TL;DR: It is suggested that brain structural changes were present in IA adolescents, and this finding may provide a new insight into the pathogenesis of IA.

TL;DR: The findings provided additional support for the involvement of limbic-cortical circuits in the pathophysiology of MDD and preliminary evidence that a defect involving the cerebellum may also be implicated.

TL;DR: MW ablation may have higher potential for complete destruction of liver tumors than RF ablation and is also likely to produce more elliptical-shaped ablation zone.

TL;DR: In this paper, the enhancement effects of liver parenchyma between normal and cirrhotic livers on contrast-enhanced MR imaging (CE-MRI) obtained with Gd-EOB-DTPA was assessed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a case series about the use of medical CT/MRI scanning, three-dimensional reconstruction, anatomical modeling, computer-aided design, reverse engineering (RE) and rapid prototyping (RP) methods was presented.

TL;DR: Multiple, irregular-shaped cysts of various sizes with lower medial lung zone predominance are characteristic CT findings of BHD syndrome.

TL;DR: In the study setting, elastography does not have the potential to replace conventional B-mode US for the detection of breast cancer, but may complement conventional US to improve the diagnostic performance.

TL;DR: This technique is reliable and safe and should be considered nowadays the gold standard for biopsies of the musculoskeletal system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the shear wave velocity of normal breast tissue and breast lesion using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) technology in 50 patients, using a linear array transducer with a bandwidth of 4-9 MHz and Virtual Touch tissue quantification (Siemens Medical Solutions, Mountain View, CA, USA).

TL;DR: MRI+MRSI holds great potential for predicting presence or absence of high grade tumors in men with elevated PSA, which can be important in the selection of patients for active surveillance, or in the decision to rebiopsy patients with prior negative biopsies.

TL;DR: Diffusion imaging could be considered an important supportive tool for the diagnosis of enlarged cervical lymphadenopathies in patients with benign and malignant nodes.

TL;DR: Whether the histological grade of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can be predicted using the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is investigated to contribute to radiological diagnosis of poorly differentiated components in HCCs.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the addition of dynamic digital subtraction mammography to conventional mammography can significantly improve diagnostic quality and is particularly pronounced in the case of dense breast tissue.

TL;DR: Clinical outline of percutaneous thermal ablation of lung neoplasms using radiofrequency, microwave and laser techniques regarding their principles, theoretical background, devices and techniques, technical problems and recent protocols is provided.

TL;DR: The 45° Dunn view can improve the first line of impingement diagnostics and Radial MRI however remains indispensable for pre-operative planning and the evaluation of symptomatic cases without obvious deformity.

TL;DR: In patients with PD, there was disruption in the cerebellar white matter which may play an important role in the olfactory dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: An understanding of SBRT technique as it relates to the development of S BRT-induced lung injury and familiarity with the full spectrum of CT manifestations are important to facilitate diagnosis and management of lung cancer patients treated with this newly emerging radiotherapy method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated subjective image quality for two diagnostic tasks, periapical diagnosis and implant planning, for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) using different exposure parameters and fields of view (FOVs).

TL;DR: Beak sign of the LRV and CT findings can be useful in diagnosing the non-compensated NCS and showed the greatest diagnostic accuracy.

TL;DR: ARFI elastometry may describe parenchymal stiffness of various abdominal organs and the thyroid gland and further investigations are needed to compare these baseline findings in healthy organs with those of various tumours or diseases affecting the individual organs.

TL;DR: PET/CT was a high sensitive and EUS was ahigh specific modality in diagnosing patients with pancreatic cancer in a meta-analysis of 51 studies published in English or Chinese relating to the diagnostic value of (18)F-FDG PET, PET/CT and E US for patients with Pancic cancer.

TL;DR: This study successfully applied spatial resolution analysis using MSCT and CBCT systems in a comparative manner and could help in deciding which CT modality should be selected for various clinical cases.

TL;DR: PET/CT may prove a useful tool for pre-surgical staging of ovarian cancer with a sensitivity and specificity of 78 and 68%, respectively, however, it may be used in combination with laparoscopy for better results.

TL;DR: Overall, PET/CT showed comparable diagnostic performance to CECT in diagnosing primary tumors and regional lymph node metastases, though PET/ CT was inferior to Cect for the sensitivity and accuracy in diagnoses regional lymph nodes metastases.

TL;DR: Assessment of the reproducibility of a computer tomography angiography (CTA) based technique for measuring infra-renal aortic volume and diameter found it can all be measured reproducibly from CTA.

TL;DR: For the detection of colorectal liver metastases after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and consecutive diffuse fatty infiltration of the liver, MRI is superior to MDCT, especially for the Detection of small lesions.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic search for relevant studies was performed of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases, and the authors concluded that FDG-PET appears to be a sensitive and promising diagnostic tool for the detection of the causes of FUO.

TL;DR: The data from this study indicated that the paediatric medial patellofemoral ligament injury patterns, as seen on MR images, were similar to those in adults, and the trochlear groove anatomy and the magnitude of Trochlear dysplasia did not differ between adults and paediatrics with patellar instability.

TL;DR: E-learning will become an important source of education in radiology with the constant development of technology and global spread of computer networks and the creation of multimedia applications that provide valuable support for medical teaching and continuing medical education.

TL;DR: Combining DWI and MRSI increases the accuracy of preoperative imaging in the determination of glioma grade and is helpful in the clinical decision-making process to evaluate the histologic grade of tumors, and provide a means of guiding treatment.
