Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of DCE Utility for PCa Diagnosis Using PI-RADS v2.1: Effects on Diagnostic Accuracy and Reproducibility.
Valentina Brancato,Giuseppe Di Costanzo,Luca Basso,Liberatore Tramontano,Marta Puglia,Alfonso Ragozzino,Carlo Cavaliere +6 more
TL;DR: The reproducibility and diagnostic accuracy of PI-RADS v2.1 scoring was comparable and high among readers, without relevant differences, depending on the MRI protocol used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of a multiparametric MRI radiomic-based approach for stratification of equivocal PI-RADS 3 and upgraded PI-RADS 4 prostatic lesions.
Valentina Brancato,Marco Aiello,Luca Basso,Serena Monti,Luigi Palumbo,Giuseppe Di Costanzo,Marco Salvatore,Alfonso Ragozzino,Carlo Cavaliere +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Radiomic features were extracted from T2-weighted MRI (T2), Apparent diffusion Coefficient (ADC) map and DCE-MRI subtracted images using PyRadiomics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiparametric MRI for Prostate Cancer Detection: New Insights into the Combined Use of a Radiomic Approach with Advanced Acquisition Protocol
Serena Monti,Valentina Brancato,Giuseppe Di Costanzo,Luca Basso,Marta Puglia,Alfonso Ragozzino,Marco Salvatore,Carlo Cavaliere +7 more
TL;DR: Comparing a standard radiomic model for PCa detection, built using T2-weighted and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient, with an advanced one, including DKI and quantitative Dynamic Contrast Enhanced, provides new insights into active topics of discussion, such as choosing the most convenient acquisition protocol and the most appropriate postprocessing pipeline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-Gaussian models of diffusion weighted imaging for detection and characterization of prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: It is shown that Non-Gaussian model parameters may potentially play a role in the detection and characterization of PCa but further studies are required to identify a standardized DWI acquisition protocol for PCa diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of RNA and DNA Aptamers in Glioblastoma Diagnosis and Therapy: A Systematic Review of the Literature.
Silvia Nuzzo,Valentina Brancato,Alessandra Affinito,Marco Salvatore,Carlo Cavaliere,Gerolama Condorelli +5 more
TL;DR: A systematic review aimed at summarizing current knowledge on the new promising DNA and RNA aptamer-based molecules for GBM diagnosis and treatment showed that a number of DNA andRNA aptamers are promising diagnostic and therapeutic tools for G BM management.
