Gaiane M. Rauch,Harmeet Kaur,Haesun Choi,Randy D. Ernst,Ann H. Klopp,Piyaporn Boonsirikamchai,Shannon N. Westin,Leonardo P. Marcal +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multiparametric T2-weighted imaging to evaluate the female pelvis, an approach that combines anatomic T2 weighting with functional imaging (i.e., dynamic contrast materialenhanced and diffusion weighted imaging).
Journal ArticleDOI
Mullerian duct anomalies: MR imaging.
TL;DR: The value of MRI in the diagnosis of MDA is shown and the key imaging features of anomalies of formation and fusion are reviewed, emphasizing the relevance of accurate diagnosis before therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: State of the art
TL;DR: Positron emission tomography with CT provides whole body staging as well as the unique imaging characteristic of metabolic activity to aid disease management, and modalities in the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of free-form radiology dictations for completeness and clarity for pancreatic cancer staging
Leonardo P. Marcal,Patricia S. Fox,Douglas B. Evans,Jason B. Fleming,Gauri R. Varadhachary,Matthew H.G. Katz,Eric P. Tamm +6 more
TL;DR: Free-form reports were more likely to use ambiguous terminology and/or require review of the actual images for understanding resectability status and the use of a standardized reporting template may improve the usefulness of pancreatic cancer staging reports.
