Longitudinal hemodynamic follow-up is important in the management of pulmonary hypertension (PH). This study aimed to evaluate the potential of MR 4-dimensional (4D) flow imaging to predict changes in the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) during serial investigations. Forty-four adult patients with PH or at risk of developing PH repeatedly un...

We aimed to investigate differential characteristics of plaque in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and hemodynamics in patients with ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA), and to develop a predictive model for the presence of ischemic stroke and neurological impairment. Sixty-seven patients with acute ischemic events in MCA territory ...

To apply deep learning algorithms using a conventional convolutional neural network (CNN) and a recurrent CNN to differentiate three breast cancer molecular subtypes on MRI. A total of 244 patients were analyzed, 99 in training dataset scanned at 1.5 T and 83 in testing-1 and 62 in testing-2 scanned at 3 T. Patients were classified into 3 subtypes ...

To evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with recurrent thyroid cancer invading the airways. We reviewed patients who had undergone RFA for recurrent thyroid cancer in the central compartment after total thyroidectomy between January 2008 and December 2018. All tumors were classified according to their association with ...

Standard treatment for severe coronary artery disease (CAD) is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). An underreported branch of the internal mammary artery, the lateral costal artery (LCA), can cause a steal phenomenon after CABG, resulting in angina. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and length of LCA based on CT angiography ...

To analyze missed rib fractures and proper time for evaluation on CT at different ages and to determine factors that favor missed fractures. One hundred patients with rib fractures who underwent CT were classified into three groups according to their age: young, middle-aged, and elderly. CT was performed within 1 to 6 weeks after trauma. The imagin...

To investigate the association of contrast-enhanced cone beam breast CT (CE-CBBCT) features, immunohistochemical (IHC) receptors, and molecular subtypes in breast cancer. In this retrospective study, patients who underwent preoperative CE-CBBCT and received complete IHC results were analyzed. CE-CBBCT features were evaluated by two radiologists. Ob...

To identify textural features on dual-energy CT (DECT)-based bone marrow images in myeloma which correlate with serum markers of myeloma activity and the degree of medullary involvement. A total of 110 patients (63.0 ± 11.0 years, 51 female) who underwent unenhanced whole-body DECT between September 2015 and February 2019 were retrospectively inclu...

Conventional perfusion-weighted MRI sequences often provide poor spatial or temporal resolution. We aimed to overcome this problem in head and neck protocols using a golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP) sequence. We prospectively included 58 patients for examination on a 3.0-T MRI using a study protocol. GRASP (A) was applied to a volumetric...
