Development of a temperature-controlled phantom for magnetic resonance quality assurance of diffusion, dynamic, and relaxometry measurements.
(WILEY, 2016-06-01)
PURPOSE: Diffusion-weighted (DW) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are increasingly applied for the assessment of functional tissue biomarkers for diagnosis, lesion characterization, or for ...
Mechanism and non-mechanism based imaging biomarkers for assessing biological response to treatment in non-small cell lung cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2016-05-01)
Therapeutic options in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have expanded in the past decade to include a palate of targeted interventions such as high dose targeted thermal ablations, radiotherapy and growing ...
Determining the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) behavior of citrate and spermine under in vivo conditions.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016-09-01)
PURPOSE: To estimate the exchange rates of labile (1) H in citrate and spermine, metabolites present in prostatic secretions, to predict the size of the citrate and spermine CEST effects in vivo. METHODS: CEST z-spectra ...
Distortion correction of echo-planar diffusion-weighted images of uterine cervix.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016-05-01)
PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical utility of the reverse gradient algorithm in correcting distortions in diffusion-weighted images of the cervix and for increasing diagnostic performance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-one ...
DCE-MRI, DW-MRI, and MRS in Cancer: Challenges and Advantages of Implementing Qualitative and Quantitative Multi-parametric Imaging in the Clinic.
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2016-10-01)
Multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) offers a unique insight into tumor biology by combining functional MRI techniques that inform on cellularity (diffusion-weighted MRI), vascular properties (dynamic ...
Initial experience of the BREAST-Q breast-conserving therapy module.
(SPRINGER, 2016-11-01)
PURPOSE: The most recently developed module of the BREAST-Q, a validated patient outcome measure, is for patients who have undergone breast-conserving therapy (BCT) for cancer. This aim of this study was to assess patient ...
Comparison of optimised endovaginal vs external array coil T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging techniques for detecting suspected early stage (IA/IB1) uterine cervical cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2016-04-01)
OBJECTIVE: To compare sensitivity and specificity of endovaginal versus external-array coil T2-W and T2-W + DWI for detecting and staging small cervical tumours. METHODS: Optimised endovaginal and external array coil MRI ...
Validating a robust double-quantum-filtered (1) H MRS lactate measurement method in high-grade brain tumours.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016-10-01)
(1) H MRS measurements of lactate are often confounded by overlapping lipid signals. Double-quantum (DQ) filtering eliminates lipid signals and permits single-shot measurements, which avoid subtraction artefacts in moving ...
The PROFILE Feasibility Study: Targeted Screening of Men With a Family History of Prostate Cancer.
(WILEY, 2016-06-01)
BACKGROUND: A better assessment of individualized prostate cancer (PrCa) risk is needed to improve screening. The use of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level for screening in the general population has limitations and ...
