Objectives Reducing avoidable radiation exposure during medical procedures is a top priority. The purpose of this study was to quantify, for the first time, the percentage of avoidable radiation during fluoroscopically guided cardiovascular interventions using eye tracking technologies. Materials and Methods Mobile eye tracking glasses were used to measure precisely when the operators looked at a fluoroscopy screen during the interventions. A novel machine learning algorithm and image processing...

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the clinical severity of COVID-19 pneumonia using qualitative and/or quantitative chest computed tomography (CT) indicators and identify the CT characteristics of critical cases. Materials and Methods Fifty-one patients with COVID-19 pneumonia including ordinary cases (group A, n = 12), severe cases (group B, n = 15), and critical cases (group C, n = 24) were retrospectively enrolled. The qualitative and quantitative indicators from chest CT...

Aims Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) visualizes scar tissue after myocardial infarction. However, in clinically used LGE sequences, subendocardial infarcts can be missed due to low contrast between blood pool and subendocardium. The purpose of his study was to compare scar visibility in a novel 3-dimensional (3D) single breath-hold inversion recovery sequence with fixed, short inversion time (TI = 100 milliseconds) (short LGE) and standard 3D LGE imaging with individually adjusted TI (LGE). ...

Objectives The aim of this study was to improve the visualization of coagulation necrosis after computed tomography (CT)–guided microwave ablation (MWA) in routine postablational imaging. Materials and Methods Ten MWAs were performed in 8 pigs under CT guidance. After each ablation, we obtained contrast-enhanced CT scans in venous phase. Ablations were then resected as a whole, and histologic slices were obtained orthogonally through the ablation center. Subsequently, a vital stain was applied...

Objectives Over the recent years, there have been increasing concerns that exposure to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) may be associated with retention of Gd within the skin, bones, and solid organs in patients with normal renal function, although the clinical implications of this deposition remain to be established. There are no published data available to guide the development of reference intervals for Gd concentrations in biological samples from healthy people. The aims of this study...

Objectives Several articles have investigated potential of sodium (23Na) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the in vivo evaluation of cartilage health, but so far no study tested its feasibility for the evaluation of focal cartilage lesions of grade 1 or 2 as defined by the International Cartilage Repair Society. The aims of this study were to evaluate the ability of 23Na-MRI to differentiate between early focal lesions and normal-appearing cartilage, to evaluate within-subject reproducibility...

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of stroboscopic-wavefield-sampling-based multifrequency magnetic resonance elastography (sMRE) for quantifying the stiffness of the human thoracic and abdominal aorta in vivo. Materials and Methods The sMRE of the thoracic and abdominal aorta was performed at 1.5 T field strength in 20 healthy volunteers aged 27 to 77 years (3 women; median age, 33 years; interquartile range [IQR], 16 years). Compound maps of shear wave speed...

Objectives To reduce the number of false-positive diagnoses in the screening of women with extremely dense breasts using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we aimed to predict which BI-RADS 3 and BI-RADS 4 lesions are benign. For this purpose, we use computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) based on multiparametric assessment. Materials and Methods Consecutive data were used from the first screening round of the DENSE (Dense Tissue and Early Breast Neoplasm Screening) trial. In this trial, asymptomatic...

Objectives Using maximum diameter of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) alone for management can lead to delayed interventions or unnecessary urgent repairs. Abdominal aortic aneurysm stiffness plays an important role in its expansion and rupture. In vivo aortic magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) was developed to spatially measure AAA stiffness in previous pilot studies and has not been thoroughly validated and evaluated for its potential clinical value. This study aims to evaluate noninvasive...
