    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Detecting local tumor recurrence from post-treatment changes in head and neck cancer (HNC) remains a challenge. Based on the hypothesis that post-therapeutically altered tissue is bradytroph, lower perfusion values are expected in perfusion CT (PCT) while higher perfusion values are expected in recurrent malignant tissue. OBJECTIVES: This prospective study investigates PCT for post-treatment recurrent HNC detection with a maximum slope algorithm. METHODS: A total of 80 patients who received PCT of the head and neck for post-therapy follow-up, of which 63 had no tumor recurrence and 17 presented a histopathologically confirmed recurrence were examined. Regions of interest were placed in the location of the initial tumor, in reference ipsilateral nuchal muscle tissue and the corresponding internal carotid artery. Perfusion was calculated using a single-input maximum slope algorithm. RESULTS: With PCT, recurrent HNC can be differentiated from post-treatment tissue (p  〈  0.05). It further allows delineating recurrent tumor tissue from benign nuchal tissue of reference (p  〈  0.05). PCT data of patients with and without recurrent HNC are comparable as perfusion values of reference tissues in patients with and without HNC do not differ (p  〉  0.05). CONCLUSIONS: PCT in combination with a commercially available maximum slope algorithm offers radiologists a reliable imaging tool to detect recurrent head and neck cancer within post-therapeutically altered tissue.

    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Post-therapeutic tissue is bradytrophic and thus has low perfusion values in PCT. In contrast, malignant tissue is expected to show higher perfusion values as cancer growth partially depends on angiogenesis. OBJECTIVES: This prospective study investigates perfusion computed tomography (PCT) for the post-therapeutic detection of cancer in the head and neck region. METHODS: 85 patients underwent PCT for 1) initial work-up of head and neck cancer (HNC; n=22) or 2) for follow-up (n=63). Regions of interest (ROIs) were placed in confirmed tumour, a corresponding location of benign tissue, and reference tissue. Perfusion was calculated using a single input maximum slope algorithm. Statistical analysis was performed with the Mann-Whitney U-test. RESULTS: PCT allowed significant differentiation of malignant tissue from post-therapeutic tissue after treatment for HNC (p=0.018). Significance was even greater after normalization of perfusion values (p=0.007). PCT allowed highly significant differentiation of HNC from reference tissue (p 〈 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: PCT provides significantly distinct perfusion values for malignant and benign as well as post-therapeutically altered tissue in the head and neck area, thus allowing differentiation of cancer from healthy tissue. Our results show that PCT in conjunction with a standard algorithm is a potentially powerful HNC diagnostic tool.

    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) uses the Doppler principle to quantify the movement of biological tissues. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the contribution of TDI parameters derived during magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound (MRI/US) fusion-guided biopsy for prostate cancer (PCa) discrimination. METHODS: From March 2016 to Dec. 2018, 75 men with suspected PCa prospectively underwent fusion-guided prostate biopsy. TDI overlaid on predefined target lesion were compared to the confirmed contralateral tumor-free area of the prostate gland (using Image J). Diagnostic value of TDI parameters was assessed using histopathology as standard of reference. RESULTS: Thirty-seven patients were diagnosed with PCa (49.3%), among them 27 with clinically significant PCa (Gleason score  〉  3 + 3 = 6 (ISUP 1). The LES/REF ratio was lower in confirmed PCa patients compared to patients without PCa (0.42, IQR, 0.22–0.59 vs. 0.52, IQR, 0.40–0.72, p = 0.017). TDI parameters allowed differentiation of low-risk from high-to-intermediate-risk PCa (ISUP 2 versus ISUP 3) based on lower pixel counts within the target ROI (1340, IQR 596–2430 vs. 2687, IQR 2453–3216, p = 0.004), lower pixel percentage (16.4 IQR 11.4–29.5 vs. 27.3, IQR 22.1–39.5; p = 0.005), and lower LES/REF ratios (0.29, IQR 0.19–0.51 vs. 0.52, IQR 0.47–0.74, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: TDI of prostate lesions prelocated by MRI discriminates between cancerous and noncancerous lesions and further seems to enable characterization of PCa aggressiveness. This widely available US technique may improve confidence in target lesion localization for tissue sampling.

    Abstract: In a patient, it is usually not macroscopically possible to estimate the non-viable volume induced by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) after the procedure. The purpose of this study was to use an Sixty-four liver specimens cut from 16 bovine livers were ablated under constant simulated, close physiological conditions with target volumes set to 14.14 ml (3-cm lesion) and 65.45 ml (5-cm lesion). Four commercially available radiofrequency (RF) systems were tested (n=16 for each system; n=8 for 3 cm and n=8 for 5 cm). A T1-weighted turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence with inversion recovery and a proton-density (PD)-weighted TSE sequence were acquired in a 1.0-T open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. After manual dissection, actual macroscopic ablation diameters were measured and volumes calculated. MR volumetry was performed using a semiautomatic software tool. To validate the correctness and feasibility of the volume formula in macroscopic measurements, MR multiplanar reformation diameter measurements with subsequent volume calculation and semiautomatic MR volumes were correlated. Semiautomatic MR volumetry yielded smaller volumes than manual measurement after dissection, irrespective of RF system used, target lesion size, and MR sequence. For the 3-cm lesion, only 43.3% (T1) and 41.5% (PD) of the entire necrosis are detectable. For the 5-cm lesion, only 40.8% (T1) and 37.2% (PD) are visualized in MRI directly after intervention. The correlation between semiautomatic MR volumes and calculated MR volumes was 0.888 for the T1-weighted sequence and 0.875 for the PD sequence. After correlation of semiautomatic MR volumes and calculated MR volumes, it seems reasonable to use the respective volume formula for macroscopic volume calculation. Hyperacute MRI after

    Abstract: To assess the feasibility, image quality, and accuracy of freehand biopsies of liver, bone, muscle, vertebral disc, soft tissue, and other lesions using balanced steady-state free precession (SSFP, balanced fast field echo: bFFE), spoiled and nonspoiled gradient echo (FFE), and turbo spin echo (TSE) sequences for interactive continuous navigation in an open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system at 1.0 tesla (T). Methods: Twenty-six MR-guided biopsies (five liver, five bone, four muscle, four vertebral disc, one lung, one kidney, one suprarenal gland, and five soft or other tissue) were performed in 23 patients in a 1.0-T open magnetic resonance (MR) scanner (Panorama HFO, Philips Healthcare, Best, the Netherlands). A total of 42 samples were obtained. Depending on lesion size and location, 14–18-gauge MR-compatible biopsy sets with a length of 100 or 200 mm (Somatex Medical, Teltow, Germany), 14–18-gauge MR-compatible semiautomatic biopsy guns with a length of 100 or 150 mm (Invivo, Schwerin, Germany), or 11-gauge MR-compatible bone marrow biopsy needles with a length of 100 mm (Somatex Medical, Teltow, Germany) were employed. Results: All lesions were visible with continuous interactive imaging. Our initial results indicate that bFFE is particularly suitable for fast-moving organs (pulmonary, paracardial); moving organs are targeted better with T1-weighted (T1W) TSE, T1W FFE (liver) or T2-weighted (T2W) TSE (complicated cysts, adrenal glands), and static organs are successfully approached with proton density (PD) (spine) or T1W TSE (peripheral bones, musculoskeletal system). No adverse events related to the use of MRI were obtained. No complications occurred according to the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) clinical practice guidelines. Conclusion: Applying tailored interactive dynamic imaging sequences for continuous navigation to liver, bone, muscle, vertebral disc, soft tissue, and other lesions can improve the feasibility, image quality, and interventional accuracy of freehand MR-guided biopsies and may hence reduce the risk of complications.

    Abstract: BACKGROUND: B-Mode and Doppler ultrasound are standard diagnostic techniques for early postoperative monitoring and long-term follow-up of kidney transplants. In certain cases, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is used to clarify unclear Doppler findings. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic performance of CEUS in the workup of renal allograft pathologies. METHODS: A systematic search for CEUS examinations of renal transplants conducted in our department between 2008 and 2020 was performed using the following inclusion criteria: i) patient age ≥18 years and ii) confirmation of diagnosis by biopsy and histopathology, imaging follow-up by CEUS, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (ceCT), contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ceMRI), or angiography, or intraoperative findings. Exclusion criteria were: i) CEUS performed in the setting of a study and ii) CEUS for other indications than dedicated renal transplant examination. Statistical analysis was performed separately for subgroups with different indications (focal vs non-focal). RESULTS: Overall, 78 patients were included in the statistical analysis, which revealed high sensitivity (92.2%, 95% -confidence interval [CI] 81.5–96.9%) and high specificity (88.9%, 95% -CI 71.9–96.1%) of CEUS. CONCLUSIONS: The high diagnostic performance demonstrated here and the superficial location of kidney allografts advocate the additional use of CEUS in the follow-up of renal transplant recipients.

    Abstract: Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a ventricular conduction delay with high prevalence. Aim of our study is to identify possible recurring patterns of artefacts in late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging in patients with LBBB who undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to define parameters of mechanical dyssynchrony associated with artefacts in LGE images. Materials and methods Fifty-five patients with LBBB and 62 controls were retrospectively included. Inversion time (TI) scout and LGE images were reviewed for artefacts. Dyssynchrony was identified using cardiac MRI by determining left ventricular systolic dyssynchrony indices (global, septal segments, and free wall segments) derived from strain analysis and features of mechanical dyssynchrony (apical rocking and septal flash). Results Thirty-seven patients (67%) with LBBB exhibited inhomogeneous myocardial nulling in TI scout images. Among them 25 (68%) patients also showed recurring artefact patterns in the septum or free wall on LGE images and artefacts also persisted in 18 (72%) of those cases when utilising phase sensitive inversion recovery. Only the systolic dyssynchrony index of septal segments allowed differentiation of patient subgroups (artefact/no artefact) and healthy controls (given as median, median ± interquartile range); LBBB with artefact: 10.44% (0.44–20.44%); LBBB without artefact: 6.82% (-2.18–15.83%); controls: 4.38% (1.38–7.38%); p & lt; 0.05 with an area under the curve of 0.863 (81% sensitivity, 89% specificity). Septal flash and apical rocking were more frequent in the LBBB with artefact group than in the LBBB without artefact group (70 and 62% versus 33 and 17%; p & lt; 0.05). Conclusion Patients with LBBB show recurring artefact patterns in LGE imaging. Use of strain analysis and evaluation of mechanical dyssynchrony may predict the occurrence of such artefacts already during the examination and counteract misinterpretation.
