OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to investigate the role of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing extrapulmonary metastases in primary osteosarcoma staging. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed medical data to identify primary osteosarcoma patients with available preoperative whole-body MRI obtained in the staging or restaging. Histopathology was the reference test for assessing the diagnostic performance, if available. Otherwise, oncology board decisions were used as the reference...

OBJECTIVE: Advancements in computed tomography (CT) reconstruction have enabled image quality improvements and dose reductions. Previous advancements have included iterative and model-based reconstruction. The latest image reconstruction advancement uses deep learning, which has been evaluated for polychromatic imaging only. This article characterizes a commercially available deep learning imaging reconstruction applied to dual-energy CT. METHODS: Monochromatic, iodine basis, and water basis images were reconstructed with filtered back projection (FBP), iterative (ASiR-V), and deep learning (DLIR) methods in a phantom experiment...

METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 75 lesions in 50 patients with pathologically proven breast cancer who underwent MRI in prone and supine positions between December 2019 and December 2020. The transverse, anteroposterior, and craniocaudal dimensions (in millimeters) of the tumor in the x-, y-, and z-axes were measured. Distances from the center of the tumor to the chest wall and the adjacent skin were measured on transverse and reformatted sagittal images. In cases where multifocal lesions were present, the transverse, anteroposterior, and craniocaudal distances between the tumor centers in the x-, y-, and z-axes were measured...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate clinical and radiologic characteristics of lung cancer in lung transplant recipients and evaluate the treatment course and prognosis. METHODS: The study included 448 patients who underwent lung transplant between 2005 and 2021. All patients had pretransplant chest computed tomography (CT), 429 patients had posttransplant CT, whereas 19 had no posttransplant CT (median number of posttransplant CT, 6; range, 0-24). Medical records of these patients were reviewed to identify patients who developed lung cancer after lung transplant...

OBJECTIVE: Although a qualitative diagnosis of plaque causing carotid stenosis has been attempted with carotid computed tomography angiography (CaCTA), no clear findings have been reported. We examined the correlation between the plaque CT values and plaque images obtained by magnetic resonance imaging to derive a qualitative diagnosis of the plaque using CaCTA. METHODS: Preoperative CaCTA images acquired from patients stented for carotid stenosis were retrospectively analyzed with respect to magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition with gradient echo and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography data...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to determine whether the site of "cross" between ventral and dorsal spinal longitudinal extradural CSF collections (SLECs) seen on magnetic resonance imaging during initial workup of patients with suspected CSF leaks can predict the subsequently confirmed leakage site on computed tomography myelography or surgical repair. METHODS: This was an institutional review board-approved, retrospective study performed from 2006 to 2021. Patients with SLECs who underwent total spine magnetic resonance imaging at our institution, followed by myelography and/or surgical repair for CSF leak, were included...

BACKGROUND: Little guidance exists on how to stratify radiation dose according to diagnostic task. Changing dose for different cancer types is currently not informed by the American College of Radiology Dose Index Registry dose survey. METHODS: A total of 9602 patient examinations were pulled from 2 National Cancer Institute designated cancer centers. Computed tomography dose (CTDIvol) was extracted, and patient water equivalent diameter was calculated. N-way analysis of variance was used to compare the dose levels between 2 protocols used at site 1, and three protocols used at site 2...
