, T1W VIBE IO-ratio = 58% (each P comparing the paired T2W TSE and T1W VIBE parameter, respectively < 0.001). There was excellent positive correlation between T2 W SE and T1 W VIBE-FF (r ≥ 0.99) and VOI and ROI FF measurements for each sequence (r ≥ 0.99). Inter-reader agreement was excellent for all measurements (ICC ≥ 0.94 for all).ConclusionCalculation of T2W SE Dixon derived FF is feasible and gave valid results that help discriminate between malignant vertebral lesions and normal vertebral bone marrow. 相似文献

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of percutaneous ablation (PA) of obscure hypovascular liver tumors in challenging locations using arterial CT-portography (ACP) guidance.Materials and methodsA total of 26 patients with a total of 28 obscure, hypovascular malignant liver tumors were included. There were 18 men and 6 women with a mean age of 58 ± 14 (SD) years (range: 37–75 years). The tumors had a mean diameter of 14 ± 10 (SD) mm (range: 7–24 mm) and were intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (4/28; 14%), liver metastases from colon cancer (18/28; 64%), corticosurrenaloma (3/28; 11%) or liver metastases from breast cancer (3/28; 11%). All tumors were in challenging locations including subcapsular (14/28; 50%), liver dome (9/28; 32%) or perihilar (5/28; 18%) locations. A total of 28 PA (12 radiofrequency ablations, 11 microwave ablations and 5 irreversible electroporations) procedures were performed under ACP guidance.ResultsA total of 67 needles [mean: 2.5 ± 1.5 (SD); range: 1–5] were inserted under ACP guidance, with a 100% technical success rate for PA. Median total effective dose was 26.5 mSv (IQR: 19.1, 32.2 mSv). Two complications were encountered (pneumothorax; one abscess both with full recovery), yielding a complication rate of 7%. No significant change in mean creatinine clearance was observed (80.5 mL/min at baseline and 85.3 mL/min at day 7; P = 0.8). Post-treatment evaluation of the ablation zone was overestimated on ACP compared with conventional CT examination in 3/28 tumors (11%). After a median follow-up of 20 months (range: 12–35 months), local tumor progression was observed in 2/28 tumours (7%).ConclusionACP guidance is feasible and allows safe and effective PA of obscure hypo-attenuating liver tumors in challenging locations without damaging the renal function and with acceptable radiation exposure. Post-treatment assessment should be performed using conventional CT or MRI to avoid size overestimation of the ablation zone. 相似文献

PurposeTo determine the MRI-based threshold of lateral meniscal body extrusion (LMBE) that are associated with meniscal damage, cartilage damage and radiological knee osteoarthritis (OA).Materials and methodsA total of 142 patients (59 men and 83 women) with a mean age of 57.2 ± 7.9 (SD) years (range: 41–77 years) with symptomatic knee OA were included. Radiological assessment was performed using the Kellgren-Lawrence scoring system. Meniscus and cartilage damage were assessed using the whole-organ magnetic resonance imaging score. Meniscal extrusion was quantified on coronal sections of intermediate-weighted MRI sequences. Differences between medial and lateral compartments in meniscal extrusion and incidence of tibiofemoral OA-related structural changes were assessed using Wilcoxon signed rank test and Bowker test. Receiver operating characteristic curves and Youden index were used for determining thresholds for meniscal extrusion.ResultsA total of 142 knees were assessed. Meniscal body extrusion distances between medial and lateral compartments were significantly different in the entire sample, and in subjects with and without radiological knee OA (P < 0.05 for all). The incidence of structural changes between medial and lateral compartments were significantly different (P = 0.003 for meniscal damage; P = 0.001 for femoral cartilage damage). Three mm and 2 mm were determined to be the optimal thresholds for medial and lateral meniscal body extrusion, respectively.ConclusionMedial and lateral meniscal body extrusion were associated with the incidence of OA-related knee structural changes in symptomatic patients with knee OA. A threshold of 2 mm for LMBE with respect to meniscal damage, cartilage damage and radiological knee OA was determined. 相似文献

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to assess the predictors of metastasis-free survival (MFS) and of the volume of the local recurrence in patients with rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) serum level after radiotherapy for prostate cancer and referred for prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and biopsy in view of salvage treatment.Materials and methodsA total of 132 consecutive men (median age, 70 years; IQR, 66–77 years) with rising PSA after prostate radiotherapy who underwent prostate MRI and biopsy in view of salvage treatment between January 2010 and July 2017 were retrospectively evaluated at a single center. MFS predictors were assessed with Cox models. Predictors of the volume of the local recurrence (number of invaded prostate sectors at biopsy) were assessed using Poisson regression among variables available at PSA relapse.ResultsAt multivariate analysis, an initial Gleason score ≥ 8 (OR = 7 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2–40]; P = 0.03), a recent radiotherapy (OR = 17 [95% CI: 3.9–72]; P < 0.0001), the use of androgen deprivation therapy at PSA relapse (OR = 12.5 [95% CI: 2.8–57]; P = 0.001) and the number of invaded prostate sectors (OR = 1.5 [95% CI: 1.1–2]; P = 0.007) and maximum cancer core length (OR = 0.7 [95%CI: 0.6–0.9]; P = 0.002) at biopsy performed at PSA relapse were significant MFS predictors. The PSA level at relapse was significant independent predictor of the volume of local recurrence only when used as a continuous variable (P = 0.0002) but not when dichotomized using the nadir + 2 threshold (P = 0.41).ConclusionPathological and clinical factors can help predict MFS in patients with rising PSA after prostate radiotherapy and candidates to salvage treatment. The PSA level at relapse has strong influence on the local recurrence volume when used as a continuous variable. 相似文献
